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

I believe mine was a easy removal with either a wing nut or something else easy to adjust. It is easy to adjust to change the angle of the blade. Personally, I wouldn't remove the blade even when storing it. It is too easy to lose the various parts that keep it together.

Wing nut supplied. I find it better to replace the wing nut with a Nylok nut and tighten/loosen it with a box-end wrench. The nut then stays snug during use.

Yes on the wing nut, I snug it with a pair of pliers but that may be unneeded. Hope this helps.

I used a hacksaw to saw down a little then i took a pair of pliers and broke it off. That should do the job.

Been a while since I put mine on... Pretty sure it's a standard (RH) nut. It was hard to get off because of all the grime. There should be holes in the blade. Place a screwdriver thru one and let it wedge against the trimmer guard for leverage. Hope that helped

You take the blade on and off by using the bolt that goes thought the center of the blade and the provided alien key to that snaps in the handle when not being used.

From what I've read, the blade is not removable. I have no experience trying to remove the blade though.

To remove the old blade and install the new blade you must loosen a set screw which comes with the new fan. Very easy install. Not sure about your number.

I am not aware of any instructions for installation of a cutting blade other than those in the owners manual you received with the trimmer. If you have the carbide (multi - tooth blade) follow, generally , the same instructions and common sense. This is really a short coming of Tanaka as someone could get hurt by an improper installation. Once you have the blade on ALWAYS secure the spindle nut in place with a new cotter pin. Best of luck

very easy. I handed it to my son and said do it. He did. We have had no problems with it and much cheaper than replacing the enitre blade part.

We were able to open it up and get the spring working again. It unscrews easily with a screwdriver, however, where it screws in it is plastic so it strips easily. The blade was flying out, so we took some crazy glue and built up the little ledge that stops the blade from flying out.

The blade is a unit that simply slips over the center post. The blade are attached, not removable from the plastic that they are imbedded in. It should simply lift off the center post. If is doesn't come off easily, then you will need to contact Oster and complain. I was very unhappy with this appliance. I used it once and then donated it to a charity. Better to spend the money and buy a small Cuisinart... they actually work the way they are supposed to.

There is a removal part where the blade is located for cleaning. Very messy clean up

You unscrew the whole top; it will come off in two pieces. Place the blade between the pieces and screw it back together. It is quite easy to do. Hope this helps!

You can swing it out of the way or completely remove it. No tools required. It just lifts off.

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 am not familiar with the blade you mention, but the replacement HHS blades available from various retailers are replaced exactly as suggested by other respondents. If in doubt, see page 4 of the instruction manual for installation and reverse to remove. There was a Allen wrench included in the box with my saw.

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.

Not so hard. First, remove the clear plastic surround. Then, look closely at the black plastic blade shroud. This shroud has a small flange around its bottom that is held in place by two 1" long curved plastic protuberances from the sides that hold it in place. wiggle it and see. These are under the protuberances that hold the clear surround you've already removed. Pinch the shroud until it springs free and remove it being careful not to cut yourself as the blade is now exposed. It seems to pinch better when turned in some positions than in others. When it comes free, remove it. Wash away. Be sure to remember how the black surround came out as you will have to get it aligned over the blade and under the protuberances when you reassemble it.
