to ensure that the blade is locked into the clamp.

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
a dry lubricant such as graphite.
Removing broken blades from the Quik-Lok
Blade Clamp
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 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 twisting
the collar and pull it out.
