what is this spring loaded attachment under the cutter knives & how do you install them properly?

The owners manual has detailed instructions concerning the setting of the blade depth. Basically the blade in pressed against the springs, the outside bolts are gently tightened, the gage is removed, then the rest of the bolts are installed and torqued.

From memory the two outside bolts are installed first in conjunction with the two blade springs on the cutter head and the knife setting jig that comes with the planer. Once the knife has been set with the gauge the two outside bolts are tightened and then the rest of the bolts are installed and tightened. The same procedure is followed for the second and third knifes, if you have a third knife. It can be a bit confusing at first but once you've done it once or twice it all falls into place.

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.

There is a yellow know on the cutter that holds the blade down. You need to loosen the knob and slide to left that will allow the handle to come up. The yellow knob is a safety feature with the unit to keep the blade down until you are ready to use it.

You use the little mechanism on the bottom of the knife. it will go to the left. its a little blackpiece of steel with ridges on it. push it to the left of the knife.

Do you have the scissor locked all the way open? The first few times I used it, it seemed open all the way, but wasn't I had to make a conscious effort to click it open. ( Same as the knife blades.) when the lock engages, it tensions the spring. Good luck

Lubricate the gears behind the blade and the blade itself where it mounts on the slicer.

The blade is a unit that simply slips over the center post. The blade are attached, not removable from the plastic that they are imbedded in. It should simply lift off the center post. If is doesn't come off easily, then you will need to contact Oster and complain. I was very unhappy with this appliance. I used it once and then donated it to a charity. Better to spend the money and buy a small Cuisinart... they actually work the way they are supposed to.

I don't know, for sure, if they are supposed to be loose but mine are and I suspect that it doesn't really natter. When a knife blade is inserted between the wheels and pressure is applied by pulling the blade through the wheels, the wheels tighten and remain stationary. Loose wheels without a blade inserted are not a problem. Loose wheels while a blade is inserted is a problem and would indicate a defective unit, in my opinion.

you have to push them all the way up into tip or they will come out. if they are still coming out after that then you need to replace the clip.you need to make sure you push on the bottom of the blade and get them all the way up in the tip

You take the removable piece and slide it into the slot of the thickness of slice you desire, then push the loaf up to the divider that you just slid in. Place your long bread knife in between the arches and saw down.

You got to push the spring loaded lock, the lock the blade all the way, I used a little gun lub. on my and it helped a great deal with closing it.

I was also perplexed by this. No, there is no missing part, the knifes just hanging in there. You need to position that compartment correctly. First i attached it upside-down and that didn't make sense at all. One side of the compartment is taller then others. Turn it so it will face the ceiling and away from cart. This way compartment will hide under the counter leaving just a small opening. That opening is very small but allows you to put knifes in and prevent them from falling through.

You are putting too much pressure on the knife. Just hold it gently and drag it thru the slots. I did the same thing at first.

It is ment to ungam the cutter blades. There is a place in the center of the bottom to insert it. Turn the wrench ether way and it should start again.

Take the wrench out of its holder and loosen up bolt holding the blade. You will have to engage the blade stop that is located on the front side of the saw. Remove the bold and blade and then to install a new blade just reverse this procedure making sure you install the blade in the correct rotation.

2 tubes and a small (Plastic Spacer) piece that you use instead of the cutting blade. Hope this helps you..
