Mar 9, 2011 - Most blades either have a hole in the shank or the shank is shaped like a .... A brand new one is only about $25 and no tools for blade changes.

I suggest that because their database of instruction manuals seems to be having problems. I did find a picture of one of those saws and it appears that there are 2 hex screws that hold the blade in. it's the hex caps in FRONT of the top of the blade. Loosen those hex cap screws and the old blade should fall out.
Blade catch wears out too fast
I loved this tool when it was working but after not that much use the teeth that hold the blade under pressure no longer hold hard enough to prevent the blade from coming out. The mechanism that holds the blade has no catch hole, it uses a few serated teeth to pressure hold the blade in place. Unfortunately, once the pressure starts to lessen you can't tighten it down...
It is REALLY easy, when you know how. There is a black piece, the larger one, near blade insert...lift it and VOILA, you can insert or remove blade easily. I lost manual and spent forever trying to put blade in. Hope this helps.
This saw uses a tool-free blade change.
1. Unplug the jigsaw
2. Place your finger on the lower edge of the see through blade guard, and pull it forward until it locks up in place
3. Lift the tool-free blade change holder (bright yellow piece above the blade), and insert the blade into the slot of the tool-free blade change holder.
4. Release the tool-free blade change holder to lock the blade in place.
5. Pull down on the blade to verify that the blade is securely locked in place. The teeth of the blade should be pointing forward and down.
5. Put the blade guard back down.
You can use with both 'T' & 'U' shanked blades.
Feel free to ask me any other questions about this saw.
This may sound to simple and not mean to be funny or insulting but why can,t you just take the screw out that holds the blade in you would have to do this when ever you needed to replace or change to a different blade Idon,t know mabey im missing something that your trying to say im not sure
It happens with a Jig saw. You have to mind the direction of the force you push on the unit.
A better blade will cut easier and faster and will be less likely to bend.
ALSO: this tool has orbital. This feature makes the unit cut much faster but is much less accurate for cutting. If you need to make a really straight cut, make sure orbital is off.
check that surface plate is square with the blade.don't push too hard,or force the saw,let it cut at it's own speed,guide rather than force.a scroll saw or band saw is more accurate as you control the work piece instead of the tool.
Go to Dewaltservicenet.com and type in your model number and you can download the instruction manual for this tool with detailed instructions on how to change the blade. It is 8 pages long.
Here is a link to the instruction manual, and just under the place where it says Save These Instructions it tells you how to change the blade. http://www.dewaltservicenet.com/documents/English/Instruction%20Manual/90520882,JS515.pdf
Fitting the saw blade (figure A)
- Hold the saw blade (9) as shown, with teeth facing forward.
- Push the lever (3) downwards.
- Insert the shank of the saw blade into the blade holder (10) as far as it will go.
- Release the lever.
There is a little lever where the base of the blade fits into the holder that you depress to release the blade...You can see a picture of it in the manual.
I hope this answers your question...if so, please take a aec to rate this post...thanks.
