Did anyone have a problem attaching the cutting attachment to the unit?

I had a problem with the alignment of the push button latch which took some work to mate with the hole in the shaft. After messing around with it for a few hours I was able to use the cutter.

Have never experienced anything like that. I would ensure the saw unit is mounted / secured to a bench or table before operating. Otherwise - sounds like it needs to go into the shop.

Yes. When I moved into the house I am in now, I had to buy a new one because mine was cut. I tried to splice it before I bought a new one, but that didn't work. The previous owner had a dog, so I guessed that this was the issue (it had also chewed through the power cord for my pool cleaner).

I have never had a problem with any of my units. The ribbon has three prongs that go face down and connect to the mechinisim that moves it. press them down and route the ribbon properly.

As I recall it was tricky getting that blade in because something was obstructing it, but I can't remember what. I got it in after a few minutes of fiddling around though so if you don't have it in by now send me an email and I'll take the blade off and see what I have to do to put it back in john.hawley@wright.edu.

I haven't experienced that problem with this cutter, but with my old Fiskars cutter, that would happen when the cutting strip became worn and the blade would get off into a groove. Once I replaced the strip, the measure would once again be accurate.

I don't have that problem. I suspect that the blade cover (housing) is not properly inserted into machine. The gap between blade and blade cover is pretty small such that only minimal debris is collected. That has been my experience.

yes. the problem you are experiencing is what i experienced. the trouble shooting recommended getting new blade for the machine. I did that and that did not help at all. I think it is defected. I ended up throwing mine out because i was pass warranty and i could not deal with the loud noise and intense vibrations. If yours is still under warranty, then use it.

Try a stainless steel pad, very gently. I cut mine down and did not have that problem.

Haven't had a problem with ours. Perhaps loosen the connector nut. Hold the Ice scrapper portion in one hand and bang pusher pad on the ground?

I have not had that problem. Is it possible you are pushing down on the knife? Do not press on the knife, let the machine do the work.

I also got my hair dryer on Black Friday. None of the attachments fit. My husband took it to his workbench to try, and even he couldn't get them to attach. Definitely something wrong here.

I did use some of the attachments.... all worked fine. My only commentwould be instead having to attach the pieces to the side, it should becoming from the middle. Agronomically easier to use.

I did not have that problem, but it was a very close. After tightening it compressed the metal tube so now it is easy to attach. You may want to compress the pipe slightly. Just a thought.

First, do not use a long extension cord instead plug direct to the outlet. When cutting, do not push hard, let the blade do its work. For parts, call rikon parts department. I never have problem with mine.

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
