Need Manual for Coleman 19.2 volt jigsaw

To replace the quick release blade holder on a Ryobi jigsaw, you will need to follow these steps:

1. Unplug the jigsaw and remove the blade.
2. Turn the jigsaw over and locate the blade holder.
3. Use a Phillips head screwdriver to loosen the screws that hold the blade holder in place.
4. Once the screws are removed, you should be able to lift the blade holder out of the jigsaw.
5. Insert the new blade holder into the jigsaw, making sure that it is properly aligned with the blade clamp.
6. Secure the blade holder in place using the screws that you removed earlier.
7. Reinsert the blade into the blade holder and make sure that it is properly secured.
8. Test the jigsaw to make sure that the blade holder is properly installed and functioning as intended.

It's important to be careful when replacing the blade holder on a jigsaw, as the blade is sharp and can cause injuries if handled improperly. Make sure to use caution and follow the steps carefully to avoid accidents.

There is a clutch of videos on YouTube testing your jigsaw. I suggest you watch one that shows (briefly) a blade change - if it doesn't work like that I think you should assume your model is faulty and contact the supplier.

Quick-Change Blade Mechanism
Higher-end models, such as the Linefinder Orbital Jigsaw, feature a clamping lever to hold the saw blade. To change a blade, switch off the jigsaw, unplug it, and let the used blade cool down. Pull up the saw-blade locking lever and let the used blade fall out with a slight shake. Turn the jigsaw upside down. Hold the fresh blade with its teeth forward; insert the blade shank into the blade holder as deeply as it will go. Release the lever and wiggle the blade to confirm that it's snugly in place. For models with rollers, such as the Accu-Trak, nestle the blade against the rollers.
Clamp or Hex Screws
Loosen the pair of screws -- on the front of the mechanism of models such as the single-speed jigsaw -- a full turn counterclockwise with a flathead screwdriver, but do not remove them. The used blade will fall out. Insert the new blade fully into the clamp. Lightly tighten each screw alternately and then fully. On older models, you may find a single hex screw on the side of the blade. Loosen this enough to remove the blade, and then insert a new blade carefully so the teeth face forward. Retighten the screw.

There is a blade release that you have to push up while inserting blade. If this isn't the problem, there are many types of blades for different jigsaws. You need the one for your brand. Take an old blade with you when you purchase. Good luck

you need to lift up on the knob to loosen the spindle and remove/install the blade. To install the blade you might need to turn it some and push up and when it is straight then you need to turn the knob while holding up on it till it is snug and then push the knob down.

Please consult the online manual for your saw here, and review this article about changing the blade.
All I can say is, You're not the only one, Thank God they finally changed the design of the blade change mechanism, How could it have taken that long for a bunch of German engineers to figure that one out, and you have my sympathy for owning one of those that use neither a screwdriver nor the new quick release mechanism.
Realise to begin with that the blade goes in and slips out in a position about 45 - 90 degrees away from the position it's in when cutting. In other words, the teeth must be turned somewhat to the side of the saw to allow the blade to slip free. Before that can happen, however, you must use that ridiculous handle mechanism to loosen the lock screw that holds the blade in place. First set the orbital selection switch to III or max orbit position. This will give you a little more flex when pulling the blade free. You might also pull the blade out to a more downward position if it's up inside the saw quite a bit. Pull up on the handle as shown in the instructions and rotate counterclockwise (looking down at the top of the saw) to loosen the blade, being careful not to pull up on the handle too much when it is exactly 180 degrees from the home position, or it will come off in your hand. That is the position to reinsert it in when it comes off, then turn it a little to the side to pull up again. I don't have much use for the push upward and pull downwards advice they give, regarding the tabs on the blade itself. It seems to me they could have figured out a way to keep the handle on the saw while you pull up on it to loosen and tighten the blade in place, but I guess with patience you can get it back in and tightened up again.turning what should be a thirty second blade change into a frustrating ordeal. The older model used a special long shank flat head screwdrive, which worked fine, but everyone would lose the screwdriver or forget to bring it to the jobsite, and without it you couldn't change the blade in that one either. Once you get the blade in they work great!
Anyway, know you're not alone when you curse Bosch, and someday you can replace that little pain for an upgraded model that has a 3 point support mechanism and much better blade change mechanism, or you could go all out and buy a Festo jigsaw, that you would love for the rest of your days...
Sorry for the rant. I hope that helps. I see that you wrote about a month ago, so hopefully you managed to cut your wood by now.

I hope this information allows you to resolve this issue. If you need further assistance, please post back with a comment to this thread.
If I've managed to answer your question or solve a problem, please take just a moment to rate this post....thanks!

Use the supplied hex to loosen(not completely) two bolts accessible through the vertical slots in the plastic front plate. Push the new blade into the loosened holding plate with the smooth back edge of the blade against the back wheel. Tighten and check blade firmness before using! Wear protection, use the correct blade, run at max speed before contact, and use a supported cutting bench. Think, plan, execute, and be safe. The motor is only half the power of regular models, so take short rests, and use only for minor jobs.

Hello Aiden,

This Makita jigsaw does not use any set screw fasteners to secure the blade in the saw. It has a "tool-less" blade retainer, so all you need to do to remove (or install) the blades, is to twist the small knurled ring nearest the blade shank.

Be sure to unplug the jigsaw first and with the blade shaft fully away extended from the saw, (you can just pull it out by hand if needed) and then simply twist the round locking ring and then with your other hand, pull the blade out of the jigsaw.

I would suggest that you use a glove on the hand you're going to pull the blade out of the jigsaw with, as those blades can be very sharp with the jagged cutting edges, etc.

Here's a parts breakdown of the jigsaw, for your reference and for obtaining any replacement parts you might need in the future.

I hope you find this Very Helpful and best regards!

On the top of the Makita 4304T is a knob, (Top/Front)
This is the blade Installing Lever.

Viewing the jigsaw in the direction you would use it, the Installing Lever is turned towards the Right. Keeping it turned, you then install the jigsaw blade. Once you have the blade up in the Blade Holder, gently release the Installing Lever.
