How is the blade removed? Do we need a tool? Or is it a wing nut or something easy like that?

There is a wing nut to remove the blade. There is also 2 positive stops to keep the blade open or closed for storage. I find the wing nut to be adequately sized so it can be securely tightened by hand even with gloves on.

Very simple removal with two wing nuts. Suggest when blade is removed that you place wing nuts back on tool for safe keeping.

Held on with a wing nut, It came with some thread lock so it is tight the first time or two, but then it wears in and is easy to change

It is a wing nut, which on mine has stayed tight, does well. The pole is long, but I have put a slight bow in the aluminum pole, which has not effected the operation and storage. My previous pole (old) was fiberglass and that was never and issue. Blade is holding a great edge and they send 2, I have yet to use the back up after 6 months of weekend type use.

Take the wrench out of its holder and loosen up bolt holding the blade. You will have to engage the blade stop that is located on the front side of the saw. Remove the bold and blade and then to install a new blade just reverse this procedure making sure you install the blade in the correct rotation.

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

No need to remove lawn mower blade; however, I have found the tool not very good for mower blades. For smaller tools, ie, hedge trimmers, pruning shears, scissors, it is excellent. The tool is not 'beefy' enough for mower blades.

You dont need a "tool". You just push it on by hand, and pull it off by hand to remove.

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

Correct, no wrench is included. You don't really need one, the blades come off pretty easily. I just use a set of wire cutters and carefully slide them between the blade and the frame and lever the blade off. Do not squeeze and damage the shaft.

you remove the "inner" blade cover by twisting a knob in the back and it pop right off. Then there are 3 screw you'll have to loosen and remove in order to remove the blade itself. FYI, i was able to loosen 2 of the 3 screw and the last was impossible to remove. I called the customer service to see if i can't get that fix or exchange for another and they told me you're not suppose to remove the blade (they fear you'll hurt yourself by cutting yourself removing the blade). Not for cleaning, or replacing the blade for a replacement blade in case this one get damage. So really, i brought a "defective machine" but they see it as operational.

I do use Accu Sharp tools. Technically, no, you do not have to remove the blade. But, putting the blade in a vice would be more effective. Also, this particular tool, while very good for outdoor knives, trowels, and thinner metal tools, is not all that effective for thick, hardened metal tools such as lawn mower blades, shovels, etc. But, give it a shot, and let us know how it went.

Are the nuts really small? Are you missing the blades or the grating that the nuts are pushed through? Can you make a video of your process? To me this almost seems physically impossible...

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.

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.

there is lever up near the front on the lift hand side. lift it put as far and it will let go and then it releases the blade.

Working on the assumption that your saw blade is still attached to its plastic holder - remove the wing nut and bolt from the plastic holder, slide the holder on to the aluminum pole, place the bolt and wing nut back on the holder, twist the holder 1/4 turn so that when the bolt is tightened, it grips the thickest part of the pole, slide the holder as close to the end of the pole as possible while still leaving room to tighten the wing nut, tighten the wing nut.

The blade can be removed fairly easily, if you have the "wagon wheel" model. You need to stabilize the blade and unscrew the wagon wheel from the bottom of the assembly. The blade is then easy to remove. I think I used a potholder and pliers to stabilize the blade.

Just inline cutting and it also orbits. I use Bosch blades and do not have any issues.
