RYOBI Jigsaws don’t require any major assembly to get started. However, the blade isn’t inserted into the Jigsaw when you unbox the unit, so you’ll need to fit the blade correctly before operation.  

  • Choose the correct blade for the desired cutting application. 
  • Make sure the Jigsaw is unplugged and turned off.  
  • Make sure your ONE+ Battery has been removed or the power turned off and unplugged before making any blade replacements. 
  • Both the RJS750-G & RJS850-G feature a quick-change chuck for blade replacement, whilst the battery operated RJS18X features a front facing lever for simple switch over. 
  • Both the RJS750-G & RJS850-G have a quick-change chuck for tool free blade changes.  
  • To change blades, twist the chuck clockwise and insert the blade as far as possible then release the chuck to spring back to its resting position - this will lock the blade into place.  
  • Make sure to check the blade is aligned with the guide wheel and is straight before cutting, refer to the guide below:
