4. Setup and Installation
This section details the procedure for replacing or installing the blade clamp on your compatible BLACK+DECKER jigsaw.
- Disconnect Power: Ensure the jigsaw is unplugged from the electrical outlet.
- Remove Old Blade (if applicable): If a blade is currently installed, follow your jigsaw's manual to safely remove it.
- Access Blade Clamp Area: Depending on your specific jigsaw model, you may need to open a cover or access panel to reach the blade clamp mechanism. Refer to your jigsaw's original instruction manual for specific access procedures.
- Remove Old Blade Clamp (if applicable): Carefully remove the existing blade clamp. This typically involves unscrewing a retaining screw or releasing a locking mechanism. Note the orientation of the old clamp for correct installation of the new one.
- Install New Blade Clamp: Position the new BLACK+DECKER Blade Clamp (Model 847182) into the designated slot. Ensure it aligns correctly with the jigsaw's blade holding mechanism.
- Secure Blade Clamp: Fasten the blade clamp using the appropriate screw(s) or locking mechanism. Ensure it is tightened securely but do not overtighten. The clamp should hold firmly without excessive play.
- Insert Blade: Once the clamp is installed, insert a jigsaw blade according to your jigsaw's instructions. Ensure the blade is fully seated and locked into place by the clamp.
- Test Security: Gently pull on the blade to confirm it is securely held by the clamp. The blade should not easily dislodge.
Note: Specific steps may vary slightly depending on your jigsaw model. Always consult your jigsaw's primary instruction manual for detailed diagrams and procedures.
5. Operating Instructions
The blade clamp's primary function is to securely hold the jigsaw blade during operation. Once installed, its operation is integrated with the jigsaw's blade changing mechanism.
- Blade Insertion: To insert a blade, ensure the jigsaw is unplugged. Activate the blade release lever or mechanism on your jigsaw (if present) or loosen the retaining screw(s) on the blade clamp. Insert the blade shank fully into the clamp, ensuring the teeth face the correct direction.
- Blade Securing: Release the blade release lever or tighten the retaining screw(s) to secure the blade firmly in the clamp.
- Blade Removal: To remove a blade, unplug the jigsaw. Activate the blade release lever or loosen the retaining screw(s). Carefully pull the blade out of the clamp. Allow hot blades to cool before handling.
The blade clamp itself does not have operational controls beyond its role in securing the blade. Refer to your jigsaw's manual for general operating procedures of the tool.
6. Maintenance
Regular maintenance ensures the longevity and proper function of the blade clamp.
- Cleaning: Periodically clean the blade clamp area to remove sawdust, debris, and resin buildup. Use a dry cloth or a soft brush. Avoid using solvents that may damage plastic components or lubricants.
- Inspection: Regularly inspect the blade clamp for signs of wear, damage, or deformation. Check for loose screws or components. A worn or damaged clamp can lead to improper blade retention and unsafe operation.
- Replacement: If the blade clamp shows significant wear, damage, or fails to hold the blade securely, replace it immediately with an original BLACK+DECKER replacement part (Model 847182).
7. Troubleshooting
If you experience issues with blade retention or operation related to the blade clamp, consider the following:
- Blade Not Holding Securely:
- Ensure the blade is fully inserted into the clamp.
- Verify that the retaining screw(s) are tightened or the quick-release mechanism is fully engaged.
- Inspect the blade clamp for wear or damage. If worn, replace the clamp.
- Check if the blade shank is compatible with the clamp type (e.g., T-shank, U-shank).
- Difficulty Inserting/Removing Blade:
- Ensure the blade release mechanism is fully activated or screws are sufficiently loosened.
- Clean any debris or sawdust from the clamp area that might obstruct blade movement.
- Inspect the blade clamp for deformation or damage.
For issues not resolved by these steps, consult a qualified service technician or contact BLACK+DECKER customer support.
