I have the same model Ryobi as you do and I had trouble at first when I switched to plain end blades. All the suggestions already given are good and I have tried most of them. When I got my FD blades from Mike I had the same trouble with the blade slipping out of the holder when I tightened the tension. I found that the best solution to the problem is to try the blade in various places in the blade holder and use the Allen wrench to tighten it. I put the bottom end in first. Eventually you will find the right spot in the holder that will hold the blade. Use that spot every time and use the wrench. I haven't had any problems since doing that.

I just ran across this forum and dropped in to see what's up. I am pretty new to scrolling and have been at it less than a month. I am still at the "practice, practice, practice" stage. I have picked up a lot of great techniques, hints and ideas from other sites and videos and hope to get more here.
