Make sure that you remove the outside blades first. Although it is a little bit tight, and stuck hair stubs will complicate matters, the center blade will certainly detach. First, rinse it thoroughly with warm water. Then, with gentle, but increasing pressure, and using thumb and index finger, nudge and twist it clockwise, then counter-clockwise, then pull back slightly, then repeat again, until it lets go. Don't use too much pressure, as the hinges can break. It is difficult to explain but, once you get the hang of it, you won't have any problems.

We don't recommend removing either of the five blades. If absolutely needed, first the outer four are pinched off with index finger and thumb, then the middle cutter is removed by twisting it in the opposite direction of the tiny arrows, and lifting it straight up. It's usually in tight. Never do this unless you are already prepared to replace a new head attachment. We recommend soaking the head attachment in water to thoroughly clean before removing any blades.

Just hold the center blade between thumb and forefinger and twist counter clockwise

If you recently bought the shaver the center blade doesn't get removed, you should have received in the box the new cleaning process,,,is just rinsing hot water over the blades, seems many users broke the center blade removing and reinstalling now the new blade part center is fixed.

I had a difficult time with it. The center unit needs to be the last one removed. My fingers are about normal size yet it seemed too large. Press down & twist counter clock wise. A tool made for this would be great but I don't know of any.

Lift the blade holder. Until the shaft that holes the blade lines up with the holes on side of the case. Then using a small screwdriver push the shaft out

You use a flat smallish blade screwdriver.just work it past thelugs one side at a time.

You don't need a tool, it's a click mechanism. You lift a small handle and the blade will come out. Lift the handle, put in a new blade, let handle go and done! Very easy!

You really DON'T want to do that. It'll most likely require removing the blade guard and that's NOT a good thing. That being said - UNPLUG IT, remove the existing blade (and NOT the guard) and see if the bigger one fits SAFELY inside the guard. Spin it by hand while raising and lowering the guard. If you have 100% clearance, then its OK to use. The slightest rub - and the solution is to buy a new saw or another blade. Stay SAFE....

You are supposed to turn the blade, but it gets stuck. The whole thing does not work - don't buy it. I returned the one I got.

You can't clean stuff that get stuck between the blades. I threw mine away and wrote one of my only reviews ever for that very reason. Get a Broner. Works better AND you can clean it easily with a brush.

The handle was welded together on mine, so I had to sand of the little bit that remained after taking it off. Other than that, if you have the tools you can get it off just fine. Just beware of the welded piece when swinging around. *cough* if you do that.

You have to flip piece around other way and it fits. The raised nub/part instead of being on shaft side, once flipped is pointing towards the shaft, then it holds blade in place. At least that's what we had to do. Oh, I believe you have to unscrew that stem thing you are talking about. It stays off when blade is in place. Once you remove that you should understand what I'm talking about.

From what I've read, the blade is not removable. I have no experience trying to remove the blade though.

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.

You have to twist to open it. its a three piece the handle comes off after you unscrew it. then you take the top apart and insert the blade. Its very easy no issues blade sits perfect

It comes off. Just grab the plastic tip sticking up in the center and pull it off for an easy clean.

You simply twist it holding the top and bottom and it will separate in the middle. Sometimes it's a little tricky but there should be an arrow indicating which way to twist it.

I did that too. I turned it up side down and where I saw slots I carefully pulled them out and lifted the cover off and got the blade out. After that I discovered that all I needed to do was turn the blade until it was positioned for the dots to line up and it would come out.

Yeah, pull the blade off first and it only seems to come off in one direction. Love mine!

Really easy actually. I slapped myself once I realized this. Simply push up on the blade (black side up). The assembly comes right off for easy cleaning and oiling like the illusive picture recommends. Hope this helps!
