Owned my BT3000 for several years now and it developed a problem that I can't ignore. The blade no longer raises and lowers. Internet searches led me to here, which led me to discover that problems with the shims and on/off switch we're not unique to me. Several conversations with Ryobi led me to getting a new switch to install (hopefully this one works as it should). I've also gleaned from posts several years ago that I missed out on a warranty to fix the shim issue and I now have to pay for that myself? To make a short story long, I ordered and received new shims, guide holder, and motor bracket. Is anyone here aware of any links that will help guide me through the disassembly/reassembly process to install these parts. I have the saw pretty much broken down but am stuck on removing the vertical shaft that raises and lowers the blade. Paid good money for the saw, it gets intermittent use, but I'd like to keep it running.
The problems with the warranty and safety concerns, well that's a story for another day.
Thanks,
