How do I change the saw blade?

I am not familiar with the model so I don't know how the top comes off but usually they aren't held down by much.

Usually it only needs the plastic or aluminium insert to be removed to access the riving knife or to remove the blade.

A maladjusted riving knife is a common cause of a "catching" blade.

It is worth considering, when such saws arrive they usually need calibrating, which often means semi-dismantling the saw and rebuilding it with a higher degree of precision than the factory can muster - using a large trusted set square, an accurate blade height gauge, etc.
It is also worth considering many modern table saws also have an electric brake that is supposed to stop the blade in a couple of seconds when the power is switched off.

If I understood correctly, you started using your husband's table saw and while ripping boards, you managed to stall out the blade AND motor?! If that's the case, you probably have a very dull blade and are binding your board on the blade. Neither is safe and it sounds like trouble is brewing.

First and foremost, get someone to show you how to safely and properly use and adjust the saw if you are new to wood working and power tools. That saw is capable of turning your lumber into a high speed missal if you do things improperly.

It also sounds like you tried installing a new 10" saw blade. Changing the blade requires 2 wrenches. One to hold the arbor and one to tighten the nut. The blade itself should rest on the arbor between two large washers. Also make sure you install the blade so the front face of the cutter teeth face you and rotate toward you. Make sure the saw is unplugged when changing the blade and never turn on your saw with a loose blade.

I am not sure if you can apply these steps with your band saw but you may use this blog for reference : http://bandsawblog.com/replacing-the-band-saw-blade-on-your-band-saw/
Where did you get your new blade? I got mine on www.sawblade.com . Works pretty well. Anyways, goodluck then. I wish I can give you more help .

Hello. Since the saw doesn't sound like it had a ground attached, I would begin by checking the motor to be sure that it is ok. here is an excellent link that explains exactly how to do just that:

Exploded diagram for your SM100M miter saw is here.
User manual is here.

Page 20 covers blade change operation.

Make sure you unplug your saw! You need to remove a screw from the cover and rotate the cover to the rear. Use a hex wrench in the motor shaft to keep the saw blade from turning, and loosen the arbor nut with a 1/2" wrench. The arbor is reverse threaded, so you'll turn it clockwise to loosen, then counterclockwise to tighten it up after you have swapped the blade.
Rotate the cover back after that's done, and replace the screw.

I have used the same tool. Make sure that the blade release/ hold tab is engaged. Maybe the return spring is fouled or stuck. Try some lubricant.

You may wanna check the Conveyor Cart Wheel. Replacing this wheel maintains smooth rolling action which contributes to straight, chip-free cuts.

It costs for only about $28.72. Here, you may check this link if you wish to buy the Conveyor Cart Wheels:

Unfortunately, I couldn't find any service center where you can bring your Target Tile saw for repair. But you may check the manufacturer's contact number on the user's manual.

Have a great day!

If the arbors the same and you're running with in the RPM rating, it will be fine. But ALWAYS wear your safety glasses.
