Blade replacement and care

Since the saw teeth are very sharp, we recommend that you wear gloves or wrap the blade with something (a cloth or towel or its cardboard sleeve) when replacing the blade.

Hook-Fitting (long-backed handles only)

---

All other hook-fitting blades

• To loosen the blade, protect your hand and hold the blade firmly with the teeth facing upwards
• Tap the top of the back of the handle on a firm surface until it is free of the holder
• Pull it out.
  
• To insert the blade, hook it into the spine
• Tap the bottom edge of the back of the handle on a firm surface.

• Never detach a blade by knocking the back of the blade toe in the same way as with saws with the long-backed handles, as the blade may fly out and cause serious injury.
• If the handle has an angle adjustment (H-210/240/270 folding and H-150 wood pistol) ensure that the blade is locked in the fully extended position before removal.

Screw-Fitting

Loosen the screw with coin or screwdriver, and pull the blade out from the handle.

Insert the blade, and tighten the screw to fix the blade firmly.

Pin-Fitting

• Unfasten the bolt, taking care not to misplace the washer.
• Pull out the nut.
• Remove the blade.



• Insert the replacement blade into the handle.
• Locate the nut into the handle through the hole in the blade.
• Refit the bolt and washer, and tighten according to taste.

Blade care

Proper saw blade care will improve working efficiency and extend the life of the saw blade.

Always brush off all residue from the saw blade and particularly the teeth after use.

Oil the blade, particularly if it will not be used for some time.

Wrap the blade in VCI (volatile corrosion inhibitor) paper or newspaper for storage.
