"Now we will talk about changing or replacing the blade on a table saw. As you can see there is a little insert which has a little finger hole. You remove the insert; you bring your blade all the way up and with two wrenches provided with one you lock the pin in place, with the second one you undo the bolt from the shaft. You also remove the little anti-vibration collar. Take the blade off, you replace it with the new one. You gently slide it into place, making sure the blade is firmly against the guard inside the saw, you replace the vibration collar, you replace the bolt. Sometimes folks you have to be a bit patient because those things are tight, and the procedure you reverse. You gently do not over tighten the screw or the bolt, I'm sorry. You lower the blade and you replace the inset plate. One thing I forgot to tell you and it's very important; you obviously unplug the tool before you do any of this type of maintenance. This is for your safety just in case any accidental switch on may happen. Thank You."
