how do you remove the blade? Tried pulling and twisting but don't want to risk breaking the post

Hold the white or gray part, turn a little to release the whole thing from the small locking post on the bottom, then just lift the whole thing out.

On mine, he blade carrier just easily lifts up...you might have some sticky substance under the blade carrier that is acting like glue. I would try a steady upward pull; too much twisting might break the post.

Push down on the metal part with the ridges. That's what holds the blade in place when you open it. It's on the side with the clip.

Hi! I finally got the blade off my can opener! There is a little lever that says "blade release" that needed to be pushed down, but, I kept moving the handle either too much or not enough while I pulled on it, but, finally, it popped off. Now if I can only remember how I did it for thenext time!! :) Thank you all.

To take out the blade you simply pull the blade/component you want out. To unlock it/fold it back in, press down on the flat piece of metal right below the circular hinge (it actually has a very small picture of an opened lock on it) - this will release the lock on the blade and allow you to fold it back in. I hope this helps! :)

Use a scissors and pry it out. Be careful not to cut yourself. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JDr7-7NAblY

From what I've read, the blade is not removable. I have no experience trying to remove the blade though.

As I recall it was tricky getting that blade in because something was obstructing it, but I can't remember what. I got it in after a few minutes of fiddling around though so if you don't have it in by now send me an email and I'll take the blade off and see what I have to do to put it back in john.hawley@wright.edu.

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.

There is a lock release 3/4" of the way up the poll on the outside pole. Simply pull on the flip handle and pull on the inside pole. Make sure and return the flip lock to it's lock posision (down). I love this tool. Another problem here is the black belt can get turned around the poll and make it hard to pull the cutter shut or open. Un tangle the belt so it slides in the track provided. Hope this helps

You do just pull. I rotated mine first...like if you were unscrewing it...then gently but firmly pulled holding the black part closest to the main body. It was snug but still didn't take a whole lot to free it. Hope this helps.

There is a tiny switch behind the push bar to close it, That's a lock. Slide that little switch back towards the rear of the knife. the blade is probably locked

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

I had the same problem, but I put a thick towel over the top of the post and took a short mallet to it. you could do the same thing with a hammer. (lightly tap with pressure, lol dont go beating it up.)

I don't know if Amazon will let me post a photo from Flickr, but here it is: http://www.flickr.com/photos/13263609@N00/9819119675/ That said, place the Slice on a surface with the cutting end pointing west, per se. Holding the main body, push down on the release (which is about an inch from the cutting end) and gently push the cowl away. You should see the blade. Remove the old one and place the new one so the notch lines up. It won't look right at first (you'll think the blade should be protruding over the end but that's where it goes. Replace the cowl/cover and bob's your uncle. FWIW, there's also spare blade storage in the handle, but I found that it popped open every time the Slice fell, so I just store the spare blades in my desk.

pull up on the y shaped peeling arm & hold to release the blade, you kinda have to wiggle it side to side & it pops off

It took me a little while to figure out too. Just PULL, don't twist. I had to use something to pry it out the first time because it was set in pretty tight.
