A carrier is positioned for powered sliding movement axially along the saw assembly from a position under the arbor to a position free of the arbor. The carrier includes holders that are raised into position for holding the saw assembly and through powered axial movement of the carrier, for removing the saw assembly from the arbor. Upon removal, the saw assembly is lifted from the carrier and a replacement saw assembly is mounted on the carrier for placement onto the arbor.
