Thanks for the tip, mine is a cordless 18 v and it’s slightly more difficult then shown but not impossible!!

It’s all plastic and kinda worried about breaking something. I’ve had mine like for almost 2 yrs. I was using it and barely bumped the wall and the blade just exploded….Really crazy weird.

Thanks for the help.

Cannot find the correct part on the internet anywhere. Mine is orange and flat on the back side; not coned & green as shown in your tutorial.

Jan I believe mine was orange originally as well. I would try to contact their parts department to ensure it will work before ordering though.
