How To Change Makita Miter Saw Blade - Sliding 10"

Editorial Summary

The creator provides a step by step tutorial on how to replace the blade on a Makita 10 inch sliding miter saw, specifically model number LS1017L. The process begins with a safety warning to ensure the tool is unplugged before any work starts. The creator identifies the necessary tools, which include the wrench stored inside the saw slider and a Phillips head screwdriver. The procedure involves removing the protective guard by loosening a 13 millimeter screw and a Phillips head screw. To remove the blade, the user must press a locking button to prevent the blade from spinning before loosening the center bolt. The creator notes that this specific bolt uses reverse threads, meaning it must be turned to the right to loosen. After removing the old blade, the creator advises checking the direction of the teeth and using the arrow on the new blade to ensure correct installation. The assembly process involves reversing the steps, including tightening the center bolt counterclockwise. Finally, the creator demonstrates reattaching the protective guard and testing the saw handle to ensure the blade moves freely and the safety features are functional.
