    go to the doctor and have them do it when its ready to be taken off.

    otherwise saw it off since thats what the doctor will do anyway.

    A small motorized saw should do the trick, but I wouldn't recommend that. Consult the doctor who put you in the cast. It is the doctor's responsibility to ensure your comfort and safety, so your doctor should remove it for you.

    You have to have a cast cutter (rotary vibratory saw) and a spreader. If you try to do it without the right equipment then you will likely damage your skin or worse. Let the doctor do it. If he put it own then he should take it off.

    Removing it yourself is not a good idea at all. Removing it yourself could possibly re-injure your arm or worse. I suggest going back to your doctor.

    The saws we use to cut casts off are made to NOT cut your skin. DO NOT use a saw to cut your cast off!

    Go to the DR.

    The doctor who put it on you would know when it should be taken off and you would have to go see him when the day comes. You can't take it off by yourself, and should never even try to.
