Replacement blade indicator - the manual says to press the on/off button for 30 seconds to "delete" the indicator light but it's still on. Help!

I'd contact the company and don't give up until you talk to someone who can help you: supervisor, etc.

I never had the replacement light come on. After about 18 months I replaced the blade just because I thought I needed to. Hopes this helps.

My husband said to press the tiny buttons at the bottom of the handle. That should eject the old cartridge. Then just press the handle into a new blade cartridge and it should snap on. Hope that answers the question!

Disconnect the wires from the battery and short them together. That will keep the blades from turning. REPEAT...Disconnect from battery FIRST!

I had the same problem when I first attached the blade....and the instructions sucked; I had to figure out how to do it myself. Vibrated so bad that I couldn't hold it. I simply took the blade off and flipped it over and reattached it and that solved it completely. It runs as smoothly and powerfully as I could want now.

I don't know. I haven't had to sharpen or replace blade yet. It looks like it's just 2 standard razor blades. I was assuming you just replace when it gets dull.

Just touching it doesn't damage it. It has to be cleaned every week by two wiping with water, as is described in the owners manual. You may be experiencing an inherent engineering defect with the unit where it goes from On (Blue LED) to Clean (Red LED). I had to go through 4 units with Amazon (they have a great return policy) to get one that works. I have told Amazon and the TA500 company many times of this engineering defect. The company has replaced several too. You can order more blades from the phone number in the manual. They were $29.95 plus shipping.

I'm sure you can. I just got my light replaced because it didn't work. Call Minka help desk at 800-307-3267 and they can confirm about replacing a blade.

There are two bolts that, when removed, allow the blade to be removed. As to replacing it, I must query the vendor for part number and source. Hope this helps.

A couple of things you might try....Make sure the blade is centered on the top guide as it should be and that the blade tension is correct...Mine had to be adjusted when I first started it, (as per the owners manual)....Make sure the clutch is moving to the lower speed setting (I'm assuming you do not have the variable speed clutch) When changing the clutch setting, make sure you turn the knob clockwise prior to engaging, (as per the owners manual), to make sure it engages at the lower speed setting...Took me awhile to figure this out.... Hope this helps...

After reading your post I did the same... minus the dremel tool though. I just hacked away at it with an exacto knife. Works great. Can't feel the sensor. Saved myself $100 too!

It sounds like you have it snapped in but not engaged. Pull the blade back without removing it. Take a close look and see if the lever on your 76 is inside the socket of the blade. You will likely see that it is not. Remove the blade. Now put it back in making sure you are sliding the socket on the back side of blade over the lever. I have quickly snapped blades in and out and immediately see it not working. It is a simple whoops/ahah thing. It will snap in even if the lever is inside the socket so it is very easy to do. No biggie. If you find it installed correctly and your number 1 blade works, but another one doesn't then the blade is either broken or not an Oster 76 compatible blade. Oster blades are made of high quality, hardened steel. I have never seen one broken but anything is possible.

You should have an Operator's Manual or google Lawn Boy Model #. I have not replaced my blade.

Yes, it has happened twice. We called and they sent us a replacement blade unit. It seems once the rubber gasket comes off, the unit is useless because the problem just re-occurs which means you have a mess on your hands when you use it. So we have a couple of useless units now just gathering dust.

The center of the blade has a screw knob. Turn in direction shown on screw. Remove blade. Reverse to reinstall.

Mindy, Once you remove the deep cut housing from the machine it's very easy to replace the blade. You need to first take the housing out and then the blade screws in and out. You unscrew the housing to get the old blade out. Then out the new blade in and your back to crafting :)

For my table saw with a capacitor motor, I can't quickly press the "on" button. I have to hold this in for a second--until the motor builds up speed and the power draw (as judged by my lights dimming and then returning to normal) isn't as intense. Try holding it in for just a bit.

How old is the mower? Has the setting selector been damaged? Usually there are notches for the setting lever to be placed in? Not knowing the condition of the area in question can not suggest a remedy. Sorry.
