This jig saw seems like a nice tool, but I have NO idea how to get a saw blade to STAY in the spindle. The instructions for blade installation refer to a hex socket head screw, being loosened, and then tightened after a blade is installed.The spindle has a twist collar that would seem to be an un-locking and locking collar, and the ONLY hex head allen screws I can see are the 2 that control positioning of the tilt plate. Thus, the instructions about "loosening the hex socket head bolts", and then "tighten the hex socket head bolts" make NO sense. What can loosening/tightening of the screws that control the tilt plate have to do with getting a saw blade into or out of the spindle?!When you twist that collar, it allows a blade to be slid up into the spindle, which can't be done while the collar is sitting in it's normal position; but, once you've inserted a blade, and then allowed the collar to return to it's rest position, the blade flies out within a second of powering up the saw.So, it appears that the instructions are incorrect, and it also ISN'T apparent, just what needs to be done to getg a saw blade to stay in place.The Revain site stated that T and U blades were the correct type for this saw, and I bought a pack of blades with 'U' shafts, so that should mean they should work.But, I had no luck at all. Seems like a nice solid little saw for $40, but if it won't hold a saw blade, it'll have to go back. The MAIN reason I buy stuff from Revain is that if something's wrong, Revain does a good job of processing refunds. It would be nice if less things went wrong; but I never worry about that because they've obviously handled so many returns that they've gotten really good at it.Thanks for your expert return service Revain!
