Eventually yes, depends on how much cutting you do, but in time you'll need me ones, they are on amazon for purchase and yes easy to do yourself. YouTube.

I don't know if replacement parts are available. At the rate I'm using the razor, it could be a year or two before I will need to replace the foil and blades. I wouldn't be surprised if they cost about the same as a new razor, so it would be a tough call whether to buy the parts or a new razor.

I've had mine about a year now and I have not needed to replace anything. I guess you could wear the blade down if you grind it on concrete a lot. It is still running strong like the day I got it.

Yes, it's as simple as just screwing down the two screws. Shouldn't take more than one minute to replace the blade.

Here is the link: Apple Peeler Pro Replacement Blade for the price, may just be more cost effective to buy a new peeler

It says they are replaceable. Try going to Gardena.comAt the bottom it says contact. Click on it and a form will pop up. For subject choose spare parts. Ask where they may be obtained and they will answer. This is the first time I have seen that they are made in the US. So, if that is true, as well as them saying replaceable, you may be in luck. Wonder if someone sharpens them of you are unable to get a new blade?

Rikon and sears sell direct replacements. I make my own out of hardboard for each blade I use because I like to have zero clearance. Rough cut it on the bandsaw, double stick tape the original to the new one to use as a template and clean it up on a large disk or stationary belt sander. I leave the double stick tape on the new insert (bottom down) and use it in the saw.If you do this, drill some 3/16" holes to aid dust collection.

If you were going to replace the blades, you might as well replace the whole thing - it is basically a ton of blades attached to a handle and some wheels, I would go with sharpening it with one of the kits they sell specifically for this kind of mower.

I actually contacted the company that sells the cutter for replacement pads. They sent me an invoice through paypal and shipped them to me. They were pretty reasonably priced. I wish they would sell me a replacement blade, but they won't ship blades.

The quick answer is "easily."Remove the old blade, line up the star pattern on the blade with the spline, and reinstall. Be sure to install with the "fingers" on the blade facing up! ☺

i am not sure, though, I have never needed to replace it. Usually the blades need to be straightened and resharpened after a harvest.

For the record, there are "instructions" inside the cardboard of the packaging, but they're mostly worthless. If you have any questions concerning blade adjustment or parts replacement, then go here: http://www.felcostore.com/maintenance

No it does come with the replacement blade. Its a whole new part number to purchase.

I assume you want to know if there are instructions with the screen and cutter replacement. I don't recall for sure, but I didn't need any. Replacing the cutter (blades) is as easy as pulling the old ones off and pressing the new ones off (they snap into place in a fairly obvious way once you remove the foil screen assembly the way you normally would to clean the blades). Replacing the screen (which is probably the part you need to replace because they are a bit delicate) is more touchy. The screens fit into the entire top (I will call it the screen assembly- the part you remove to clean the razor). I recall that I had to fiddle with it a while to figure it out but I eventually got it without need of any instructions. The replacement screens are great and extend the life of what I find to be a very good razor with one weak part (the foil screens crack and break kind of easily). I hope that helps.

While I have not needed yet to replace the blade, as one can sharpen the old blade, the link through Amazon I found is Clearing Axe - REPLACEMENT BLADE . Another web link related to the manufacturer is http://www.bahco.com/english/ .

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

Hello Lana:I do not know where you can buy replacement blades. I had lots of trouble with my mower and the company, WORX, was virtually NO help. If I were you, I'd call them and tell them your story. Maybe they will be better for you than they were for me. Turns out, they said they do not have ANY repair shops. They wanted me to ship it back to them at my cost.I hope they treat you better than they did me. Best of luck
