I have bought a secondhand ryobi cw 1440 circular saw with no instruction manual and am unsure how to change the blade. there is a nut holding the saw blade onto the machine which i have a hex key to fit, however as it is attatched to the blade, when i turn the nut it also turns the blade so there is no loosening. short of holding the actual blade in the palm of my hand i cant figure out where to hold to stop the blade spinning when i turn the nut(and im not willing to do that - its sharp) thank you

Press the yellow button near the blade housing to lock the blade in place. You can undo the Allen key and change the blade.

Macallister chop saw blade problem, the motor runs but when half way through cutting wood the blade stops ?

I'm not sure if you have a chop saw or circular saw. Either way, it sounds like the nut and washer are not tight enough to hold the blade. If you have a circular saw clockwise will tighten the nut and washer onto the blade and hold it in place. Most chop saws are a left hand thread and then you would turn the nut counter clockwise to hold the blade tighter. The blade wobbles because it is not tight.

Bought the new ryobi 7 1/4 inch miter saw. Factory installed blade stops but spindle doesn't. There is an inner /washer, then the blade, then an outer and then the bolt. Why is blade stil

The shoulders on the washers have to be properly aligned with the hole in the saw blade so the nut can tighten properly. Are the washers turned the right way? Try flipping one or both the opposite direction.

You're done

Good luck end enjoy

I need to replace the circular blade on my Ryobi EMS-1425L Mitre Saw. How do I lock the blade to undo the securing nut (can't find the instruction manual)?

Most power saws will have a small button on the frame, generally hidden but you'll find it if you have a good look. Push on the button and turn the blade gently. The button should lock in and lock the blade and then enable you to undo the securing nut.

Ryobi 18v circular saw owners manual - blade is loose!

Usually there is a button to press that locks the shaft arbor and then you use a wrench to tighten OFTEN is a left hand thread!

Check for lock button behind the blade guard toward the motor.

Ryobi Circular Saw

unplug saw
new Ryobi have a spindle lock button, it is unobtrusive and you may miss it

If yours does not, secondhand etc, a screwdriver in the blade teeth between the upper and lower guards provides a locking bar enough to undo the arbor bolt
