INSTALLING THE BLADE
NOTE: DO NOT use wet lubricants on the Quik-Change blade clamp.
Verify that the Quick Change blade clamp lever is tight, and
quickly returns to its closed position before connecting the
tool to the power source. If it doesn’t return, clear the
debris from the clamp. Visually inspect the blade clamp
lever regularly to ensure that it is not extended during use.
