I bought one of these a couple of years ago and now for the life of me can't figure out how to put it together and the instructions were tossed a long time ago. It's the long aluminum one with the 21" blade inside the frame.

Anyone care to remind me? It's been driving me nuts for the past 2 days.

Thanks.
 
Well, the pointy parts go towards what you want to cut.... :D

Sorry, I'm not familiar with that saw. Got a pic?

Are you sure you don't have a Sven saw?

It's one of these:

I can't figure out how to get the blade to reach the holder inside the handle. I've done it before, but I can't remember.

You can email them at coghlans@coghlans.mb.ca

I haven't seen that one before. If you can, please post a photo when you have it together. They list the weight as a pound-- sound right?
 
I figured it out. The black plastic on the handle isn't just for show, it's a lever that flips up to move the pin to the hole in the blade and then down to tension the blade in place.

Thanks guys.

FWIW, this is a really good saw that weighs next to nothing, is compact, and takes standard off the shelf 21" blades.
