How to remove a stuck/broken blade from Dewalt XR jigsaw
Here are photos showing how to remove a broken jigsaw blade from the DeWalt battery powered jigsaw. I had to to this after a blade broke off. Someone else broke the blade and didn’t tell me, so at first it was hard to tell that there was any of the blade even stuck in there (it was just the small t part that locks in) and I couldn’t figure out why new blades would not seat properly 😂
Finally I was able to see the broken part. It would not come out by any normal easy means so I then proceeded to remove it as shown below. I hope this helps if you find yourself in a similar situation! 👍👍
Clamp to release the blade
Thank you very much for posting this fix.
I had borrowed this jig saw from a friend and the blade got stuck. I didn’t want to become a lesson in why “you should never lend your tools” and, with your help, took out the chuck and was able to free the stuck blade and lubricate the spring mechanism.
It’s working fine, now.
I appreciate the time you took to post this. It got me out of a jam!
No problem! Thank you for commenting, hope you are having a great day!!! 👍😄
