how do i change a coping saw blade?

[.dsaavedra.]

just bought a coping saw and i cant figure out how to put a new blade on it!

[Hookemdown.]

Line up the slots for the blade, put the blade in the slots, then hold the pegs and twist the handle.

but the blade is shorter than the length of the frame.

[Hookemdown.]

untwist the peg so it can reach the blade, then hold the peg and twist the handle, which will stretch the blade straight.

ok i got it. it just took a lot of pressure to bend the frame so the blade would fit.
