All you need is the Rotary Blade Kit! The  first thing that we’re going to do is to take our empty cap and place it into our dull blade housing.

Once you hear the click, what we’re going to do is to take our screwdriver and just simply unscrew it.

Now you’re going to take your screw and set it to the side.

Remove your old dull blade. Then grab your new housing and snap it right back into place. Once we place the cap on, what we’re going to do is to grab the screw and screw it back on. Now take off the cap.

You’re going to want to have a mat handy to try out your new blade and see how well it works. If it has any movement that means you’ll want to tighten it. If it’s not moving at all or it’s a little too stiff, you’ll want to loosen it.

And there you have it! It really is as easy as that to change your rotary blade. Hope you guys enjoy this tutorial as much as I did. Stay tuned for more awesome tutorials and DIY projects that we’ll create with it.
