Any suggestions how to keep the wire and the handle tight? The handle unscrews just enough to loosen and then the wire slips out.

I have only had that happen once. My husband tightened the wire and handle and now I take special care not to turn the handle as I'm slicing the cheese. I have not had any problems since. I'm sorry I don't have any suggestions for you.

Any hardware store will have rubber grommet type o-rings that should help I have never had a problem with mine but I think that would be the easiest cheapest solution! Hope that helps.

Sorry i cannot comment, i never had an issue with that. However, how do you change the wire?

When my slicer first arrived I adjusted the handle and wire and it hasn't moved since. Maybe yours is defective? I'm not sure because I have not had this problem. Maybe they will replace it?

I had a similar problem with the stone knob coming off. I put a drop of super glue into the threaded hole and have not had a problem since. An alternative is to use a hot-melt glue gun. I have not had a wire fail except as you describe. I Scotch-taped the spare wires to the inside of the cabinet door where I store the slicer so they will be available if needed.

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.

On my sofa, the handle is hidden between the arm rest padding and the seat cushion, so the handle appearance is not an issue. There is no obvious way to remove the wire cable with its retainer ball end from the handle without destroying the handle. You can see a glint of the retainer ball in the handle if you scroll over the image. The wire & retaining ball are loose with in the handle, but I cannot see a way to pull the wire through as the other end also has a permanently attached retaining pawl.

I would try contacting the company directly. Did you try super gluing the handle back together?

Turn the locking handle 1 Turn at a time clockwise and latch it in tell it is snug, do not over tighten! If that wont work send it in, They will fix the problem....

they fixed this problem. the wire no longer sticks out of the wand where it would fray apart. now it is secured through a hole in the wand in a loop. yay!

Loosen the nut close to the handle, pliers will be needed. The tip will slide off. Do not tighten very much.

The wiring to the control runs through the already pre-assembled handle. My guess is that with some effort the handle can be removed taking care not to damage the wiring or control.

I had the same problem so my son bought stuff at Lowes I think to continue and a tool to tighten. it will loosen and sag with time. we also had to replace the lead since my dog chewed it down to the wire. it rusted and he would tangle himself all up. the new lead is longer but coiled and so far he hasn't managed to chew through it. this is a good run and much cheaper than building you own but does need a little help.

Hi Greg, no trick involved. There's a little rubber piece near on the side of the battery compartment you can push out a bit to allow the wire to go through and then close the compartment. Cheers

I used 'sticky' tape (or a small piece of velcro) and have had no problems with it's coming loose. Works great. Removing and re-installing the battery was no problem.

Didn't have that issue but I do remember having to really push and lock the handle into place. Hope that helps.

The top part if the handle comes off, you can the pull the cord to the correct length and tighten the metal bracket. Pop the top back on the handle and you are all done, super easy!

This happened to me the first time I used it. Push down on the handle and then slide the safety lock. Hope this helps.

This is part of the issue I have had from the beginning. Try turning the knob situated above the handle. It locks the unit in place if you have it seated properly. I hope that helps...

My family member hooks it up usually it's a loose wire in front that has to be reattached ...make sure u don't see anything that's stripped. Those wires have to be well tucked and protected

in this case if u open the back u will see that the wire came loose , i had the same problem ... although the wire is too short to repair .
