Introduction

By following this guide, you will be able to replace the lever assembly of your oscillating multi-tool. The lever assembly is a gray clamp that holds blades and other attachments to the oscillating multi-tool.

If the blades of your oscillating multi-tool are not staying firmly attached to the tool, it might be due to a faulty lever assembly. Other solutions for blade and accessory problems can be found here.

Before beginning this guide, make sure the battery of the tool is taken off, you do not want any power source connected to the device while working on this replacement!
