This guide will show you how to properly install a new protective shell to your Ryobi CSB125 circular saw. If the protective shield is cracked/damaged, or isn’t functioning properly, then the protective shell should be replaced. This troubleshooting pagewill help diagnose any potential problems occurring due to a faulty protective shell. In the event that a new shell is needed, this guide will show the steps to properly install a new one. The only tools you will need are a 7”/32 Allen key and T20 Torx screwdriver.

Instructions fail at step #5. Bottom-left screw is under the plastic blade guard which blocks removal of the screw. Blade guard covers the screw no matter how it’s positioned.
If you wiggle the plastic you can remove
I was able to remove… be patient it does work
Instructions also fail at step #6. I have no idea how to remove the plastic blade guard from the axle so I can transfer it to the new (replacement) blade guard.
I also was struggling… … but if you look closely there is a thin metal ring around the center plastic ring that the spindle runs through… this has a split in it…. I used a small flat Precision screwdriver (type used to tighten reading glasses,etc)and was able to pry at the split and remove the thin metal ring.
Once removed this frees the plastic guard and it drops right out.
Just reverse to reassemble.
This works… just be patient
