What is the little button/knob for on the front of the chopper? Mine is stuck in one position, not sure if it matters. It works great, just wonderin

This 'slider' will allow the unit to remain in the compressed state without pressure on the plunger. This is ideal for cleaning the top of the chopper assembly.

If you push down the top of the chopper and hold while you slide the button to the left it locks in and shortens the chopper for easy storage. When ready to use just hold down on the chopper top while sliding the button to the right, the top pops up and its ready for use.

You can reduce the height of the chopper. Press all the way down on the top, keep it there, then slide the button over. It locks the top into the down position.

Its the locking mechanism to let you lock the blade in the down position so you can take it apart and toss it in the dish washer. To use it you have to push the handle down all the way so the blades come out and then switch the button to the other side. Should lock the blades in place.

Is your heli completely charged? Is the throttle all the way up? If so, try holding the heli in your hand, throttle all the way up and let go. If the heli spins and drops, you have a loose motor gear and it needs to be replaced. This is a pretty simple repair, I've done it on 3 of my helis, but if yours came this way new I would have it replaced.

Morning Chad, I would have to surmise the Helicopter unit is defective upon arrival. If the Helicopter "binds" okay and all other functions work then I would assume you got a lemon from the factory. I also purchased this item couple weeks ago and had a defective unit with my "right servo" not functioning. Quickly do a RMA back to Amazon for a refund or exchange. There isn't much more You can do with these items to correct or fix.

Hi, glad to help particularly because we love the chopper. It only has two blades, however.

John, the button cap at the rear unscrews......but, if it was cross threaded at the factory, it's froze on there.It's not worththe postage to send it back......give a pair of pliers a try.

That's the one thing I liked about this chopper, it actually chops. When you put an onion in, for example, you'll get little squares left as if you had taken a Chef's knife and chopped it by hand. If you continue to push the pulse button, then you'll get more of a mush than chopped consistency. My other "choppers," Cuisinart and KitchenAid, turn the onion into mush right from the start so I can't use them to "chop" anything. Hope this answer helps!

need to tweak it while on the ground. which means to keep it from spinning left or right.have it running to see which direction its going. then turn the tweak knob the opposite way. that should set it right

Flip the fuel cut-off switch just above the red knob. Not sure how to fix the broken knob, though. May not need it I you use fuel cut-off switch for the same purpose?

Does the blade turn at all? You said it "quit" turning, so I was wondering if it stops after it has turned somewhat. Are you absolutely sure the blade is installed correctly? Was the mower doing this when you first got it? I can assume from what you wrote that the motor is running all right and the sound doesn't change when the blade stops running? The blade will stop turning if you release the bar. That is the "blade override" feature kicking in. The motor will quieten considerably when that happens. Hope this and the suggestions by others will be a help to you!

ChuChi, where do you even insert the tip of the screw driver?? did you ever find out? Thank you! I'm mid project and dremmel is not even open to ask!

I agree with Miedego. The blade is not designed to separate from the unit to which it is attached. If you're trying to remove the blade unit from the bowl, simply turn it slightly. It should release.I love my mini chopper. Since I've had it, I seldom use my food processor!

that means you have tightened the screws that hold the blades to tight,make sure they are tight but not too tight, make sure the blades can swivel easily ,all 4 need to be able to swing back and forth freely.another thing, check the gears, ive had to replace my gears already, mostly the main gear in the rear of the chopper. but I put money on it you tightened the blades down to tight ,so just back the screws out 1 to 2 turns and try it , ive found a lot of good info on youtube .. hope that helps !!!!

I just got mine, so I'm hoping it works itself out ... but while it is very smooth during the motion, it is NOT smooth at all from a dead still start. It always jerks if the head has been setting for more than 5 or so seconds ... no matter how loose the screws.

Yea I have no idea Either. Took it apart and couldn't figure it out. Just put to side for future just in case.

Bop button on bottom of trimmer head. If that doesn't work take the string out and rewind it. Might be wound in opposite direction

may just be a bad motor. these little helicopters are usually of good quality. check to see if the pinion gear that is attached to the motor is touching the other gear. may just need to be adjusted up or down
