Did anyone else notice there's being a bit tight ? I cnt pull the ball back and have it swing down, I have to close the blade

Not sure what you mean. I have not had any problems in opening or closing the blade. The lock is safe and secure (very strong) and when I pull back the ball/lever the blade can safely be folded.I have not felt the ball/lever to be abnormally tight nor has itchanged in feel over the time I've had it (about 4-5 months).

I got mine on ebay and also got a smaller ball. I'm hoping the answers are correct and it will stretch out. I know the ball I already had seems a lot thinner than this one. So maybe that's why.

I had no issues. My clubs were in my golf bag and I use bubble wrap as a buffer between the exposed shafts. There is an external strap which tightens to immobilize any club movement.

Yea low compression, I don't see where it would be a bad ball for a slower swing speed such as a women, they play a lot like the Bridgestone e6

It may be too tight, try loosening it a little at a time until you can lock it place.

I had the same issue. There is a catch in the handle of the knife. The catch is in the underside of the handle directly "facing" the sharp edge of the blade. Push it to the side and the blade goes back into the handle.

Well it is supposed to be tight, but good luck trying to tighten it. If you just got this saw I would return it. I am a shop teacher and bought two of these for my middle school class. I have never seen a more terribly built saw. I returned both for partial credit.

I am no expert by any stretch. I have not had that problem. I'd check to make sure the knives are in tight,that they are square and parallel and don't taper down. I wish I could be of more help to you. I have found the technical support at Grizzly to be very good. Your belt is tensioned correctly ? Good luck and if you can let me know if and how you got it taken care of. Steve

Mine was not tight. Been using it multiple times daily have not had a problem in over a year. Good luck -I love it.

Mine was real tight as well I removed the corner securing bolt inserted the end into the canopy the re-attached the bolt after that it seemed to stretch itself out

Very carefully, really when you push the locking mechanism to the side I just close the blade slightly to keep the lock out of the way then with other hand close the blade. I'm sure you are doing the same. They should have a design with a button on the outside.

Hmm, I didn't have that problem. It does need to be facing the right direction, but I assume you've thought of that. I sometimes have to give it a good push to get it clipped in. But I find it more difficult to get it unclipped. Are you having a problem with both sides? Might want to see if you can get your swing exchanged.

Never had this problem. I'd check to make sure blade is engaged and take battery out & put it back in. May have just jiggled loose.

Haha, a common problem if your not familiar. There is a metal tab that runs along the inside of the handle. Push it to the left then slowly and carefully close the blade forward and shut

I know exactly what your talking about. Mine kinda did the same thing. Try rotating the knuckle the full 180 degress a few times and it should loosen a little bit. I think it will always feel a little stiff.

As far as I can tell from using mine you have to hit something. You might be able to fit something other than a real ball but the capture triggers on an impact. When doing practices swings I do occasional hit the ground harder and it triggers. You might be more consistent with that than I am.

I don't think you have it pushed in all the way- it took me a while to figure out that unless there is a little "Click", the blade is not as far in as it needs to be for safety and stability. Makes it really hard to take it out-strong fingers needed but that's how it has to be. And this applies to all the blades. They click into place and once they have clicked, you can slice like crazy without any problems. Are you loving your slicer? We have been camping in a rental for a year and just moved into our "forever" home last weekend and have really missed our slicer. It will be a while before we unpack it but that will make the reunion all the better, I think.
