Introduction

The Ryobi ONE+ P516 reciprocating saw is a lightweight, cordless saw, designed with compact features that complete the task for any DIY projects around your home. In this replacement guide, you will learn how to disassemble the main case for the reciprocating saw. To avoid hazards, keep the tools away from mouths and always wear safety goggles while sawing.

Tools

Step 1

Using the 5mm hex key included at the base of the saw, loosen the set screw at the front of the saw.
The front guard will now slide out from the front of the saw.

Step 2

Remove the two 10mm T20 Torx screws from the front of the saw.
Pull out the front plate.

Step 3

Start at the middle of the device and begin to pry up the rubber grip.
Pull the rubber portion inside out towards the front of the saw.

Careful not to get the grip stuck on the blade release latch at the end of the saw.
