How do take the guard off a bosch circular hand saw

Question

not permanently, its been stuck in the up possision for a while now i would like to clean and fix. its so tight i need a hammer to bring it back down

Answer 1

TAke the blade off then you should be able to see a ring behind where the blade is and there is a snap ring in there that holds the guard on. remove the ring and remove clean and replace.  you may have to take off the bottom skid plate to do this or at least let it all the way down "like making a real shallow cut" I will worn you the spring is a butt to get hooked back up.

Answer 2

I never heard of a "circular hand saw". If you're talking about a circular(skill saw) then I suggest you bring it to an authorized deler for repair.This is a an all to common complaint on skill saws and is very dangerous.See a dealer ASAP.
