Hi, I just bought a Ryobi rec- saw... When I use it sometimes the
blade comes out of the unit and gets stock in the wood. I then have to
remove the blade and re- insert into the machine..; Has anyone had
problems like this and why is this happening? THANKS!

I had a Ryobi reciprocating saw before and I didn't realize it had an
aluminum chuck? (not sure if that's what it's called) and I over tightened
the screw and stripped out the chuck which deemed the thing useless. I guess
it didn't help that I was using it to cut through 2 layers of shingles and
half inch plywood when I did that..
