Blade Installation And Removal
This jigsaw is equipped with
a
changing system for fast and easy changes of
T-shank blades. (Note: This jigsaw does not ac-
cept U-shank blades.)
If blade is not properly installed, then the blade
may unexpectedly dislodge from jigsaw when
tool is energized.
1. Pull the blade release lever (3) to the point
that the slots on the blade clamp's ring line
up with the slot in the center of the clamp
(Fig. 2 & 3).

2. To remove a previously-used blade, simply
pull it out of the blade clamp (Fig. 4).
3. Insert the saw blade (17) (teeth in cutting
direction) until it the "T" part of the blade
shank is completely inserted in to the blade
clamp (2). When inserting the saw blade, the
back of the blade must rest in the groove of
the guide roller (16) (Fig. 3).
4. When blade release lever (3) is released, it
will spring back to its closed position.
5. Verify that the blade clamp (2) has also re-
turned to its closed position (which is the
point where slots were previously).
Attaching Non-Marring Overshoe
Your tool is equipped with a protective plastic
overshoe that protects finer surfaces.
To attach, hook overshoe (13) over front of met-
al footplate (12) and snap into place at rear of
footplate (Fig. 5).
