Introduction

This guide is for a Porter-Cable 20V Oscillating Multi-Tool with the model number: PCC710B.

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!

    • Place the tool on its side so the orange and white warning label barcodes are facing up.

    • The lever and battery base of the tool should point toward you.

    • Use a 5.5 mm nut driver to unscrew the Hex nut.

    • If the Hex nut is not unscrewing easily- you can use a 3 mm Hex head screwdriver to hold the other side of the screw still.

    • Pinch the lever with your fingers and pull it up and away from the tool. The lever pops right off! You can squeeze on the lever, and it will come off just as easily.

    • When replacing your new lever assembly, make sure the black torsion (the black staple-like hinge) is oriented correctly.

Conclusion

To reassemble your device, follow instruction steps 3 to 1 in reverse order.
