That large torx nut on the side underneath the cover will turn the motor which in turn will free up the shaft, I used an impact driver with a T-40 torx driver bit
After watching, I took a flat head screwdriver and a hammer. Place screwdriver where blade goes. Turn flathead so it doesn't go into slot! Hit hard once or twice. Fixed!!!! Thank you for your help!
Easy as pie? No! Way easier than that. Easy as hammering the flat side of a screwdriver placed on top of shaft that the blade goes into. Tap tap. Tap tap. Working again. Thx for the tip.
The large torques bolt on the side underneath that cover will turn the motor over that’s what it’s there for so if you just take a impact driver or even just a a socket wrench with a T 40 torques driver that will turn the motor over and free the shaft it
Just use a pice of wood on the head were you put the blade and tap it in and spray wd40 that is how i fixed mine after seen this video, Mine is working fine again.
Awesome thanks bro! I just squirted oil down the tip and banged on it with my channel locks, it started working again. I'm a plumber so mine seems a lot of water and dirt, I'm surprised it still works. Glad I didn't have to take it apart thanks again
Great video
Mine did the same thing
Bought a new one Monday, I'm gonna try your method
I forgot mine out in the rain for a couple days and today it finally took a poo. Time to rebuild.

I just bought this saw and the pivot shoe is jammed. Im going to cut my project then return it an get the older model for $80. Less
Thank you so much.good video
God bless you and your family!!!
Thanks for your video, I’m glad I watch the whole thing before I started disassembling. We just hit the end with a hammer! Thanks again!
I was thinking the same thing
My thoughts exactly), sometimes an hammer is the best solution.
you pulled that off wrong, it wiggles straight off only a small screwdriver to get boot over blade lock mech
"and...there's this giant nut"
Points at bolt....
We have broken quick-lok
Mine had a lot more greese in the gears
mine did the same thing. Big flat head down the middle and a knock with a hammer free’d her up. Thank god I didn’t pull it apart
Good stuff
