mechanism will clamp the blade firmly in
place (Fig. 4).

of the arrow to ensure that the blade is

REMOVING A BLADE
To remove a blade, twist collar in the
direction of the arrow while pulling on
the blade. Be careful when handling hot
blades.
REMOVING BROKEN BLADES
Broken blades can be removed by the
following:
› Remove battery pack before removing
blades.
› Point the tool downward, twist the collar,
and shake the tool up and down (DO NOT
turn the tool on 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 does not 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 does not 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 twisting the
collar and pull it out.
