My DeWalt Table saw does this,and for me its cleaning with a air compressor and nozzle. I cand seem to prevent it though. I tried grease on time and it just plugged up faster. I want to try a gravite lube next. To me it seems to be a desiegn flaw and I just clean the spline thead shaft that lowers and raises the blade. So far I just settled into a maintance air spray and it seems to work well enough.
I have a RTS30 that has a problem that I am learning is quite common. The "pad" (part 0890370080400) that is under the bevel locking handle, splits and falls out. This leaves the locking handles cam loose because of excess clearance.
My guess is you are talking about a table saw. If this has a plastic handle, the D shaped hole in the handle has probably become stripped. An easy fix it to put a hose clamp (the kind that you tighten with a screwdriver) around the hub of the handwheel. You might also have to put a shim (perhaps a small screw) into the flat space in the hub to help make the fit a little tighter. I did this fix on my own saw many years ago, and the fix has lasted much longer than the original handle.
The manual is posted on line. Changing the blade does not require turning the saw over, blocks of wood or vice grips. The advice listed above is potentially damaging to your equipment.
