How to replace hack saw blade - Stanley Composite Hacksaw

Unplug the saw. If the blade is moving, wait for it to stop. If the blade arm is locked into its down position, push down slightly on the blade arm to release the tension on the blade arm lock pin. Pull out the lock pin to release the blade arm and allow it to move upward.
2 Rotate the lower blade guard upward and expose the Phillips-head screw that holds the blade bolt cover in place. Loosen the screw and rotate the blade bolt cover up and out of the way to expose the hex-head blade bolt.
3 Push the spindle lock button in and rotate the blade bolt until the spindle lock engages fully, stopping the ability of the blade bolt to rotate.
4 Loosen the blade bolt using a 10-millimeter/12-millimeter combination wrench. The blade bolt is lefthand threaded, which is the reverse of conventional threading. Turn the bolt clockwise to loosen and remove it. Note the placement of the outer washer and remove it as well.
5 Place a drop of machine oil on the inner blade bolt washer. Do not remove the inner washer. If it is missing, replace it before replacing the blade.
6 Slide the replacement saw blade up past the lower blade guard and onto the blade spindle. The blade teeth should point downward at the front of the saw. Saw blades often have rotation arrows that can help you double-check that the saw is installed to rotate the correct direction.
7 Press the spindle lock button in to lock the spindle and reinstall the blade bolt. The blade bolt will tighten in a counterclockwise direction. Replace the blade bolt cover and install the blade bolt cover screw.
8 Position a combination square to check that the blade is square to the saw fence and saw table. If the blade is not square, refer to the procedures in the manual for squaring the blade to the fence and table.
Things You Will Need

• 10-millimeter/12-millimeter combination wrench
• 5-millimeter hex key
• Combination square
• Phillips screwdriver
• Machine oil

Tip

• Overtightening bolts and screws can result in cross-threading. Cross-threading damage compromises the integrity of bolts and screws and can be a difficult error to correct.

Warning

• Do not attempt to install a blade that is too thick in the saw. If the blade washer cannot engage the flats on the spindle, the blade is too thick for the saw.

yes
that allows the teeth to come off the job in the backward motion to prevent damage to the teeth
same as when using a hack saw you lift the blade on the back stroke or it blunts the teeth

use a press to push out the rubber and then use a hacksaw blade to cut through remove the blade and pass it through the hole and then do the hack saw back up.. Then use something like a flat blade screw driver and drive it between the body and the metal insert and break next to where you have cut

Hello there.
The TENSION in the frame holds these blades in their slot.
What you do is
1) turn the saw upside down so the blade is pointing upwards.
2) Hold the handle of the saw tight against your tummy or if you have strong arms just your hands So the saw faces away from you.
3) Put the far end of the frame against a hard surface like a wall or bench.
4) Push the handle against the force and you will see the FRAME bend very slightly, this will allow you to push the blade out of its slot.
Engage new blade at the handle end then do the reverse of the above to allow the other end of the blade to go in the slot .

DONE !!!

If your Bosch 3915 compound miter saw is making a grinding sound when it slows down, it could be an indication of a few different issues. Here are a few things you can try to fix the problem: Clean the saw blade: A dirty saw blade can cause the saw to make a grinding sound. Use a brush or compressed air to remove any debris or sawdust from the blade. Check the blade for damage: A damaged or worn blade can cause the saw to make a grinding sound. Check the blade for any chips or missing teeth, and replace the blade if necessary. Check the bearings: The bearings on the saw's motor and blade can wear out over time, causing a grinding sound. Try to move the blade side to side to check for any play or looseness. If the bearings are worn, they will need to be replaced. Check the motor brushes: The motor brushes on the saw can also wear out and cause a grinding sound. Check the brushes for wear and replace them if necessary. Lubricate the saw: Lack of lubrication can cause the saw to make a grinding sound. Use a lubricant designed for power tools to lubricate the blade and other moving parts of the saw. If none of these steps solve the problem, it's best to take your saw to a professional for repair. Grinding sounds can be an indication of serious issues, and it's important to address them before they cause further damage to your saw

Some furniture shops used 7 1/4 circular saw blade for other brands of circular saw. Based on my experienced it's applicable as long their is clearance for the blade not touch the adjustable safety cover of the unit. Thanks for asking FixYa.

Check blade is on properly. Remove blade and clean area where mounts to shaft. Make sure proper washers are in place. If blade is bent or wobbles replace. If blade is dull replace. Be sure you're getting enough water to saw. Don't force the tile through, let the saw do the work. Nothing helps any kind of saw more than a nice new blade.
