Hello, the instruction manual to this circular saw is indeed wrong as I have had the same problem as you with the result of bending the Allen key and the deforming the screw. It occured to me that the screw was left handed but, on checking the manual, the instructions, as you say, definately say counterclockwise. Since I had already damaged the screw I ground it away to find it is left handed and have ordered another. I hope my mistake will help prevent someone else doing the same. Also, DeWalts instructions could be better.
