Open/Close Switch and Blade Release
Use the open/close switch to open or close the
blade, make a cut, remove the blade from a partial
cut, and release the blade from a tightly closed
position.
• To open the blade, move the open/close switch
to Open .
• To close the blade, move the open/close switch
to Close .
Use the blade release to open or close the
blade when the battery pack has no power
or has been removed from the tool. The blade release
trigger will not usually remove the blade from a par- tial cut or open the blade from a tight close.
• To open the blade, pull the blade release trigger.
The blade quickly moves to the open position. If the
blade over-travels in the closed position (tight close)
and a ratchetting sound is heard, the blade release
may not open the blade. Use the open/close switch
to open the blade. When the blade is tightly closed,
excessive force on the blade release trigger may
damage the mechanism.
• To close the blade, pull and hold the blade release
trigger. Press down on the blunt back edge of the
blade until it is fully closed. Release the blade
release trigger.
