909 Sliding Compound Mitre Saw

Are you having trouble holding the blade stationery, or having trouble keeping the spanner on the nut?

bit of both actually :~:~

To hold the blade stationery, just put a low piece of wood against the fence (a piece of 42 x 19 pine laying flat would be ideal) and push the blade down on to it and while pushing down undo the nut. The direction you need to turn the nut will help to push the blade into the wood. I am not familiar with the type of nut they use on this brand, so if you could put up a photo we may be able to help further.

thanks I'll give that wood block a razz :2tsup:
got a hex head inside a nut holding the blade on with the typical "push button to lock blade" mechanism that's a pain in the to do both at once :doh:
