Parkside (Lidl) track saw

[galleywood]

Does anyone know the spec for the blade clamping screw, and is it RH or LH thread?

I am struggling to remove the screw, to change the blade, and the hex socket in the screw seems to be soft.

I will have to replace the screw, so if anyone knows where I can get a replacement, I would very much appreciate it.

I have a spare one, I think. I'll check it for you later.

If it's still there you can have it. I upgraded a while back.

'bout ye.
Excellent - I will pm my address when you confirm that you have one.

You may want to take a look at the thread I've linked to above....

The question as to whether it was LH or RH thread was covered at length.......It is a RH thread, clockwise to tighten, anti clockwise to loosen!

Surprise, surprise, It was exactly where I thought it was.

It's righty tighty .

IIRC I had to use a new one every time I changed the blade.
