okay so i actually have big guy helping
to shoot this video because i tried to
do it on my tripod turned out horrible
so what i have here is what i call the
chop saw
and i wanted to shoot a quick video
because
i ran into this problem i have used this
now for
what five years and ed was at work one
day and i could not figure out how to
unlock the
what i call the head i don't know what
ed calls it so i'm going to show you
guys how to unlock this
now i'm going to push down lightly on
the handle not the blade
cut guard and then there's a little
button back here
and i'll it'll come closer here in a
minute maybe show you guys
um you pull this little out this little
button out
and then you can actually unlock it and
so
i knew there was a way to do it and i've
watched him do it before
but my problem is sometimes when i go to
other
videos on youtube and it's a male doing
it no offense men
um some of them are they they just kind
of talk down
just assuming it's going to be a woman
coming on and looking
so i just wanted to show you guys this
quickly
and show you how to do it and i no
disrespect and i don't know that they
meant it either sometimes i think it's
just
people's um sometimes maybe dialect or
whatever
so i do want to show you one more time
to lock it you'll just do the opposite
you'll just go ahead
and bring it down push it in and in this
case you'll just push the pen back in
and so uh do you want to get closer
maybe um so i'll show you one more time
and then i'm going to have ed kind of
show you the pen
without worrying about me so push down
on the handle not the guard blade
this it's right back here okay you'll
pull out
and come up and then to go backwards and
go ahead and lock it
we're going to go ahead and come back
down i'm going to lightly hold the
handle not the guard on the blade
and then i'm just going to push that pin
back in that's it
so for those of you who have a chalk saw
who are just
learning who are new to woodworking
that is how you do it
easy peasy don't try to hold this and
push down on the guard
for the blade that way you don't knock
anything out of sync
you know it's okay if you lightly put
your hand there but what you don't want
to do is put too much pressure right
here
so you always want to make sure you do
the handle so that is it guys that is
how you do it i hope this helps somebody
out
and i'll talk to you guys soon bye
