On the lower guard there is a small hole to the side of the blade spindle, one end attaches there. On the upper guard there is a eyelet on the inside of the guard, above the blade spindle. The other end attaches there.
I hope this helps with your repair!

changing bearings Question by jim williams 08/07/2009
Your HD5510 has bearings on the armature and one on the arbor shaft. First you will need to tear the saw down so you can remove the armature from the field. Once removed you can remove the armature bearings from the armature shaft using a small bearing puller. The new bearings can then be pressed on or you can use a soft mallet to tap them on. The bearing on the arbor shaft is captive between the flange on the shaft and the shaft gear. An arbor press could be used to remove the drive gear and then the bearing could be pressed off. Assuming that you likely don't have an arbor press, you can replace the arbor assembly including the bearing with part #2610904889.
Good luck with your repair!

Review by B. Webb 01/15/2009
Love the saw but cannot find new blades in our shopping area. I purchased the saw from Sears but they do not stock the blades.
The biggest problem with this saw is finding blades. Ive been using this model on and off for 20-25 yrs. I use one till I get sick of looking for blades then switch to something else. Dandy saw, pity about the blades.

I use 5 1/2" blades with 1/2" or 5/8" (bushing) arbor sold for cordless circular saws. Readily available at big box stores in my area and everywhere online.

I love this tool,it cuts everything from wood,plastic aluminum,etc. I use it on the jobsites daily.I have to keep an eye on it because everybody loves it. I have a skill wormdrive and it is very heavy.I only use it for more rigerous jobs.Once again this is a tool that sells itself when used in front of other tradesmen,it is trully remarkable. Thank You Saul Cabral
