Ryobi 18V One+ Pruning Saw Questions & Answers

Have just used the OPS18 Pruning Saw for the first time. Works well with the original blade, so far. The question I have concerns the Blade Release Lock. With no blade inserted it's OK, it can be rotated and springs back, but with the blade inserted the lock doesn't fully rotate back to the no-blade position, even using my fingers to try to help rotate it. Is this normal? The blade seems locked but I'm concerned all the same.
