I have it already and I can't figure out how to close it! Do you keep pressing the nail file onto the top handle (seems like it would damage blades).

You just gently press it back in place, it will stay there, oh, you'll think it will pop back open, but it doesn't. I stays.... Bad thing is I lost mine already. :(

It's weird. It's seems like you're forcing it but fold the file on top of the cutting lever and it will fold flat.

Yes, press on the nail file until it closes.There's a reason why this clipper costs so much compared to drug store clippers. It's made well! Trust it.

That's the way it is done. You first press down the cutter lever to the lowest end and then press the file file over it. You'll notice that at the point where the two meet during this procedure, no part of the actual filing section is interfered with at all.

It takes two hands. Press down the springy part with one hand, then close (press down) the file part over it. It then locks into place. The file part does not get damaged. Took a while to figure it out.

Yes, that is correct...just "fold" the two pieces over on top of one another. There will be some tension but it will go...and don't worry about damage, they will stay as sharp as ever.

Yes, push the blade handle low enough for the file to close on top of it and press it all the way down, the top and bottom blades will close and touch. It won't damage the blades, I've had this style of clippers for many, many years, never had any issues with dull or damaged blades. Good Luck.

There is a little groove with ridges in the area it closes shut at. It is quite tough just an FYI but I suggest using your thumb and you just pull enough on it until you can pull the blade From the locking position ( its easy to see when its unlocked) Then voila!!!

Turn the knife with the blade facing up. On the handle right next to the blade is a locking piece. Slide this to the right or left. I can't remember which. The blade can then be closes.

To close the blades there is a button on the base of the blade . To close the screwdrivers there is a button about 1 in down from the base of the blade and the pliers just fold back up. It will be alittle stiff when new but it will breakin

No. There is a small slider on the outside opposite the clip that you have to slide up to unlock the blade for closing. You can see it in the product picture.

The comb hooks on the top of the blades and then you have to push on the bottom so that the tab snaps on to keep the comb on. When you're done, just pull the tab forward to release it and remove the comb.

I use a pocket knife to wedge between the two pieces...if you have a nail file go the top corner either corner and wedge it in between the case slide it down the side till it pops loose

on the underside of the knife there is a serrated secondary piece of metal; press it in toward the handle and fold the blade down; it is a locking device and apparently you found out it works well and won't release until you release it!! good luck and have a great weekend...

Mine did the same thing. I just squeezed the air out and used a clip to close it. It's frustrating though, you spend so much money on a product, you expect it to have proper packaging.

I use my thumbnail or a fingernail. By the way, if you get it to come out, you'll see a little arm that slides down. You need to push it down until it clicks. Then you're good to go!

To take out the blade you simply pull the blade/component you want out. To unlock it/fold it back in, press down on the flat piece of metal right below the circular hinge (it actually has a very small picture of an opened lock on it) - this will release the lock on the blade and allow you to fold it back in. I hope this helps! :)

I've been using it for several months & not had an issue with the open bottom. I guess if you wanted to close it in you could cut a piece of cardboard or some material to fit the opening but I really don't see an issue with it. Handling it with normal use, your fingers shouldn't come any where near the blades but to each his own.

Inside the handle with sharp side up there's a lock bar that locks blade in place. With blade pointed away from you press bar to the left that will unlock blade so you can close it.

Pull down the red safety on the right side then push the liner lock at the same time and the blade will close

Hi! I finally got the blade off my can opener! There is a little lever that says "blade release" that needed to be pushed down, but, I kept moving the handle either too much or not enough while I pulled on it, but, finally, it popped off. Now if I can only remember how I did it for thenext time!! :) Thank you all.

I push it through the base using a fingernail or the bit that is currently removed, from top to bottom.EDIT: I see from the earlier replies I have been doing it wrong. :)

On my unit the 3 screws that hold the blade will not release. I have tried both directions...thinking they may be reverse thread...still no movement.Tried some penetrant...no luck.Any thoughts
