How do you change out the blade for this saw, I bought the Tungsten Proxxon 2 inch blade and can't figure out how to change out the old one.

You take that grey cover off (snaps) on the side and there is a metric allen head screw that you loosen to change the blade. Use a piece of scrap wood under the teeth of the blade to hold it from turning while you loosen/tighten the screw.

I am not familiar with the blade you mention, but the replacement HHS blades available from various retailers are replaced exactly as suggested by other respondents. If in doubt, see page 4 of the instruction manual for installation and reverse to remove. There was a Allen wrench included in the box with my saw.

Had the same question myself, since that is the model of Hitachi miter saw I am intending to buy. If you look at the Amazon user uploaded photos, the second one shows the laser on the Hitachi C10FCE2. The model number is on the side of the blade housing. Amazon also seems to think these two items are "regular bought together". Planning on purchasing both and seeing if it works out. I'll try to update my experience. *Update* Installed and it works perfectly. Didn't need to make any adjustments when I installed it.

Make sure the plastic guard is on the blade. Pull of the old blade and you will be left with the Y shape arm then snap in the new blade.

At one time they came with the replacement, don't know if they still do. Here's a link to eHow instructions. Read more : http://www.ehow.com/how_6448756_change-remington-foil-blades.htmlRead more : http://www.ehow.com/how_6448756_change-remington-foil-blades.html

I have not had the need to change the blade yet, but I would imagine that the procedure is covered in the owners manual and probably changes in the same manner as any other circular saw.

Sorry, never changed the blade. I just tried Standley brand, but they are too thin along the back also. I never knew there were different thicknesses of blades.

You have to have the old design of the dw 718. I actually returned my dw718 for a different dw718 at Lowes. They thought I was crazy. But what happened when they redesigned it, with some great improvments, is that DeWalt changed the handle and the laser does not fit on the new design. DeWalt may have a fix since about 18 mo. ago that I'm not aware of, but otherwise you need to look for the 718 from the correct year. Now, if you have the proper design, then the instructions are straightforward, but i'm happy to help if you need it. DeWalt also has service centers and their products carry initial service agreements if I recall correctly. Hope this helps, but feel free to ping me again here if needed. Cheers!

The black thing on the end screws right on the dremel. you need to take off the end of the dremel tool as for the saw you have to use your own tools to replace it.

The saw has a drive belt and I bet yours is a bit stretched. Easy to replace. Check your owners manual for belt replacement - might be on page 37. That should do the trick for you.

You don't and don't waste your money on new blades or battery, they never work..Try sending it back to the company with your receipt and a letter for a new free one or buy a new one.

I have a dealt 7491rs table saw and the slot for the blade is in the wrong spot. I had to cut the plate hole a inch over with my hack saw to match my table saw blade

Swivel the locking lever and pop it out. It's not hard to do. Take the old blade with you to the store as there is a bewildering selection.

Rikon and sears sell direct replacements. I make my own out of hardboard for each blade I use because I like to have zero clearance. Rough cut it on the bandsaw, double stick tape the original to the new one to use as a template and clean it up on a large disk or stationary belt sander. I leave the double stick tape on the new insert (bottom down) and use it in the saw.If you do this, drill some 3/16" holes to aid dust collection.

Sorry, I have looked and looked and cannot find someone who offers a replacement blade. I saw one for $900 but that is 4 times the cost of the machine. Someone said you may sharpen the blade yourself. Lay it on a flat surface and use a very fine sand paper wrapped around a solid block of wood. Be very careful with the sanding strokes and you will be able to achieve a sharp cutting edge. I haven't tried that myself but I intend to.

Call the company. They actually make a special chain for this saw. I found that out the hard way.

I searched "Razorsaw No. S-290" (from the labeling on the blade) and found this: RAZOR Saw 180 thick blade Extra blade S-293 Ordered. Will report back if it doesn't fit.
