crwdns2915892:0crwdne2915892:0

This guide shows you how to replace the base assembly on this circular saw. This part may need replacement if it is damaged, broken, or warped in such a way as to prevent making clean cuts. Symptoms of a warped base assembly include: cuts skewing to the side when the blade is set at zero degrees or a binding blade caused by the cutting base not sitting flush against the cutting surface.
