makita 4350 jigsaw?

Hi can any one tell me how to get the quick release back in line to accept the blade the plunger is sitting crisscross instead of paralle thanks

I have just examined my 4350 Jigsaw.

The slot that accepts the blade is always set fore & aft - it does not rotate.

A Locking collar rotates against a strong spring and exposes the full slot - when the spring's released the collar closes on the blade.

You can see it in action here...
