Can't Raise/lower Blade
Hello. There are 2 screws that go through a plate involved in raising and lowering the blade. One is connected to the crank/handle used to raise the blade. It goes through the block which rides in a channel on one of the connected plates.The other seems to go through the plate and maybe supports the weight?? Anyway, my guess is that the nut on the supporting screw (it is threaded below the plate) must have come off which then caused the lock washer on the crank screw to come off (since it then supported all the force of raising and lowering) so the blade can't be moved. I tried putting a lock washer on the "supporting" screw but the lack washer on the crank screw keeps popping off and I doubt I will be able to get one to stay on since the groove it sits in is very shallow. The saw works fine except for this and I hate to trash it. The newer saws have a slightly different design and I was wondering if I can order the new parts and use them to fix the saw. Comments/suggestions??
