I've had them stick too. I would shoot a generous amount of WD40 or other lubricants into the moving parts of the blade bit and work it till it frees up the mechanism.

SOURCE: Milwaukee Sawsal Broken blade

Spay inside where blade fits in with PB BLASTER & let set a while. Maybe you will get lucky & the blade will fall out as it should. If not then it will have to be dissembled in this area. There are 2 BB's inside that fit into the small hole on the blade. They are forced in by a spring, be careful not to lose these. Also check the accuatator when you pull the finger release, make sure it is going all the way or it is not broken, Good luck.

SOURCE: I have a milwaukee jig saw, 6268-21 that I cannot load blades.

Yes the Milwaukee 6268-21 does require the use of certain jigsaw blades. You have to use T-shank type blades. You push the tension lever hold it while putting the blade in as far as it will go, then you release the tension lever slowly and it will engage the blade. You should then check by pulling on the blade to make sure it is seated properly and will not come out.

SOURCE: How to lock the jigsaw blade to make straight cuts on my Boschest 1587svs?

Use a straight edge guide. Clamp it on the work so the jigsaw can run against it. Be patient and go very slowly.

Testimonial: "Thank you for taking the time to trying solve my problem, however, I defiantly can't clamp a straight edge to everything I try to cut with the jig saw, many times it's simply not possible or practical such as in when I'm cutting a section out of a boat's floor."

How to replace quick release blade holder on Ryobi 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.

Why does my blade not sit straight on my Milwaukee jigsaw

First, with the power cord unplugged, check the squareness of the blade to the saw with a square, adjust the 'foot' of the saw (the part that sits flat on whatever you are cutting) to be 90 degree with the blade. To do this, usually on the back of the saw there will be a nut or a screw that holds the foot in place. Loosen it, and move the foot until the blade and the foot both touch the square along the entire surface of the blade and the saw 'foot' and retighten the foot. Many jigsaws have this problem.

Ks656pe how do i change the blade? i don't have any instruction. Please

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.

the bearing is on a cam bolt to adjust for various width blade thickness
