fatfingers Posted July 7, 2008 Report Share Posted July 7, 2008 (edited) On mine, you only need hold the frame and unscrew the handle to take the tension off the blade. Then remove and replace the blade. Try that on yours maybe? Edited July 7, 2008 by fatfingers Stupid typing errors Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
.dsaavedra. Posted July 7, 2008 Author Report Share Posted July 7, 2008 well, to remove the blade, all you have to do is hold the little tab that is closest to the handle, and then twist the handle off. but the blades are shorter than the frame is, so to put them on you have to secure the blade in one end of the frame and then push down on the frame to bend it so the blade can reach the other end of the frame. then secure and tighten handle. i guess they did this so the blade would be under a lot of tension so it doesnt move a lot.
