A blade holding assembly for use in changing a blade of a rotary cutting machine includes a blade fixing element which can be selectively moved between a storage condition, wherein the blade fixing element is mounted to the machine in an unobtrusive position, and an in-use condition, wherein the blade fixing element is remounted in a position which obstructs the rotation of the blade. More specifically, in the in-use condition, the blade fixing element preferably projects through or otherwise engages the blade to prevent the blade from rotating in either direction. In accordance with the most preferred form of the invention, the blade fixing element is adapted to extend through a hole provided in the blade and is threadably attached to a retainer element carried by the rotary cutting machine to secure the blade against rotation in a hands free manner.
