After watching, I took a flat head screwdriver and a hammer. Place screwdriver where blade goes. Turn flathead so it doesn't go into slot! Hit hard once or twice. Fixed!!!! Thank you for your help!
Easy as pie? No! Way easier than that. Easy as hammering the flat side of a screwdriver placed on top of shaft that the blade goes into. Tap tap. Tap tap. Working again. Thx for the tip.
Awesome thanks bro! I just squirted oil down the tip and banged on it with my channel locks, it started working again. I'm a plumber so mine seems a lot of water and dirt, I'm surprised it still works. Glad I didn't have to take it apart thanks again
That large torx nut on the side underneath the cover will turn the motor which in turn will free up the shaft, I used an impact driver with a T-40 torx driver bit
My Milwauckee M18 CSX only works for a second or two and shuts itself off. After that, the LED turns on and off 6 times with small pauses? Also, when I press the switch sometimes the diode just lights up 4 times with a short pause and the saw doesn't work? When it appears, then I have to remove and insert the battery again (to erase the error) and then the saw works again for a short time? As far as I can see, the mechanics are correct. I found the machine in the trash and saw replacement didn't work. I cleaned and lubricated the clamping head, but there is no metal support and maybe that is the reason for the failure (protection)?

The large torques bolt on the side underneath that cover will turn the motor over that’s what it’s there for so if you just take a impact driver or even just a a socket wrench with a T 40 torques driver that will turn the motor over and free the shaft it
Yesterday I repaired saw (M18 FSX) that I bought for $1. The machine was dead and the diode did not light up when I connected the battery. I didn't believe that the light emitting diode had anything to do with the operation of the machine? The red wire from the LED was broken, and the white one had damaged insulation. I fixed the problem and the saw works like new. Maybe someone else has similar malfunction symptoms and maybe my experience will help someone? Greetings from Switzerland
Just use a pice of wood on the head were you put the blade and tap it in and spray wd40 that is how i fixed mine after seen this video, Mine is working fine again.

Thanks for your video, I’m glad I watch the whole thing before I started disassembling. We just hit the end with a hammer! Thanks again!
I was thinking the same thing
My thoughts exactly), sometimes an hammer is the best solution.

Thanks! This saved me from taking the whole thing apart

What does it mean when the LED lights up 8 times (4 times fast), a total of 32 times and the machine does not work?
What does it mean when the diode lights up 8 x 3 times and the saw does not work?
Hope this will fix mine cause it's the same problem
Just use a pice of wood on the head were you put the blade and tap it in and spray wd40
that is how i fixed mine after seen this video, Mine is working fine again.
mine did the same thing. Big flat head down the middle and a knock with a hammer free’d her up. Thank god I didn’t pull it apart
my old man was using mine to cut pipes that had water in them, it rusted shut gonna try to fix it nyself.
wd 40, and a tape on the blade , don't take it apart
I just bought this saw and the pivot shoe is jammed. Im going to cut my project then return it an get the older model for $80. Less
Good stuff
you pulled that off wrong, it wiggles straight off only a small screwdriver to get boot over blade lock mech
Mine had a lot more greese in the gears
We have broken quick-lok
"and...there's this giant nut"
Points at bolt....
