The manual is zero help: it says the back may be secured by four screws (it isn't) or be a "snapback" style case (which it is). I have tried every careful method I know of to get a blade into the separation, with absolutely NO luck. Also, I cannot find ANY visual evidence that this back has EVER been off, and there are NO case-reliefs or anything like that to facilitate removal. Any hot ideas?</p> <p>Thanks!</p> <p>Bart </p>
