How to Change Dewalt Reciprocating Saw Blades

Editorial Summary

The creator demonstrates the process for changing a blade on a DeWalt DW333 heavy-duty reciprocating saw. This specific tool is a corded, variable speed model that the creator has used for approximately five years. The demonstration begins with a safety instruction to unplug the saw before attempting any maintenance. The creator explains the physical characteristics of the blades, noting that they feature a hole on the left-hand side for the screw to pass through. To facilitate the change, a 3/16 allen wrench is required to loosen the screw. The creator recommends loosening the screw toward the left while leaving it in place for a few turns to prevent it from falling out completely. Once the old blade is removed, the new blade is inserted into the slot, ensuring the hole in the blade aligns with the screw. The process concludes by tightening the screw toward the right until it is snug.
