When using cutting blade, the unit has terrible vibration, hard to even hold. Unit is new-ideas?

Also try a different blade. I only use blades in my unit and never had any problems.

Check to make sure the blade is installed properly. It's easy to get the blade just off center and that will cause a really bad vibration. Other then that, it's a 2 stroke. After using it for awhile your hands will feel funny when you stop.

Some possible explanations could be the blade is not tightened all the way, something may be bent and out of balance, or the blade has become unbalanced for some reason.

Make sure you are centered on the arbor. I had this issue as well at first, but the blade was off center.

I had the same problem when I first attached the blade....and the instructions sucked; I had to figure out how to do it myself. Vibrated so bad that I couldn't hold it. I simply took the blade off and flipped it over and reattached it and that solved it completely. It runs as smoothly and powerfully as I could want now.

I had the same thing happen. Mine are 15 months old, and I've oiled them after (nearly) every use. They just started making a bad buzzing sound, and now they won't cut at all. I think it is the plastic piece that holds the moving blade, as you describe... I will try one more, but if it breaks I may invest in a $120 true professional clipper...

Try to rotate the blade after lubricating the bound areas with WD-40 or silicon spray. If that does not work, I would sacrifice the extension cord. Use a pair of diagonal pliers to cut the cord at the point(s) where it is bound by the blade, then remove the pieces of cord. Push the bound pieces from under the blade with a screwdriver if they do not pull out easily. Again, use some lubrication.

Is it your first time using an electric shaver?its quite normal for it to 'shake or vibrate', maybe you need to tighten the screws a little bit more.

I have had mine for about one year and the vibration has always been minimal. It sounds like something is wrong but here is the customer service phone number 1-800-4-DEWALT.

Hi. The previous responses about the blade lock and/or seating the blade may be the problem. Another thought was that the blades are not the "t" type blades required for the saw. I have had no problems with my saw and really like it.

I had a similar problem with a new mower. Try pushing the start button in and holding it in until, hopefully, the blade moves.

Turn it upside dow and place your foot into the handle. push down really hard on the blade and you should here a snap and then it will be sturdier. This should solve the problem. Feel free to contact me again if you still can't get it.

I don't have that problem at all. I would say you have a faulty product and should return it for replacement. I've had no problems with the cutter at all.

Mine too Im on my second saw just for that part. Design flaw hardened medal is needed with that high stress load. Sharp blades help . Icut 2 cords a week with mine t

nope. the blade is integrated and you would have to break it. I had that same issue.

Touching the blades shouldn't destroy it, or make you need a replacement.. Are you sure you have the small pull up wire section pushed all the way in ? if not, it will not work...

I had the same problem! It vibrates out of its level selection. I simply tied a rope from the selector lever to the opposite handle. Done deal!

Yes, it has happened twice. We called and they sent us a replacement blade unit. It seems once the rubber gasket comes off, the unit is useless because the problem just re-occurs which means you have a mess on your hands when you use it. So we have a couple of useless units now just gathering dust.

Gary..sounds like the left blade may have a nick on it..maybe. Also, you might remove the blades and reinstall taking care not to allow the blade tips to touch one another. If all else fails, contact the manufacturer..regards, Roger
