1. Depending on the job, the blade may be inserted with the
teeth facing up or down. To install a blade, twist collar in the
direction of the arrow while inserting the blade into the
clamp until the tang butts against the collar.
2. Release collar and the spring loaded mechanism will clamp
the blade firmly in place.
3. Twist collar in the opposite direction of the arrow to ensure
that the blade is locked into the clamp.
4. Tug on blade to make sure it is securely locked in place.
5. To remove a blade, twist collar in the direction of the
arrow while pulling on the blade. Be careful when handling
hot blades.
Quik-Lok® Blade Clamp Maintenance
Periodically clean dust and debris from the Quik-Lok®
Blade Clamp with dry compressed air.
If the collar resists twisting, twist the collar back and
forth to shake debris loose.
Periodically lubricate Quik-Lok® Blade Clamp with a dry
lubricant such as graphite.
Removing broken blades from the
Quik-Lok® Blade Clamp
Unplug the tool before removing blades. 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 the tool on while your fin-
gers are holding the blade clamp open). The shank of the bro-
ken 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.
Simply 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

Adjustable Pivot Shoe (Fig. 4)
The shoe can be adjusted forward or backward to three posi-
tions to take advantage of the unused portion of the blade or
for special jobs requiring low blade clearance.
1. To adjust the shoe, pull the shoe release lever down 1/4
turn and slide the shoe forward or backward to the desired
position.
2. To lock shoe in position, push the shoe release lever up.
3. After adjusting the shoe, slowly pull the trigger to be sure
the blade always extends beyond the shoe and your work
throughout the stroke.
DO NOT OPERATE SAWZALL WITHOUT SHOE.
STRIKING THE SPINDLE AGAINST WORK MAY
DAMAGE THE RECIPROCATING MECHANISM.
WARNING!
To reduce the risk of injury, be sure the blade
always extends beyond the shoe and work
throughout the stroke. Blades may shatter if
they impact the work or shoe (Fig 5).
