Skil Flooring Saw

[Mike Wilkins]

If anyone out there has one of these saws, I have a question for you.
How do you remove the blade from the saw. I got the machine second hand without an owners manual. I have removed blades from table saws and circular saws dozens of times over the years, but I am stumped and flustered.
Thanks in advance.
