Excellent presentation. If only other instructional videos on YT were half as good as this one it would be a blessing. Thank you.

Thank you! I purchased the saw on Amazon and many of the complaints were about installing the blade. I came here first and I had no problems.

Fantastic video! 10 second job. Sooo easy. Many people had written in on Amazon saying that it took them forever to figure it out. Many thanks.

I've owned this saw forever, and every time I try to use it, I forget what I had to do the previous time. Thanks for making this video!

Thanks for this video. It literally took me ten seconds to put the blade in! I read the reviews of how difficult the process was and so I searched KZfaq and found your video. Got the saw out this morning and put it right in.

You’ll never know how your simple instructions have helped me! I am tying to get my Christmas tree up and every guy in the house is sick so it’s all me 😂😂😂. THANK YOU

Thanks for this video how to install the saw blade to B&D Model PHS550G reciprocating saw. I have been trying for several years. This video show the Key location. The oval key was turned 90degree in my saw somehow. I used small flat head screw driver to turn the oval key while pressing the button on the back. Once the oval key turned 90 degree, the hole in the saw lined up and snapped right in. Great! I am now able to use my saw again after several years.

Thanks for this. I never would have gotten the blade on with the terribly written instructions by B & D.

Thank you so much for this video! My husband spent about 40 mins trying to figure it out, and then I spent another 30 mins! The problem was that little nob thing on the inside was turned 90 degrees, and we just didn’t realize it until I saw how it was supposed to be on your video. I was able to turn it into the right position and the blade attached perfectly! Thanks again!

Thank you!!! You saved me so much time staring at unfathomable diagrams! I did it in two seconds after watching. Appreciate your video

If the piece inside doesn’t match the blade, you can turn it with a small flat screw driver through the middle opening. Thank you for your video!

Thank you, thank you, thank you. I needed this last year and didn't think about looking for an instructional video. I thought this was broken until I viewed your video. I really really appreciate you doing your video. Again thank you very much

Your video was a lifesaver I couldn’t figure out why my blade was not going on I even tried turning the little thing inside but until I saw your video I couldn’t figure out how to do it. Thank you

Great help this video was, given an old used one with no blades, bought a 3 pack and didn’t know how to fit. Working brilliant now 👍

Thank you so much for putting this video on KZfaq! I was able to replace my blade without too much problem. That shape that’s inside was going up and down instead of sideways so I figured out I had to turn that part in order to get the blade in. Which took a screwdriver into that slot and turn in it. Bingo! Thank you again!

Thanks so much! I read the instructions and found it confusing. Your description was better than manufacturer!

Thank you, Awesome demo...worked like a charm. would never have figured it out without this video

I tried and tried to attach the blade. The instructions are unclear. This video helped me attach the blade and now it works great!!!

Wouldn't have known what to do without this video. Thank you!

Wish the instructions that came in the box were as clear. You saved me a headache and a half. Thank you! 😊

Thank you as I was having the hardest damn time getting the blade on until I saw your video, I had to push the lever and rotate it and then it popped right on . Thanks again

Thank you! The instructions with the saw were not clear at all. Much appreciated.

My unit was in the locked position with no blade in it. Could figure out how the hell to connect the blade. I saw your video and realized I needed to rotate the lock with a flathead screwdriver. It works now. Thank you

Just bought one and the instructions made no sense - and yet this is so easy! Thanks for demo'ing that.

Mystery solved! Thank you so much for posting this.

Thank you for this very helpful video. Arriving yesterday, I had my suspicions that the box my saw was in had been re-purposed, perhaps from a return by a previous owner. As I struggled with the blade installation, I thought the worst. Thanks also to Nice475, below, for the important part of how to get the locking pin back to parallel,to the bottom of the saw. Having put a lot of torque left and right on my vertical locking pin, the information, "while pressing the button on the back", was a savior.

B&D made the instructions as difficult as possible. Thanks for this clear tutorial!

Thank you, this video makes more sense than the instruction leaflet.

Thank you sooo much I’m too old 68 and I have some problems… but with your video I do !♥️♥️♥️

Thank you! Got it from Amazon and all the reviewers moaning about how bad the instructions are…well they are t that clear. Just have to Google for a tutorial and I can across yours. Excellent instruction, thank you ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

I watched a few videos before and couldn’t do it! 😂😂😂 Watched yours, did it straight the way! Thank you! ❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥

Thanks a million for the video That is a change from a previous instrument by Black& Decker to get a screwdriver and turn the screw to double-lock the blade in position. Your video is very clear thank you.

Thank you, friend! This video is still relevant in 2021. Happy Summer!

Thanks for this, I'm usually fairly perceptive with these little latches and attachments, but this one I could NOT figure out. Until watching!

