9" electsric knife EK700

didnt relly understand either the blades are not locking (they do have replacement blades at walmart.

GOTO AMAZON £6.05P KNEEDING BLADE

You use both blades together.. On one blade is a (should be) a small metal knob sticking out from the side. On the other is a matching hole. Hold the blades crossed at 90 deg. Lock the knob into the hole on the other and slide blades parrallel, side by side. Both blades should now slip into the slots in handle and lock into place. They will not be exactly level with each other. One will stick out further.. Plug in power, and push run button.. Blades slide back and forth against each other, just hold sharp side against the meat, and push button.. Cuts like butter..
To remove for cleaning, there should be a small button near where the blades lock in, on the bottom (?) push to release blades.. for washing.

To shred it into thin strips, use the blade with a series of holes in it. To slice, use the blade with a knife blade in it.

I have the same problem too, I just use a plastic or silicone spatula, the kind that you use to scrape the cake mixture off the sides of the bowl, just use the thinnest one you can, I also try to loosen the bread loaf by moving the part that moves the blades, just move it a little, back and forth and try to shake your loaf out. I hope this works.

one thing that i do is i lube the shaft with cooking oil and that seems to work getting the paddle out but for nor not tearing the bread you have to remember that it is baked into it
