*before attempting to remove the blade, be sure the power source is either unplugged (if corded) or removed (if battery). If this is a latch style reciprocating saw, after disengaging the latch, give the end of the blade a few sharp taps with a mallet or hammer. then attempt to remove the blade by gloved hand, or adjustable pliers. if the blade is at all damaged during this process, throw it away and use a new blade next time. The blade housing may need to be blown out with some compressed air and the latch mechanism may need some lubricant. Hope this help!
SOURCE: Blade won't lock.
There is a ball lock in it and you have to twist the ball lock but if the ball lock is frozen generally WD40 will help unfreeze it and work it until the ball is free and should work just fine.

oohh, that a tough one. you gotta, very carefully peal back the hand gaurd, the rubber where you hold onto it, at. Then releas the screws undeneath. Seems like you should be able to cycle the saw to its furthest out position, then remove the blade gaurd, uning some pliers of some sort you should be able to make the release, release.
Hope this helps

The pin is probably stuck in the blade. This happens from time to time after they get dirty. Take some WD-40 or some other type of penetrating oil and spray a little in the blade holder while working the release lever. It will probably free right up.
Point tool away from body.
2. Rotate blade clamp collar (the knurled diamond pattern knob just at the back of where the blade goes) to release position.
3. Insert blade shank from the front.
4. Rotate blade clamp collar to lock blade into position.