Thank you for such a clear, instructional video. I was not looking forward to changing the blade, remembering how very complicated it seemed when I last did it, many moons ago. Thank you too, to Nice475, for the tip on adjusting the socket into which the blade must go, when it is out of alignment.

Thank you so much for the easy and clear instructions!

Excellent presentation. Thank you so much, I was not able to figure this out without this video.

Thank you, thank you, thank you. Clear, precise, short.

Thank you for the video It makes the installation of blade much easy

thanks from a lady who couldn't figure it out. I thought I'd gotten a broken one until I watched your video, lol

Great. This is the only tutorial on this. Thank you.

Lifesaver. Thanks for uploading!

As someone else commented, my oval shaped pin was not pointing horizontally; it was vertical. I had to take the saw apart by removing all of the screws, pushing in the black button on the other side to get it to protrude out from the metal housing, and then turn it.It took a few tries, but it now works. This was an old saw that my husband adored. He even gave it a name: Andre'. We had just bought a new one, and it came with the same defect: the pin pointed in the wrong direction. We bought online it from Home Depot, but when we brought it back to the store, even the "pros" could not figure out what was wrong. thank you so much for leading us in the right direction!

Thank you for being precise and to the point, I just watched a video and they guy doing it couldn't even get the blade on, he fastforwarded to having in it and at a pile of limbs, waste of my time. Thank you! Got it the first time after watching your video.

Thanks, you most likely saved me hours! :)

Thanks very much for posting this instructional vid - super helpful which the printed directions weren’t

The video hits the spot )) So many people on Amazon are actually talking about this one.

That was a great informative video. Thank you so much.

Thank you. That is really clearly explained!

You are awesome! Thank you for taking the time to make this video! It made a difference.

mine was turned also. your solution worked for me too. Thanks!

Thanks! Was having a hard time with this

Thank you for this video, it’s the only one I refer to each time I need to change the blade and can’t remember how. 😁

Many thanks for this video you have helped tremendously I’ve stopped ending up in a & e regards London 🇬🇧 medic 👍

You, my friend, are the bomb!

Excellent explanation. Thank you for sharing. A different video had me failing miserably

Thank you!!!!! Great instructions!

Thanks! This really helped!!

Thank you, your video is very helpful.

THANKS!!!! You made is so easy for me.

Very helpful video. Thanks so much.

Great video. Thanks for the commentS as well. I had to use a screwdriver to rotate the piece the blade fits on

Thank you your video was very helpful

Thanks, good instructions. Like as others say, instructions in manual are very vague!

Very helpful, thank you very much!

Thank you! I got the blade on. 😊

Excellent instructions,thank you very much...

Thanks man! Very helpful :)

Thanks for sharing! Great video! Safe me time and a lot of stress

Perfect presentation, helped me 💯 thank you

Most excellent demonstrations.All others should emulate you.

Dear Lord! Thank you so much because I could not understand the printed instruction diagram. Thank so much for this!!! 🙂🙂🙂🙂

You're awesome! Thank you!

Thanks for the video.. still the problem is whta do i do when that little black metal piece inside doesn't turn with the saw? or doesn't pop up & stay up? Love the saw as long as it keeps working for me!

So glad I looked at this video, the instructions seem to imply the pin has to be in the other position and I’ve spent ages trying to turn it to lock the pin in position!!

Awesome thank you! Great instructions!

If the metal piece inside does not match, just keep the release button pressed and align the piece/pin with the shape of the blade-hole.

The instructions that came with the saw are useless. Thank you so much for this!

Thanks for the helpful video

Thanks, mate! Just unboxed mine and was trying for ages. The instructions say to make sure that thing is pointing downwards, but says nothing about where the blade locks in! Was looking in totally the wrong place, would never have figured out it goes in underneath

Great video. Thank you

Thank you very much as I am a novice never had to do pruning before ....

What if the little black knob thing is faced the other direction and isn't lining up with the saw hole? I tried sticking a screw driver in there to turn it and I seemed to have pushed it farther up.

Awesome! Thank you 😀

You're my hero.

Fantastic and Brilliant very helpful video.

Thanks for you help!

Thanks so much. I had to rotate the gizmo before the blade would fit.

Thank you it helps a lot

Perfect! Thank you!

Is the blade meant to be wobbly once it's fitted?

just did it.....thanks to you!!!

what is major difference between it and Black & Decker KS890ECN Scorpion Saw ?

Easy!!! Thank you!

films128 > Black and Decker instructions. Thank you sir!

Well that shape is vertical I can't get it to move. So how do I move the shape so I can drop the blade in?

Well done...thank you

You're a lifesaver. This is so easy but their instructions are so terrible. Thank you.

Crazy how long I spent on their dumb instructions. Thank you!

Thanks bruh, gd video..
