 How to change the blade on a DeWalt miter saw. Ola Woodworkers, Paul Carson here, a small workshop guy. Make sure it is unplugged. Find the tool that came with your miter saw. Raise the handle up, forth, raise the guard up. Unscrew this bolt right here by going counterclockwise. After you have loosened that bolt and don't take it all the way out, just loosen it far enough to hold this guard up. Let me demonstrate. Now this guard right here that is around that bolt has to go up. You might have to give it some encouragement, but in that case I just pushed it up. What that did was it gave us access to the arbor. So now we're just going to loosen this bolt and the arbor nut that holds the blade in place. The key thing to learn is that when you loosen this one it's a reverse tread. So instead of loosening it by going counterclockwise, you loosen it by going clockwise. You will want to lock the blade in place by holding a blade lock that's on the other side of this blade. So loosen this and take it all the way out by going clockwise. Take off the arbor nut, take off your blade, put on your new blade, replace the arbor nut, and then tighten this bolt again. In this case you tighten it by going counterclockwise. You then are going to just pull this metal guard here back down over this bolt. So once you have that back over that bolt then just tighten that bolt back up. In this case you tighten it by going clockwise. Screw that all the way back in, lower it, check it, make sure it's all the way you want it, and that's how you change a blade in a DeWalt DW715 miter saw. The same method is probably true for almost all DeWalt miter saws. Small workshop guy hoping you find this helpful. Stay safe in your workshop. See you next video.
