Thanks everyone who are answering me!! Someone said you just flip the blade to change directions? With a wrench or does it swing over?

You lift the entire snowcaster while turning around and the blade flips so that your pushing snow where you want it and the run off continues to the snow left on driveway not where you just plowed. No wrenches needed. This product is awesome I have a big driveway and literally 10 minutes I'm done plowing the snow. Using the old shovel 45 min to and hour. Once assembled your done with wrenches and sockets.

The blade just swings over. Which is great to keep all the snow going in the same direction without having to walk back and start again. I love angled snow shovels and this is the best one I have ever used!

You just pick it up at the end of your run and flip it over to go back the other direction. This is one of the best snow removal tools I have ever used. Works really great on 2 inch snos and I'm waiting for more to see how it works.

It just swings over, no wrench required. Makes it super easy to go back and forth, like on a pond for ice-hockey which is what my neighbors and I use it for.

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!

Use the same hardware as the original blade- it does not come with any. There are no directions. It is important to center the blade as the cutouts for attaching to blade holder are slightly different (than original equip.). Checking balance is helpful- a screwdriver (round) shaft will suffice in a pinch- the correct tool is a five dollar teeter balance It is a rugged blade.

Oops...I hit "enter" too soon. To install the blade, you have to retract the blade guard, pull it up and away from the blade housing as much as you can (the guard is a little flexible), then wrangle the blade in and lower the blade guard. Stupid, but true.

You really DON'T want to do that. It'll most likely require removing the blade guard and that's NOT a good thing. That being said - UNPLUG IT, remove the existing blade (and NOT the guard) and see if the bigger one fits SAFELY inside the guard. Spin it by hand while raising and lowering the guard. If you have 100% clearance, then its OK to use. The slightest rub - and the solution is to buy a new saw or another blade. Stay SAFE....

After you loxk back the blade lift up yje latch on top of the blade holder and the blade should lift out to reverse to use the other end.WARNING!These blades are very sharp!

There is a tab that you have to push out where the blade meets the handle. Simple once you know how to do it.

Have you possibly installed one of the blades upside down? Other than this, I cannot think of any other possibility.

i'm sure you can take the blade off and turn it around. if the blade will not come off you would have to reverse the motor.

It isn't exactly easy nor does it jump right out at you. To attach the blade you first put in the end closest to where your hands grip the handle. To get the outside end of blade on you lean on the cutter with the blade up and the end of the head on a stump or rock. This will close up the "C" enough to allow you get the blade onto the first indent in the end. You can also throw it in a vise to get it this far. Once you've got it that far you can just hit it very hard in the center of the blade and it will pop on all the way. Hope that helps.

Does the blade turn at all? You said it "quit" turning, so I was wondering if it stops after it has turned somewhat. Are you absolutely sure the blade is installed correctly? Was the mower doing this when you first got it? I can assume from what you wrote that the motor is running all right and the sound doesn't change when the blade stops running? The blade will stop turning if you release the bar. That is the "blade override" feature kicking in. The motor will quieten considerably when that happens. Hope this and the suggestions by others will be a help to you!

No, pretty straight-forward. I normally take the blades off for sharpening in the spring. I pull the mower deck to do it because it only takes a few minutes and it's a good time to clean and lube anyway. I damaged a blade last weekend, the right side one, and was able to change the blade without removing the deck. I'm not sure you could do the left one that way because it's harder to reach. If you are having trouble, some idiot probably used an impact wrench at 300 ft-pounds. You should just be able to hold the blade and turn the nut with a big wrench.

It is easy to change blades. Just undo the Allen bolts. I suggest getting a professional to sharpen the blade.

Place the wrench on the stud to determine the direction the direction you need to move it. Then use an old screwdriver against the saw plate to hold the blade as you apply pressure to the wrench. Pushing on the wrench should force the screwdriver shaft against the plate and stop the blade from rotating. Watch out for those saw teeth. I hope your saw works as well as mine, and that I explained this well enough.

Blade is slanted at a angle or to side to push snow off to side when pushing.... then you can flip it over to have blade angle in opposite direction... watch you tube video and you will see them flipping it over to a different angle.... Hope this helps

Hello, It looks like you just slide the blade onto the tongue of the clipper. I am assuming that the tongue that Oster is referring to on the package is the flat metal part that flips up and down when you put on or take off the clipper blade. If you have any other questions please feel free to contact me again. Thank you, Ashley

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.
