How do you remove the blade?

This is a great slicer!!! BUT you have to be extremely careful with the blade... super, super sharp!!! The blade cover must be removed first - easily done by unscrewing the knob directly behind the blade. Using a phillips screw driver, remove the three screws that hold the blade in place. Keep one hand on the blade as you do this, to prevent it from moving. This is the tricky part... you have to push the blade from behind to pop out and then carefully maneuver it out from under the edges. Never leave the blade unscrewed and unattended!!!

On my unit the 3 screws that hold the blade will not release. I have tried both directions...thinking they may be reverse thread...still no movement.Tried some penetrant...no luck.Any thoughts

There is a button near the blade, inside the handle. Its the lock. Push it and you will be able to close the blade

The blade is riveted in. Your best option is to lay the knife on a hard flat surface and give the rivet a good tap with a hammer.

Do not move the silver square clip. The blades with the hook type back are inserted and removed in similar ways. Insert the blade partly then while holding the blade strike the handle on a firm surface to seat the blade fully. To remove it hold the blade and strike the handle in the opposite direction. This is the method shown by the manufacturer on the individual blade sleeves.

There is a little wrench type tool to pry it off the base. It's very easy and you can use the handle of a spoon if you lose the wrench. To put a new blade on, you just line up the locking mechanism and press it on. The tool is really not that important, but it's handy if you're into that kind of thing.

Not so hard. First, remove the clear plastic surround. Then, look closely at the black plastic blade shroud. This shroud has a small flange around its bottom that is held in place by two 1" long curved plastic protuberances from the sides that hold it in place. wiggle it and see. These are under the protuberances that hold the clear surround you've already removed. Pinch the shroud until it springs free and remove it being careful not to cut yourself as the blade is now exposed. It seems to pinch better when turned in some positions than in others. When it comes free, remove it. Wash away. Be sure to remember how the black surround came out as you will have to get it aligned over the blade and under the protuberances when you reassemble it.

On the black part in the front just under the retractor there is a retention clip that you push and pull of the black part near the blade to get in there to remove the blade. It was kind of hard to take off the first time so you might have to put a little muscle into it. Good Luck

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 :)

there is a small piece of metal located just behind where the blade hinges and where the blade swung out from, with your thumb push the piece of metal toward the outside of the knife the blade should be free now so that you can swing it gently shut

you remove the "inner" blade cover by twisting a knob in the back and it pop right off. Then there are 3 screw you'll have to loosen and remove in order to remove the blade itself. FYI, i was able to loosen 2 of the 3 screw and the last was impossible to remove. I called the customer service to see if i can't get that fix or exchange for another and they told me you're not suppose to remove the blade (they fear you'll hurt yourself by cutting yourself removing the blade). Not for cleaning, or replacing the blade for a replacement blade in case this one get damage. So really, i brought a "defective machine" but they see it as operational.

You unscrew the bottom of the razor and put the blade in on the top. Then close the top. Which I think that's how it works.

There are two bolts that, when removed, allow the blade to be removed. As to replacing it, I must query the vendor for part number and source. Hope this helps.

You can't remove the blades. All you can do is rinse it real well & use some q-tips to get in between the blades. It's a great mincer but I don't like the way you can keep it clean.

Set the blade on the slicer to open fully so that the sharpening wheel fits behind the blade. Advance the carriage toward the blade but do not have it touch. The blade should contact the wheel in the middle of the "grit". Turn on the slider and advance the sharpener until it touches the blade. The sharpening wheel should turn. Keep the sharpener and blade in contact with medium pressure for about 10 seconds and pull sharpener back from the blade. To remove the burr on the blade, position the sharpener so that the pad is near the sharpened blade. Turn on the slicer and engage the pad by pushing the "actuator rod" to move the pad against the blade for about 5 seconds. Wash blade with damp sponge.

Lift the blade cover from the back and rinse between the blades. You can't actually remove the blade themselves.
