I've figured out how everything else works, but, how do I attach the blade to the circular saw? The instructions were a bit nebulous on this.
Should have a bolt in the center of the blade that loosens counterclockwise. Some have a button that locks the motor so it don't turn to take it off. When taking it off always take the battery out.

The bolt is a left hand thread. They should have given you a flat wrench for it. There is another button on the saw that will lock the shaft when you rotate the shaft into the right spot. After that, it's righty loosey, lefty tighty, and you'll have a blade installed.

The battery fed circular saw may become your new favorite thing. I have a plug in circular saw, but never use it now because the battery version is so good, lightweight and convenient.

I can see that happening... my first thought after reading the manual and trying out the bevel feature was "Picture Frames!!":)
I'll try it here shortly... first I want o upload my virgin cut with the sawzall!!!! :D
 
The Virgin Cut! :D


Moving on to something larger....

I stopped the video 'cause I thought I was about out of time with it... was able to knock over the tree and sever the little bit that was still attached.
Then I tried to cut it flush to the ground -not quite enough I'm afraid for the mower to go over. May have to hit it with the ax, or something.

WOO-HOO!!!!!:dancing::happybanana::cheers:
so glad I bought this saw. It'll be a good warm up for the chain saw, too.
 
Nice. The pruning blade will actually cut even faster than the one you have on the saw now I believe. The unfortunate things about that saw is you cant quite cut completely flush with the ground. If you really need it flush then I would work back some soil with a shovel or pick-axe to be able to get the saw lower to the ground. Or just sharpen the mower blades and let it take are of the rest lol.

On a more serious note, you could get some cheap spade bits for wood and buy some of that stump rot stuff from Lowes. You have to drill some holes in the stump and dump it in. This time next year you could probably beat it into pulp with a dull axe to make mulch out of it lol.
