yes and clean them with a brush too. makes them wear a little better. I oil them before use and then again after cleaning.

very rarely. i use mine for about an hour of run time every month and oil it only if i notice the blades heating up more than usual.

It doesn't matter. I keep mine in mineral oil. I dry off some of the oil before I wipe it on the plastic board. The RazorBlade is just a piece of rubbery plastic but it works.

The cutter is installed on the motor shaft from the factory and it includes a food grade lubricant to ensure you may remove and clean after use. So yes, the blade assembly is mounted by the factory and oiled. No concern over the oil as it is food grade for use in that environment.

No motor oil required. They are extremely low maintenance. I agree with the spraying the PAM to help cleaning the undercarriage. Otherwise, probably the only thing you'll ever need to do is remove the blade and sharpen it every so often.

A small tube of oil comes with the blade. Its enough to keep your blades oiled, until you buy some from a beauty supply store for $2.

Actually the care suggests not to put them in the dishwasher. I believe the prolonged heat may be hard on such thin ceramic. However, I've put mine in the dishwasher occasionally when I was in a hurry, but only put them on a 'delicate' or 'light' wash cycle and they were fine. I think a regular prolonged exposure to heat my cause damage to the blade.

Did you try oiling the blade. But besides that I think it's a norm. If you have any problems email me thanks

The ceramic edges do.last longer; however, they eventually need to be sharpen. They tend to get micro chips on the edge that need to be honed.

No, you always have to use oil not much though, unless its an airpopper then yes no oil needed.

Never ever sharpen ceramic knives yourself. They require a professional. If they are treated well and correctly, they won't need sharpening often and should last for many many years.

No, ceramic blades require a professional setup. The vibration from a regular sharpener will shatter a ceramic blade.

No - the instruction manual specifically indicates that ceramic knives are NOT RECOMMENDED to be sharpened in this model

NO! This tool DOES require oiling in order to lubricate the O-rings as explained in the Owners Manual and should be run at no more than 85PSI at the tool.
