I have trouble fitting the blades into the top. I returned the item and received another one and still have the prob. Does anyone else have this prob?

Yes, I reported the same problem. But I have not thought yet how to solve it. May be, if you use some metal file and round somwhat the insertion sides of the cutters, they possibly can go easier into the handle. I have not tried it yet myself.

Unusual problem. I have many of these and they all worked well. I had to trim all the excess plastic off the sides with a very sharp knife though but then everything fit perfectly. If it doesn't fit then sounds like a mismatch of parts and you should return to supplier for a replacement.

no problems like that. blades are in the frame. if the frame fits it can't hit anything

Try several different size blade attachments. Mine worked fine. Hope that helps

yes. the problem you are experiencing is what i experienced. the trouble shooting recommended getting new blade for the machine. I did that and that did not help at all. I think it is defected. I ended up throwing mine out because i was pass warranty and i could not deal with the loud noise and intense vibrations. If yours is still under warranty, then use it.

Those blades are not correct with the handle. throw them away and get the atra II blades you normally use.

All I can say is that the blades should move end to end not back and forth/side to side. I have not had this problem/issue so I cannot say for sure what to or not to do. Good luck.

Make sure you are centered on the arbor. I had this issue as well at first, but the blade was off center.

Sometimes you get a bad blade from the factory. I have been using my father's blades and I think the older ones were made better.Which blade is giving you this problem? Is it one blade or many?Keeping the blade clean is important and don't over oil them.Hope this helps

Turn it upside dow and place your foot into the handle. push down really hard on the blade and you should here a snap and then it will be sturdier. This should solve the problem. Feel free to contact me again if you still can't get it.

I have not had this problem but could see how it might be a possible consequence of a manufacturing defect. Normally it takes a deliberate effort to move the blade lock aside, to allow closing the blade.

Also try a different blade. I only use blades in my unit and never had any problems.

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 had the same problem with mine, its just a matter of breaking it in, when I depress the blade lock, (On the back of the knife) I had to relay make sure that it was fully depressed, to release the blade, i just kept working it until it became easier. Little WD40 helped as well. I Love my SOG, its my EDC. Good Luck

nope. the blade is integrated and you would have to break it. I had that same issue.

Im no expert, but try checking out the container for cracks, take the blade out using the wrench, clean it up and put it back in.

I had no problem fitting my blade onto my saw. My Frued dado cutters were tight fitting onto the arbor when I first got them, but over time I did not have a problem. You may have to send the set back for one that fits properly.
