If you go to sears parts direct and type in your model # you'll get the parts list and exploded views.......

When I go there I see the UNIT exploded view shows a removable cover/trim....two screws..... facing the rear wall.....the power cord/strain relief appear to pass thru this cover....top ?

On this same page to the RIGHT...."Manage".....Click It ....register and yadayada get the PDF manual .....(page 37)

"......measure Once.....cut Twice....

throw that one away and cut a new one...."

The power cord does enter the rear of the saw but exits into a hollow area outside of the arm. It then enters the middle of the arm a few inches from the rear and includes the curly cord that goes to the motor. I need to remove the trim assembly, #9 and #10 in the manual diagram. I can't find any attachments, bolts, screws or the such which holds it down. I tried to pry it off but it just bends.

any suggestions??

I don't own the saw .....But after reviewing the exploded view again......

......Remove the front-arm-trim pieces(#20-21-22-23)

.....and Then SLIDE the top cover #9 forward off of the arm......then lift #10..........

"......measure Once.....cut Twice....

throw that one away and cut a new one...."
