ASSEMBLY
CAUTION:
Always be sure that the tool is
switched off and unplugged before carrying out
any work on the tool.
Installing or removing the recipro
saw blade
CAUTION:
Always clean out all chips or for-
eign matter adhering to the blade and around the
blade clamp.
Failure to do so may cause insufficient
tightening of the blade, resulting in a serious injury.
For Model M4500
To install the blade, loosen the bolt on the blade clamp
with the hex wrench. Insert the blade between the blade
clamp and the slider so that the pin on the slider fits into
the hole in the blade shank. If the pin cannot easily fit
into the hole, remove the hex wrench from the screw
and then try again.
After the pin fits properly into the hole, tighten the screw
clockwise securely. Make sure that the blade cannot be
extracted even though you try to pull it out.

CAUTION:
If you tighten the screw without the
pin on the slider fitting properly in the hole in the blade
shank, the pin or the blade shank will be damaged.
This may cause the blade to be extracted unexpect
-
edly during operation.
To remove the blade, follow the installation procedure in reverse.
For Model M4501
To install the recipro saw blade, always make sure that
the blade clamp lever (part of the blade clamp sleeve)
is in released position
on the insulation cover before
inserting the recipro saw blade. If the blade clamp lever
is in fixed position, rotate the blade clamp lever in the
direction of the arrow so that it can be locked at the
released positon
.
