There's no instructions in the box, but they can be found at RSVP International website under Product Use & Care tab; http://www.rsvp-intl.com/Links/USEcareInserts/PDFs/WMCS-GRY5_GCS_instr.pdf

First remove the old wire. Twist the handle of the cheese slicer until it comes free. Remove the old wire. The slicer arm should now slide out of the end of the cutter. Place one end of the wire in the groove so that the arm will pass through the loop. Put threaded end of the handle through the other loop and the wire in the groove of the round end that the handle screws into. I placed it on the bottom part of the round object then tightened turned the handle to tighten it. Next I screwed the handle tight against the metal arm. There should be good tension on the wire so that it makes smooth and clean cuts.

Looks like Edward answered your question, the other thing I might add; make sure you have the right length of cutter

I don't know. When I tries to change the wire it was to difficult to understand. So I don't use the cheese cutter.

I just simply put one loop of the wire in the slot of the cheese cutter then slid the bottom of the metal arm through the loop until it fit in the groove of the metal arm. Then I screwed off the handle attached to the metal arm then placed the wire loop around the screw positioned the wire in the groove of the roller attached to the arm and screwed the handle back into place. Works perfect.

I've found the wires (ordered 5 spares) but, not the feet. If you do find them, please PM me. I'm getting this slicer and I'd *love* to know where to get spare parts.

I would suggest you go to the hardware store or search on Amazon for wire cutters. Don't ruin a good pair of scissors. Breaking it would leave dangerous sharp edges.

We contacted Swissmar directly. Unfortunately, we could not figure out how to replace it the wire. Good luck.

This might be hard to explain.......but here goes. The wire is looped at both ends. First unscrew the handle and loosen the set screw that holds the handle in place. Then remove that end of the wire. With the wire slack, you will be able to pull out the whole handle section of the cheese slicer at the back. Thereby removing the other looped end of the wire. Just reverse these instructions for reinstallation of the wire. I hope this helps......Russ

You need some type of squashing tool to hold the wire into the metal connector. I just used pliers.

Have not had to replace the wire yet,but it is a straight piece of wire with 90 degree bends at the end's & inserted into small brass fittings and secured into the slicer with small screws.

Maybe try your local hardware store. Take the slicer with you and find someone working in the hardware area to help you. Oh,do buy extra screws if you find them. Good luck!

My wire has not come loose so I haven't had a need to find one. However, I looked around and here's what I found. There's an amazon seller who sells this same exact slicer, but also includes a spare wire. (http://www.amazon.com/Norpro-330-Cheese-Slicer/dp/B000HMB0IM/ref=aag_m_pw_dp?ie=UTF8&m=A3IPUI0LQFAKA) You might contact them to see a) if they can sell you just the spare wire or b) if they can tell you where they get their spare wires. I also found a completely separate website that sells spare wires. (http://www.cheeseslicing.com/site/681068/page/623049) You will need to measure yours to see which one will fit; they have diagrams and pictures for all the different wires they sell. Hope this helps!

Swivel the locking lever and pop it out. It's not hard to do. Take the old blade with you to the store as there is a bewildering selection.

Hi, I'm sorry I live in Italy and I bought it to give a present to my friend, so I never seen the item, anyway it should be the old version without the replacable wire cutter edge. I hope this answer will be useful to you. Regards

An old slicer I had that was similar needed the wire replaced. I used a .016 guitar string and it worked great. It cost about $1 and was long enough to replace it 5 or 6 times.

Don- I bought the same slicer and you need to remove the blade to properly clean. Remove the lock nut for the center plate and remove, remove the sharpener, remove the 3 screws that hold the blade and the blade will come out. That make cleaning much easier. My cleaning ti,mes have gone from 30 minutes down to about 10. Use a anti bacterial whip after all the debris has been removed. do a final wipe down with a clean towel and dry when you are complete and re-assemble

Look at the bottom of the cheese slicer. There should be a slot that you can attach one end. Place the wire in the appropriate spot on the slicer's moving part. Place the other end in the handle and tighten.

This is not the best or cheapest tool for that kind of work. I have done it but it takes.a few steps. I'd strip the outer.jacket.away with.the.blade to expose the.length of wires I need to have exposed. Then I either carefully cut down through the insulation and spin the.blade to make a circumfrential cut. Then you may be able to pull the insulation off or grab the insulation with the pliers and pull it off. The other way is to shave the insulation away from the wire. Either way you'll want to be careful not to NICK the wire. To cut the wire itself you could use the pliers to bend it back and forth until the wire fatigues and breaks, or use the file and file part way through then bend it once or.twice and it will snap.
