Changing a Miter/Chop Saw Blade (Hitachi C10FCH2)

Brad Carvalho shows how to change a mitre saw (chop saw) blade; he shows it on the Hitachi C10FCH2 but the instructions should generally work for other saws too. Brad does remodeling and repairs in Rhode Island, 401-419-2239

how long do you stare at wood before you cut?

[Chirael]

@ICONic4ev7 As long as we need to, to make sure we cut it correctly :)

Are you licensed and insured? Because you look like you just crawled out of a dumpster.

@mza2G Actually he is licensed and insured, I made sure of it before I hired him for the job - look up Brad Carvalho on the Rhode Island Contractor Registration Board (Google it, since Youtube won't let me give you a direct link here). And he looks like that because I harangued him into making this video in the middle of a day when he was busting his ass to get a ton of work done on my house. Fortunately I was paying him to get sh*t done, not to look like a rock star :)

@mza2G Man why even post a dumbshit comment like that

Thanks guys, I just got this exact saw and was reading the instructions...which suck with very few diagrams! Now I can do this no problem. :) Time for some great DIY projects!!

I will add that as a small woman frequently DIYing alone I had to tape down the blade lock in order to have both hands to untighten and then adequately re-tighten the main blade bolt. The socket wrench was a necessity for me to manage it.

Thanks from Nebraska.

Fantastic! You made this so much easier than trying to interpret the manual.
