Motor faulty

Bearing failing or debris on shaft

I just found one by my dumpster that was trashed bc the blade was stuck. I took it apart and after some fiddling, finding nothing on youtube, and no research, I was about to give up. But I clamped some pliers around the blade relrelease collar, because it was obvious the lock release wasn't doing as much as it should, and gave it a firm twist TOWARDS THE LOCK RELEASE and it freed up the collar and the blade!!!! Soaking it in 3 in 1 oil now. Super excited to turn trash into treasure. I have a neighbor that does wood crafts and shes SUPER excited about it. The motor and everything seems to be in working order so it just needs a battery now (:

I had the same problem. I attached the blade to the motor incorrectly. Once I put it on right it worked like it was supposed to.

You have to dismantle your saw completely to do this. If you have to ask how to do it, then you are not qualified to do it. I would either send the saw in for repair or use a stick to secure the blade when changing them. Make sure you remove the battery and or unplug the saw when changing your blades. Thanks,

Clean the area where the guard attaches to the hub assy. It is a snap ring that is holding the guard on. You will need to either use a pick or a small flathead screw driver in order to remove it. There should be a little tab that you will be able to work out. Look around the entire perimeter of the hub to locate it. You may need some extra light to see it. Stick the pick or small flathead behind the tab from the right. Work the tab out and above the hub. Now you can work your pick or scredriver around the perimeter to remove the ring. Install it in a similar fashion but use the flathead to guide the ring back into the groove, working it around the opposite way.

Unplug the saw. Draw a line on the workpiece. When the laser guide switch is turned on it will generate a red line on the work surface. This line will let you see your mark and the laser guide line at the same time, and will assist you in lining up the mark for more accurate cutting of the workpiece. has tha saw been droped?

The cover is a very tight, stretch-fit boot. After removing the shoe release lever, shoe pin and shoe assembly you have to pull, stretch and pry the boot off. It helps a lot to have someone assist The boot is fairly tough rubber but be careful not to tear it. It helps to have the boot warm to almost hot so it stretches easier.

It really does sound like you have burned out the motor, so the whole thing may have locked up. If this is not the case, try using a wrench on the centre spindle and reversing the motor, possibly loosening something that my be trapped inside the motor blade drive gear mechanism.

Sounds like the rubber stopper fit the guard fell off or broke. There should be a threaded hole on the outside of the saw body. Contact Ryobi for a replacement guard stopper and screw?
