Changeable Blades
Grasp the handle and, with your thumbs, press upwards on the underside of the Quick-Lock mechanism, continue pressing upward on the machanism until the blade and `bow tie` are exposed. The blade or tool can be removed from the `bow tie` and a new blade or tool seated onto the `bow tie` (when seating the blade or tool onto the `bow tie,` make sure to guide it into place, top edge first, if you attempt to start with the bottom edge of the blade or tool the quick-lock mechanism may not return to its down position). Complete the task by returning the mechanism to its closed (down) postion as shown by the red arrow.
It is normal for a slight gap to be visible from the under side on the quick-lock mechanism between the blade and the handle, exposing part of the `bow tie`.
