how do you change blades?

yes just unscrew the bottom of the handle and the blade guard comes off from the top completely to change the blade. it is a relatively simple mechanism.

Unscrew the bottom of the blade, the razor guard top piece comes off. Place the blade into the little grooves and screw it back down. I like this better than the butterfly method of other brands

Unscrew the bottom counter clockwise then you will see the top piece come off, insert the blade through the holes, then screw together.

Gerald,Changing blades is quite straight forward. Hold the razor in the middle of the handle and turn the knurled part of the handle shaft at the bottom until you can lift the top part of the head from the body.You will see that this mentioned top part of the head has a thread shaft that screws into the handle.Once you do this the rest is self-explanatory; nonetheless just slide the blade onto the threaded shaft, insert the blade and top head into the handle and tighten.

You twist the bottom part of the handle which unscrews the base of the blade holder from the top part, you then can just take off the top and it will leave the blade exposed. You then just pop out the old blade with a new one, and return the top back on and tighten the mechanism with the handle again

Twist the bottom of the handle, which releases the top and it comes apart. Change the blade and reassemble.

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/ .

Please check the specs for the types of blades included with the unit. I have not changed them, but from what I have read, and what I can see, the blades seem very easy to change.

Yes, the screws unscrew, and old blade lifts off and you put new blade in place and replace screws.

It is easy (I'd youtube the videos because I'm a visual learner) BUT, I would caution you when changing the blades. Obviously you wouldn't put your fingers on the part where the razors stick out. But, even the sides of the razor (the unsharpened sides) can still cut your fingers if you put pressure on them when unscrewing the head.

Well, I'm sure what you could do first is contact Wahl and see if they have a replacement blade they could send you and you could change it yourself, or contact Wahl and mail in your trimmer and have them do it for you.

I do 4 shaves then change blades. Good blades like ASTRA SP - 100 for about $10USD- are too cheap to use a dull blade.

No you do not need a tool to change the blade. There is a small lever at the front which you pull up to release or insert the blade, then you simply release the lever to lock the blade into place. Very simple and easy to use.

You can find use videos on line or read through the customer reviews on Amazon (some of which mention how to change the blades). I did not find any English instructions.

You have to take out the screw and pull it apart. You will also find your blades once you take it apart.

it works fine for me, but i guess after some uses, you need to change the blade( change to the other side or change the blade).

I never thought the blades could be replaced. If so, I would imagine they be as expensive as getting an entirely new unit.

Hi, this is Mike. I have not had too change out mine yet but did look at it. If you look at the orange cutting head you will see an orange knob type lever. You will then need to slide it all the way to the unlocked position and it has black print to designate lock and unlocked position. Once in unlocked position you will need to grab the orange circular casing that holds the blade then wiggle and pull outward at the same time and it will unsnap from the main unit. The blade and the orange housing are replaced as an assembly to protect you from being cut by the sharp blade. Once that is removed simply snap in the new blade and housing into them main unit and slide the orange lever back to the locked position and you should be good to go. Hope this helps. Thanks, Mike

The Blade changes take a few minuets, with some basic hand tools. Just make sure you have blade in the right direction or you get to do it all over again, trust me I have done it more than once. The guild adjustments are very simple, once you have the blade tracking in the center of the upper wheel, and tight, you only need to loosen the hold down nuts and run the guild bearings so the just kiss the back of the blade. Total time 10 min. max.

To get the knife blade out you simply make sure the thumb switch is pushed all the way up towards the knife blade screw. Then using your thumb you may open the blade up. The blade will lock into place if the razor blade is extended out. To replace the razor blade you push the thumb switch all the way to the other end until the razor is out as far as it will go and then press down on the little button near the end which will then release the razor blade.
