I have the same exact craftsman saw! I too had the same problem. In order for me to change the blade I have to use a screwdriver inserted between the blade teeth and the guard, works great for me.

Al,

You are probably right, and I probably lost that piece 3 or 4 moves ago

On your Craftsman saw I believe that there’s a flat open end wrench type tool that you put behind the blade to hold it while you use another wrench on the outside nut and turn.

Ouch is right! I never did that one, but I did saw the cord off of my saw. You really do have to pay attention when working with any power tools. I’m glad you didn’t injure yourself.

I have a recurring problem with my miter fence for the table saw. I have cut several notches into it because it is over too far. ODdly enough I always jump in suprise and have to think for a few minutes to figure out where the grinding is coming from.

Oh, how I wish I had a Bosch table saw to cosmetically damage!

They say the chief cause of injury with power tools is lapse in attention. I’m glad you and your tools didn’t get the lesson in a more costly way.

Ouch! I’m glad all of your fingers are still intact. I’m not the biggest fan of circular saws… in fact I refuse to USE ours… probably because it’s BROKEN in some way that affects it’s safety…
