I received this and cannot get the twin blades to fit -- can you advise if there is a trick to attaching??

Here is what I have to do....push in the button on the top back of the razor, line up the center of the twin blade with the center vertical bar and push the blades on and let go. What you will find is the latches on the razor fit into the outer bars. When you let go the razor is locked on. Hope this helps.

Those blades are not correct with the handle. throw them away and get the atra II blades you normally use.

hold down button on razor,place backside of blade cartridge against razor and press. Make sure the center post on razor is free,sometimes it will stick, it needs to hit center bump on blade cartridge and the 2 o/s hooks go around posts on cartridge.

I don't think there is ... I had a pack of twin I bought accidentally and failed. Since I bought it Altra I thought oh well no using the twin blades up. Have you sent word to the manufacture?

Make sure the white strip is up, push the button with your thumb, look at the side pins & make sure they move out, push the razor head into the back of the blade & make sure the pins are beside the holes & release button. I had a little trouble the first time too. Make sure you have trackII or atra blabes.

You may simply need to use a little extra pressure. I had been using an Atra when I bought this razor and had to press a little harder to get my blades to fit. It seems to be working fine now. Hope this works for you.

Hi, I'm not sure I can find these blades available. Can you send me just a couple to try? What we have now just isn't working. It was a Christmas gift that went all wrong. I am so sorry this has happened. Any help you can provide will be greatly appreciated. I sencerely thank you.

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 braces that run from the shaft to the blade on either side will only fit well when they are put on in a certain direction. Try them by hand first to make sure you are lining everything up right - and if not, flip them around to see if that works better.

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.

I use the Lenox Gold titanium edge blades and have had no problem. They fit snug and don't wiggle at all. I would make sure they're in the slot right and that the retaining screw is tightened sufficiently.

I had the same concern. My model is more than 10 yrs old and the blade fit just fine. I use it daily now. I was prepared to return it if it didn't fit.

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.

My wife, who is the primary user, did not use it enough yet to brake the blade - a frequent occurrence I can assure you. That is why we got the more professional machine. Sorry, No new blades yet. No idea where I would go at this time. rlp

Jim,I don't know? On mine I have never had a problem. It came with 4 of 5 different blades and they all slide right in. Let me know what specifically you are having trouble with and I will check it out.Mark

Most blades have a universal fitting in my experience. Never had any problemspurchasing blades that fit

It was a little tricky..I must say. On the razor...squeeze so that the little nubs are ready to go into the blade. Go to the edge closest to the 5 blades. Play with it a little and it should work. I hope this helps. I am generally good at stuff like this and for this one...I had to put my glasses on :)

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

It works fine with the blade they give you or any other by this B&D.; I too had trouble finding extra blades for it that would fit. There is a screw whole on the bottom that I believe can be used for fitment of other companys blades but do not remember if the corresponding bolt came with or not. It shouldn't be too hard to find one if not. Hope this helps.

Make sure the drive socket is installed properly. But it sounds like you need a new blade assembly. Before you buy a new one, make sure it"s attached tightly to the plastic container.

that is very odd , I take mine apart every shave and clean it and the blade ,sounds like you got a defected one ? since when they go together it doesn't take much to snug it down , I think you would have had to use a vise to break it and I don't see you doing that ,so I would ask amazon

You may have to change out the end pieces to fit your attachments, I just swapped mine out with the existing one.
