Change The Blade On A Circular Saw ~ My Ryobi Cordless Saw Gets New Life
How to change the blade in your circular saw. I recently received new blades for my Ryobi cordless circular saw so I immediately put in a new blade.
Changing blades in a circular saw is quite easy, but many people have actually never done it. Many people just keep cutting with the original blade forever as it gets slower and slower and starts to make sloppy cuts.
A new blade makes a cleaner cut and saves wear and tear on your saw motor.
FIRST - remove the battery or unplug the saw before you proceed for your safety.
There is a brake on your saw on the top somewhere. Pressing this button locks the blade in place so it will not rotate. This allows you to remove the retaining screw.
The retaining washer has an arrow on it showing which way to loosen or tighten the blade.
Turn the screw to loosen the blade and remove both the screw and washer.
Now you can lift out the old blade.
The blade guard of the saw has an arrow showing the direction of movement. The blade also has an arrow on it. These should both point in the same direction.
Put the blade in place and then the retaining washer. Now tighten the screw to lock the blade back in place while pressing on the blade brake.
Now replace the battery (on a cordless saw) or plug in the power cord. Turn on the saw for a second and watch the rotation of the blade. Make sure it is turning in the correct direction.
Now you can get back to work in your wood shop.
