Step 1 – Disconnect the saw
First, unplug the saw from its power source. Turn the saw off if it isn’t already on. Next, disconnect it from any dust collection systems, such as a shop vacuum. If you are using a cordless model such as the RIDGID 18V Lithium Ion Cordless Recrocating Saw (model R8200), then remove the battery pack before proceeding to step 2.
Step 2 – Remove Blade Guard/Retainer
After you have completely disconnected the tool, remove any blades that are still inside it. Manufacturers recommend that you hold the trigger down as you take out an active blade.
Step 3 – Loosen and remove the saw blade
You will need to hold the saw blade in place with a pair of scissors while you remove the hex key. Once the screw is loose enough for you to turn it by hand, simply pull the blade out of the holder.
Step 4 – Install a New Saw Blade
Place a new saw blade in its proper place with the teeth facing the indicated direction on the blade housing. If this is not possible, you can feed the blades through the underside of the housing and push them into their correct positions with your fingers. Next, use a hex key to tighten the screw that holds each blade in place.
Finally, attach the blade guard/retainer again and check that your blade is working properly. This blog post should have helped you to understand how to change a reciprocating blade.

Tips And Tricks:
- If you have trouble inserting your new blade, try feeding it through the underside first and then pushing it into place with your fingers.
- For correct placement, ensure that you only insert the blade as far as is necessary before tightening the screws. Each screw holds the blade in place using a hex key/Allen wrench. You could damage your saw if you push it too far.
- Be sure to replace any damaged or nicked blades. This can cause dangerous kickback and drag when the blade strikes the material being cut.
Safety Considerations
- Before you begin, make sure to turn off the saw and disconnect the dust suction device.
- Make sure the replacement blade’s teeth point in the direction indicated on its housing.
- Before tightening the screw, measure from the tip of your tooth to the top of your guide bar.
- For older models, use a hex key and an Allen wrench.
- Do not replace damaged or nicking blades. They can cause dangerous kickback and drag when they strike material being cut.
