Dewalt DW788

[Michael Jiri]

Hello.  Can anyone please advise me as to what size hex wrench I need in order to remove the blade guard from my new DW788 ?

Thank you,

Michael J.

Hi Michael, Welcome to the forum! If you are talking about the lower blade guard, you will need a T-25 Torx driver. You will find Torx drivers anywhere tools are sold like Harbor Freight, Home Depot, Lowe’s or even car parts stores. Good luck!

You might even have a T25 in some bit kit you already have.
