I broke my 1st blade. I unscrewed the silver screw on the blade but the blade won't come out. Suggestions?

The blades are attached to one another. You must unscrew both, pull apart, and then turn the blade 90 degrees to release it from the gyro.

First find the black button next to the handle,push it in and hold it locks the blade into place, then lossen the blade and replace the blade same way as well

UnScrew Knob on left side of slicer. Remove cover on blade (right side) and remove the 3 screws. You now can remove the blade.

Remove the blade cover, Push the button at the back to lock the blade and un-bolt. Slide the new blade in from underneath.

It sounds like you have it snapped in but not engaged. Pull the blade back without removing it. Take a close look and see if the lever on your 76 is inside the socket of the blade. You will likely see that it is not. Remove the blade. Now put it back in making sure you are sliding the socket on the back side of blade over the lever. I have quickly snapped blades in and out and immediately see it not working. It is a simple whoops/ahah thing. It will snap in even if the lever is inside the socket so it is very easy to do. No biggie. If you find it installed correctly and your number 1 blade works, but another one doesn't then the blade is either broken or not an Oster 76 compatible blade. Oster blades are made of high quality, hardened steel. I have never seen one broken but anything is possible.

It is possible that the blade is not all the way in. Mine had to be turned a little and carefully pushed in to the appropriate position. But once I got it on and tried to start it IT froze up on me. I could 't get it appear and ended up sending it back dirty. I DIDN't get another. I got a different brand. I hope you have a better experience than I did. Good luck.

Send the knife to Kyocera and they will replace the knife for free. There is a lifetime guarantee. I did this, with no problems.

To take the blade assembly out of the bottom, (cleaning, replacing, etc.) you must first undo the big silver base. It gets on tight, so this plastic wrench makes it trivial, instead of wrestling with it.

I did that too. I turned it up side down and where I saw slots I carefully pulled them out and lifted the cover off and got the blade out. After that I discovered that all I needed to do was turn the blade until it was positioned for the dots to line up and it would come out.

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.

Make sure the drive socket is installed properly. But it sounds like you need a new blade assembly. Before you buy a new one, make sure it"s attached tightly to the plastic container.

You don't and don't waste your money on new blades or battery, they never work..Try sending it back to the company with your receipt and a letter for a new free one or buy a new one.

To get the knife blade out you simply make sure the thumb switch is pushed all the way up towards the knife blade screw. Then using your thumb you may open the blade up. The blade will lock into place if the razor blade is extended out. To replace the razor blade you push the thumb switch all the way to the other end until the razor is out as far as it will go and then press down on the little button near the end which will then release the razor blade.

Mindy, Once you remove the deep cut housing from the machine it's very easy to replace the blade. You need to first take the housing out and then the blade screws in and out. You unscrew the housing to get the old blade out. Then out the new blade in and your back to crafting :)

Mine was very tight the first time I put on a new blade, after that, it was much easier. Just stick with the counter clock wise

i put a little wd40 or some spray lube under the silver clip. the clip is the only thing that holds the blades in tight. if you hold the blade by wrapping a cloth around it, then you can tap the handle against something solid to lock it in place.

I struggled with it too and gave it to my husband. He detached it easily so it isn't the blade; it was me. He thinks he might have pushed it in a little before twisting. Good luck. It really works great when it works!
