Portercable 737 tigersaw can't keep a blade in the quick latch

Yes as long as it is capable of taking the amps. Probably use a double pole rocker switch.

Or

Contact the maker for a new switch?

May be a vent. I have dealt with vent problems on several types of equipment. If the vent gets cloogged, you end up with a vaccum break, and pump cannot pull against it.

I wish I know the whole process in installing the blade. Call a dewalt technical rep.

Its hot pressed onto the shaft its made not to come apart because if it did in use it would not be good. I use sawalls all of the time and fine if the blade snaps low you can get them out with a strong magnet if you hold it up side down and turn the collar shake it around mabey spray some WD40 in side first it may take a little doing but it beats takeing that change collar a part.

Hi, You need to turn the bolt anti-clockwise to undo and clockwise to tighten back up. Make sure you take out the battery and press in the spindle lock before you change the blade.

You are correct it requires a 6 1/2" blade. You must use a 6 1/2" blade and cannot install a larger blade.

Hi rq,

Look at the base of the blade, there is either a half twist quick disconnect or an allen screw.

Safety first: Unplug the saw.

If its the allen screw it will be located to one side of the blade. Just loosen it , pull the blade out.

The half twist ring doesa what its name implies. Twist it as far as you can (holding the saw with the bladed to the ground allows it to drop out) to free the blade.

At the base of the blade where it attaches in the saw you will see a round in shape with ridges fixture. Turn it so the slot is in line with the blade. Then you will be able to remove the blade. If the fixture does not turn, move the blade up and down while you turn the fixture.

This is a jigsaw miscatagorized as a chainsaw. Do you have a blade big enough to drop 24" tree? We don't answer jig saw questions in the chainsaw section.
