The frame is held in place by a screw which tightens into these holes.
Use a screwdriver to loosen the screw until you can move the frame back and forth freely. |

Step 3 – Adjust frame
Once the screw is loosened, you can move the frame in or out of the handle, depending on whether you want to shorten or lengthen it.
To use a 300mm blade in the saw, slide the frame out of the handle, until the screw is aligned with the second hole. |

To accommodate a 250mm blade, shorten the length of the saw by sliding the frame back into the handle until the screw is aligned with the first hole. |

Step 4 – Tighten screw
Once the screw is aligned with the hole you want, tighten the screw to stop the frame sliding. |

Step 5 – Insert blade and tighten wingnut
You can now insert the blade and tighten it by turning the wing nut in a clockwise direction.
When installing a hacksaw blade, ensure the teeth are on the outside of the frame, and are facing away from the handle. This is to ensure the hacksaw cuts on the push stroke |
