Pivot the guide rail up; turn nut counterclockwise to remove; twist orange blade cover counterclockwise, remove & set aside; remove blade & install new; replace orange cover, nut, and swing guide rail down.

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 :)

Sorry, never changed the blade. I just tried Standley brand, but they are too thin along the back also. I never knew there were different thicknesses of blades.

Swivel the locking lever and pop it out. It's not hard to do. Take the old blade with you to the store as there is a bewildering selection.

You can find use videos on line or read through the customer reviews on Amazon (some of which mention how to change the blades). I did not find any English instructions.

The Life Hammer appears To come apart with loosening 3 screws. I would think you could change the blade once its open, However I have never tried.

I believe they are available from Amazon. I've never replaced the blade myself.

First make sure the plastic blade cover is on to prevent cutting yourself. Then grab the whole head (not just the blade) and pull it off. You will be left with the "Y" shaped arm. Then remove the blade cover from the old blade and put it on the new blade and snap it onto the "Y" shaped arm. There you go.

Move it back over to the left while closing the blade. Pretty standard on many knives.

Please check the specs for the types of blades included with the unit. I have not changed them, but from what I have read, and what I can see, the blades seem very easy to change.

There's a switch up near the ceiling that you just flip to change the blade direction.

No, the blade is fixed by a cap screw. So you need to unscrew and screw back whenever you change the blade.
