My set looks fine, but snap closed/locked w/ each cut. Am I doing something wrong?

Sounds like the lock mechanism might be bent. Once it's open it should spring open and stay open until you squeeze it closed and put the lock in place to hold it closed. Are you running your hand or glove over the lock lever forcing it to close and lock when squeezing?

I got a pair of tin snips and made 4 cuts half way in the cylinder in a cross pattern. Then bent them in or out as needed with a plier. Another option is to wrap electrical tape around the cylinder. Hand press only on the edges if possible. Louvers are very soft and even a rubber mallet will seal them shut and will have to reopen them with a screwdriver or other flat edge tool.

I think you have to align your Slice machine. Sometimes it does not goes back to the initial position and next time will do that.

I believe they have lock tite on the threads. Warm it up with a heat gun or hair dryer and see if that does it.

Put in a fake combination after you close and lock it. I really never had the problem you're having, but tricking it with a fake combo is the only way I can think to arm it. Then it seems you'd need to put in the correct combo to open it. Good luck. If that doesn't work, contact the manufacturer about a fix or replace ment.

The process was in the directions. Mine said to align the dials to "tree" which would open the lock. Resetting to a word you want to use is a little complicated. If you need those directions, let me know and I'll see if I can help you.

The set I bought came with a thick-wide cutter and a thin-narrow cutter. Mostly use the thick cutter.

Hi, I suggest that you take closer look at the links screw whether is a tiny screw or split end that was being closed up which look like a screw slot. Or you treat as split pin, pick correct punching size tool and give a light hammer tap in the direct the link arrow showing to move the pin out. Hope this reply helps. Good luck!

I don't have your set but I do have 2 others. The knives have their own slot for their size. Sometimes it just means you have to switch which way you have the blade pointing.Hope that helps.

I had the same problem. I kept fiddling with the alignment of the parts - rotating and locking, etc - and I finally got it right. I was almost ready to give up though. I wish I could remember the sequence and rotation of the parts, for you.

Haha, a common problem if your not familiar. There is a metal tab that runs along the inside of the handle. Push it to the left then slowly and carefully close the blade forward and shut

I had same problem. You can take the blue bar off, and I do not believe it will affect the basic structure of the set.

Should be a blade lock...Why are you changing the blade anyways?It should be sharp and brand new.

I had the same problem, and was ready to return my set too, try this: On the "Small combs" there is a silver metal slide... pull this badk and forth to loosen them up --- they're very resistant (these hold the combs securely on the clipper) I found, if you place the blue teeth over the teeth of the andis pro clipper frist, then pull the silver slide over the back of the blade.. its hard.. . Hope this helps you.

You just move the little blade lock in the cut out on the front bottom of the knife handle. It should move easily and close easily or maybe it's defective.

Did not have that problem. The set was a gift but she says all works fine. Might check to see if you are pushing them down far or hard enough to actually lock. Good luck!

It sounds like you have a possibly defective product. The edges should be finished smoothly so you don't get cut or scraped! Hope this helps. Gina
