Did you perhaps loose that little plastic washer that goes on before the screw when you last changed the blade. I have to be so careful to get everything back in the right order, or the screw WON'T stay tight.

I've e-mailed Fiskars and received a message that someone will get back to me within five days, so in the meantime I thought I'd ask. Thanks!

Theres a little washer like dealy that goes under the screw, it isn't flat. Maybe you lost this when replacing your blade.(?)

Fiskars has a lifetime warranty and I have had to have 2 cutters replaced, no questions asked. I went to their website and got the contact information. http://www2.fiskers.com/CustomerService/Contact-Us The phone number and how to get the product replaced is all there. Good Luck Nancy

Yes! I have this problem, too, just not quite as often as you're having it. I assumed it's just part of using the rotary cutter. Mine is a 45 mm Fiskars, and was not that expensive. I keep thinking I'll buy a fancier one but I'm so used to this one that I never have.

I have this same problem. Don't know what it is.
|
Jan in VA - you got that right!
|
Do you have a lot of lint built up under the blade from the flannel? That may keep the nut from tightening.

A couple of things:
1. Once you Loctite your nut, you will not be able to remove it to change blades. 2. I finally got to try a Martelli cutter and it is just the greatest thing. It works well with my arthritic hands and the blades are super sharp. |
