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.

Blade Clamp Maintenance
• Periodically clean dust and debris from the Quik-Lok
blade clamp with dry compressed air.
• If the collar resists twisting, twist it back and forth to
shake debris loose.
• Periodically lubricate Quik-Lok
dry lubricant such as graphite.
Removing Broken Blades from the
Quik-Lok
WARNING! Remove battery to avoid starting the
tool when removing blades. Broken blades can be
removed by the following methods.
• 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. Simply 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.
To reduce the risk of injury, be sure
WARNING
the blade always extends beyond the
shoe and workpiece throughout the stroke. Blades
may shatter if they impact the workpiece or shoe.
