My ozito double bevel sliding compound miter saw is burning wood cuts. I aasume its because of a blunt saw blade. However, o cannt loosen the hex bolt to change the blade. I tried tapping and using wd40 and other penetrants and lubricants still it wont bulge. Any suggestions? Thanks
Welcome to the Bunnings Workshop community @asther1992. It's fantastic to have you join us and many thanks for your question.
You might be interested in reading through a previous discussion on stuck bolts: Help!! Unable to remove blade on Mitre Saw by @Tara86.
As @Noyade has mentioned above, after removing the tool power cord from the socket, using a piece of timber is a great way to lock the blade. You will then undo the bolt in a clockwise direction.
As per my response in the other discussion, if you are unscrewing the bolt in the correct direction (which is clockwise) and you are struggling to remove it, then I would suggest returning to a Bunnings store and seeing if a team member can assist. They will assess the machine and work out what would be the next course of action.
Please let us know how you go.
