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

Removing broken blades from the Quik-
Lok
®
Blade Clamp
Broken blades can be removed by the fol-
lowing methods.
• 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 fi ngers
are holding the blade clamp open). The
shank of the broken 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. 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
metal cutting blade) to hook the blade
that is jammed in the clamp while twist-
ing the collar and pull it out.
Installing and Removing Blades from the
Quik-Lok
®
Blade Clamp
Remove battery pack before changing
blades. Make sure the spindle and blade
clamp areas are clean. Metal chips and
sawdust may prevent the Quik-Lok
®
Blade
Clamp from clamping securely.
