3.To install a blade, twist the collar in the direction of the arrow while inserting the blade into the clamp until the tang butts against the collar.
Depending on the job, the blade may be inserted with the teeth facing upward or downward.
4.Release the collar and the spring loaded mechanism will clamp the blade firmly in place.
5.Twist the collar in the opposite direction of the arrow to ensure that the blade is locked into the clamp.
6.Tug on blade to make sure it is securely locked in place.
7.To remove a blade, twist the collar in the direction of the arrow while pulling on the blade. Be careful when handling hot blades.
Removing Broken Blades from the Quik- Lok® Blade Clamp
1.Remove battery pack.
2.Broken blades can be removed by the following methods.
•Point the tool downward, twist the collar, and shake the tool up and down (DO NOT turn on the tool while your fingers are holding the blade clamp open). The shank of the broken blade should drop out of the clamp.
•If shaking the tool doesn't work...
In most cases, a corner of the broken blade will extend beyond the blade clamp. Twist the collar and pull the broken blade out of the clamp by this corner.
•If the broken stub doesn't extend far enough to be grabbed by its corner, use a thin blade with small teeth (such as a metal cutting blade) to hook the blade that is jammed in the clamp while twist- ing the collar and pull it out.
