I damaged the cord on my DeWalt. The damage is near the saw frame and I'd like to just disconnect the cord from the unit, shorten the cord and re-attach it. However, I'm uncertain as to how to access the cord attachment point inside the saw. Can I just take off the left frame housing (the side without the motor), or will things go "flying" if I do that?

Thanks,
Jeff
