Where can I find a thorough video or instructions on how to sharpen? (I can't figure out how to remove the wheel.)

To remove the wheel, you will need to pry off the center cap with a flat screwdriver, then remove the C-clip, the wheel can then be removed, then the gear and the drive pin. The rest would depend on which sharpening kit you are using. Most would say to adjust the cutting bar then apply the sharpening/grinding compound to the blades and then spin the blades with the supplied crank handle or electric drill. There are plenty of online videos that cover this process.

You can find everything in Makita's owners manual. I've removed and reinstalled the chain twice and it is simple, but I haven't had to replace it yet. As a matter a fact, I haven't even sharpened it yet. It seems to stay pretty sharp, but I will probably need to before Spring.

The wheel is in my storage unit, unfortunately, and I do not want to dig it out to help you. I tried dealing with the company directly. Please try that rather than bothering me about these products.

I use the Lansky sharpening system and sharpen it by sections. I've also used the diamond edge "steel" to rought it in before I finished it. Works great for me!

There are directions on the cardboard blister pack that the stone is sealed in. There are many instructional videos on U-Tube. Wranglestar has some of the best. Look on his UTube site under axe and knife sharpening!! Cheers, Rick

You tube has a video that should help you or go to their website and request they send you the instructions. http://youtu.be/wFU7vWCg01o

Jacobs has some instructions on their site too. http://www.jacobschuck.com/hammer-drill-chuck-removal.asp

I use the polishing wheels; the stones will not put an edge on any knife, not even Wurstof. Wurstof recommends using the polishing wheeles, the one one right end. The sharpener does a great job.

Right where the blade and handle come together as you are looking at the sharpe side the blade to the right side of the blade in the handle there is a small piece with jagged edge on it. You push this slightly to the side towards the handle and it releases the blade to close it. This is very hard to explain on the comment section. It is just a small piece of metal with jagged edge next to the blade you push towards the handle and the blade releases. I hope this helps.

Contact Gerber and show them that there is no blade. Or, you could sharpen it yourself..

No instruction sheet with product. Remove wheel and lay out parts so you can put them back in order.

I recommend this... Gatco 10006 Ultimate diamond hone sharpening system There is a little bit of a learning curve. I use the 22 degree slot. You can achieve a professional, polished razor sharp edge every time. Start off with the course hone first. Work it evenly both sides until you establish the 22 degrees. Then move on to the medium for a few and then to the fine hone. Little trick....If you move the hone down the length of the blade (from the grip to the tip) it will make an extremely smooth even SHARP edge. Takes a little longer to do it this way but it's worth it. I recommend this... Gatco 10006 Ultimate diamond hone sharpening system There is a little bit of a learning curve. I use the 22 degree slot.

The only way I know of to sharpen a set of blades like this is by using a rat tail diamond hone. It is skill dependent and time consuming. Highly recommend purchasing a spare set of blades and scrap the idea of sharpening.

I have the same mower... there are a couple great YouTube videos of this exact mower by OzarkNick. Just go to youtube.com and check them out. He shows how to sharpen it yourself and adjust the blades. I'm on my 3rd season with it and it still cuts great!

Set the blade on the slicer to open fully so that the sharpening wheel fits behind the blade. Advance the carriage toward the blade but do not have it touch. The blade should contact the wheel in the middle of the "grit". Turn on the slider and advance the sharpener until it touches the blade. The sharpening wheel should turn. Keep the sharpener and blade in contact with medium pressure for about 10 seconds and pull sharpener back from the blade. To remove the burr on the blade, position the sharpener so that the pad is near the sharpened blade. Turn on the slicer and engage the pad by pushing the "actuator rod" to move the pad against the blade for about 5 seconds. Wash blade with damp sponge.

You could do it the old-fashioned way with a whetstone and some honing oil, or you could try a sharpening tool. I'm very pleaser with the SelecTool http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B004BTIS7I/ref=mp_s_a_1_1?qid=1401299383&sr;=8-1π=SL75

I'm trying to figure that out too! A video would be nice. The step-by-step instructions aren't clear.
