Currently accepting applications for someone who can explain how the heck I get this blade on. Mansplaining welcome! Womensplaining welcome! Anyonesplaining welcome! As long as it ends with me not losing a finger, I'm all ears. Yes I've read the manual. No it didn't help. 😅🔨

Use the Allen key and undo the black nut in the middle. I think the keys attached to the handle. And that is a very powerful tool be very careful

Not an expert at this but it looks like you loosen the bolt in the center, then adjust that little orange lever in some way to allow the light gray plastic guard at the bottom to retract/roll back out of your way, them slide the blade up through the hole you just made in the bottom and attach it to the saw with the bolt you loosened in step one. Though honestly I've never seen that brand before so it's possible they made it extremely overcomplicated just to get the blade in and out. (Edit, just realized there is also probably a push button lock somewhere on the top of the blade to keep the bolt from spinning freely when you are trying to loosen it.) (edited)

🪦 no, but seriously, what I usually do in cases like this is google the product name or model/serial number with the term "exploded diagram" and see what I can't figure out by looking at all the (usually labeled) parts and where they go/how they interact.
