The Dewalt brand is famous for its durability and portability. Dewalt offers a wide range of reciprocating saws that can be powered by either electricity or a rechargeable battery pack. Reciprocating saws are commonly used in demolition work. The blades of these saws move up and down in a reciprocating motion. Due to the heavy-duty nature of their work, it is important to regularly replace the blade of your Dewalt reciprocating saw.
Step 1
If your Dewalt reciprocating saw is electric-powered, unplug it. If it is battery-operated, remove the battery pack.
Step 2
Purchase the appropriate blades for your specific model of Dewalt reciprocating saw. You can do this by matching your saw’s model number to the models listed on the packaging of the replacement blades. It is crucial to use the correct size blade for your saw to ensure safety and to prevent any potential damage to the saw.
Step 3
Place your Dewalt reciprocating saw flat on a workbench with its side facing up. Hold it firmly with one hand.
Step 4
Insert the Allen wrench into the hex nut located at the base of the blade housing. Turn it counterclockwise to loosen the nut. Continue loosening the nut until it can be completely removed.
Step 5
Remove the old blade. If it is stuck, apply some liquid-spray lubricant to the lock area and gently move the blade back and forth. Use a pair of pliers if needed to pull the blade out.
Step 6
Insert the new blade, ensuring that the blade is facing up, into the blade housing.
Step 7
Secure the blade by replacing and tightening the hex nut with the Allen wrench.
