Missing skil jigsaw set screw

Hi,

please look for the tool on ebay or call lowes and home depot to ask them to search their databases for the tool.

If all else fails, you might have to look at buying from Alibaba as it has an international reach.

Thank you.

what do you need to know how to do?

To remove blade, lift tool-less blade change cover up with index finger and thumb and
remove blade.
For use with both T or U shank jigsaw blades

with a pincet /forcep and inbetween the quick release activated , some wd40 will also help and a air-compressor

Wrong blades used, set ***** worn out threads loosening off, worn blade holder $5 to $6 at link below.

loosen it more before you put the blade in.

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.

get a nail file and sharpen the blade till you can see your face in it

You will have to take the case apart and push them into place. If you have access to a hemostat or a nice long, this pair of needle nose pliers, it will be helpful. There is possibly a screw inside that holds them in place. If so, get the smallest bottle of blue threadlocker that you can find. It's quite expensive and you only want enough to wet the screw threads. Only use blue, it's removeable. If you use red or black, you will not be able to turn the screws if the problem ever happens again.
