Return the whole thing, and purchase Mini Cricut instead. That's what I did.

email the maker of the knife/ send the knife to the maker for replacement, but get their ok before you send it, hope this helps.

You are supposed to turn the blade, but it gets stuck. The whole thing does not work - don't buy it. I returned the one I got.

I've found I can get it to stop by tightening the nut on the bottom that holds the blade mechanism in place. It's a temporary fix.

Move it back and forth while pulling it out, be careful not to cut yourself tho. The blade is VERY sharp!

If a knife blade sticks out, just angle it instead of having it stick straight up. Then the blade will not be above the top of the base.

Wish I could help, but I too, purchased a blade that would not cut. Lucky for me, that I bought two of them, the other cut just fine. But the one that didn't work, it was like it didn't have an edge on it. Perhaps it didn't. I tried and tried to use it, then finally gave up and put the other blade in and it cut through with ease, like a knife cutting through soft butter. I suggest you return that blade for another.

There should be a wrench that came with it, usually slide into the back of the saw, there is a holder for it there, make sure the saw is unplugged and unscrew the bolt in the center, using something like a piece of wood to keep the blade from rotating while unscrewing the bolt

Be sure the clutch is totally engaged in the out position. If the blade is not turning that is your problem.

It may be freezing up. I only put 2 scoops of ice in at a time. When that has been crushed, I put I. 2 more scoops.Also, don't push the ice down. That causes the blade to get packed with ice.

When you pull the blade out, it locks. If you're holding the back of the knife away from you (blade in your left hand), the lock is at the base of the blade. You push that down and slowly close the knife. If that doesn't work, you may have a defective knife. Hope that helps!

Im no expert, but try checking out the container for cracks, take the blade out using the wrench, clean it up and put it back in.

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.

There is a small metal lock where the blade goes that locks into position when you open the blade. You must move it out of the way yup close the blade.

Try a stainless steel pad, very gently. I cut mine down and did not have that problem.

Hi! Yes I found that out too when I got it!! Just pull one of the blades out toward u like the round end of the blade. Do it slowly.

there is lever up near the front on the lift hand side. lift it put as far and it will let go and then it releases the blade.
