Stubborn Screws:
I agree with the above tips. But sometines you can try this. Turn the saw so that the screws face up. Cradle or support the saw from rocking all over the work bench, then take a screwdriver that juct fits the slot. Make sure the screwdriver is sitting square in the slot and give it a sharp wrap with a medium sized hammer. Some times this will shock the screws emough to remove them. Try it a couple times on each screw. If you are still having problems then you'll have to get the impact driver out and use it, in the manner described above. Get a bit that just fits the screw, stablize the saw, square up the bit in the slot. twist or turn the driver, in the direction you want the screw to turn and strike with a sharp blow from a hammer. This usually works for me. If the screws have not seen lock tight, then use the green lock tight to assemble. or use some antiseize compound on them and tighten accordingly. JMO. Take care. Lewis.
