Give model number(s). ******* The blade rotates and locks. The blade has a circular hole in the very end, implying that is the "pivot". In order to lock, an axle of some sort has to go through that hole and prevent the blade from falling out. Which means the axle has to "advance" as the blade is rotated. These are not the same kind of blades that fit into conventional jigsaws, with the square-end on them that a screw presses on. The purpose of getting a model number, is to see if there are any pictures of the "mechanism" that holds the blade. It may be a replaceable part, and then a picture of it might reveal how it works. Like if someone took the saw apart and messed with it... it could be out-of-sequence and the part that does the locking is not engaged. Paul |

Is this the blade clamp ? £5.99 https://i.postimg.cc/Qt2nj6Nt/blade-clamp.gif I don't see how the release button fits into that picture, unless the locking action comes from another piece. That gap in the metal, is probably what's intended as a guide, when the blade is rotated into place. If that metal snaps off, you've got nothing. I have one B&D dealer here, who are pretty good on parts. Usually there's one person in the shop, who knows how this stuff works. There was also a "clueless" assistant, who couldn't find any carbon brushes for lawnmowers. But the shop operator sent her off, and then fixed me up. A shop full of wummins Jim, you'd like it :-) I only needed to replace one brush, which had twice as much wear as the other brush (bought two brushes, used one). Brushes used to be the bane of B&D kit (dead whipper-snippers by the truckload). Paul |
