[Milwaukee M18 circular saw]

This is crazy. I have the c-clip off now and the thing is still stuck in there. It will not budge.

Thanks for all the great advice.

Ok thanks, can you tell me how to release the c-clip please?

Yeah, I got the blade right. It has arrows on the saw and blade. Lol

I'm just wondering how much I want to dig to get this thing out or just take it to a service center. It's an hour away but might be worth it.

Yeah, it dug into the black plastic washer a little. The one that looks like black confetti isnt my saw, just a picture I found online with the same problem. My saw isn't as bad but it is dug in a stuck.

Should I take a razor and dig it out a little or would that harm something else?

Thanks

Ok thanks, only problem is it is stuck where it is. I tried to lift it to turn it around and the whole saw came up with it. Any suggestions to help get it off would be appreciated.

Thanks,

Recently bought a new Milwaukee m18 circular saw. I put a thin blade on it and something isn't right. If I loosen the bolt, it slips. But if I tighten it seems bogged down and there isn't a happy medium in between. It seems to me that the inner flange is flipped around backwards but I can not get it out. It seems in a fixed position or is it just ground into the black plastic under it? This is my 1st circular saw so I'm not sure. Any help on the cause and any help on a fix would be greatly appreciated. 1st pic is of my saw, 2nd is another pic I found online with similar problem.

Thanks,

Kyle
