Before installing the jig saw blade, make sure that the
blade clamp lever is in the released position.
To install the jig saw blade, insert the jig saw blade
(teeth facing forward) into the jig saw blade holder. The
blade clamp lever moves to the fixed position and the
jig saw blade is locked. Make sure that the back edge
of the jig saw blade fits into the roller. Pull the jig saw
blade lightly to make sure that the jig saw blade does
not fall off during operation.

CAUTION:
If the blade clamp lever does not
move to the fixed position, the jig saw blade is
not installed completely. Do not press the blade
clamp lever by hand to the fixed position. It may
damage the tool.
To remove the jig saw blade, push the blade clamp lever
forward as far as it will go. This allows the jig saw blade
to be released.

NOTE: Occasionally lubricate the roller.
