WHEN THE BLADE IS BROKEN
Even when the saw blade is broken and remains
inside the small slit of the blade holder, it should fall
out when the blade holder is turned and the blade is
pointed downward. If the blade fails to fall out on its
own, take it out by using the procedures described
below.
(1) If a part of the broken saw blade is sticking out of the
small slit of the blade holder, pull out the protruding
part and take the blade out.
(2) If the broken saw blade is hidden inside the small
slit, hook the broken blade using a tip of another saw
blade and take it out. (Fig. 13)
