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...
I have the blades and the 7588 jigsaw. thinking about selling on ebay. search for black & decker jigsaw w/ blades in next couple days if interested in buying saw with 6 blades. thankyou, makthriftsales
Just pull up on that rectangle shaped black piece on the top of the blade. Then pull the blade out. You can use both type blades in this model. take care and good luck.
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.
