ing a blade, choose the right type and length. Many
types of blades are available for a variety of appli-
cations: cutting metal, wood, nail-embedded wood,
scroll cutting, roughing-in, and contours.
Many lengths are also available. Choose a length
long enough to extend beyond the shoe and your
work throughout the stroke. Do not use blades less
than 3-1/2" long since they won't extend beyond
the shoe throughout the stroke.

release lever, 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

extend beyond the blade clamp. Slide up and hold
the release lever, and pull the broken blade out of
the clamp by this corner.

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 holding up
the release lever, and pull it out.
