To get it apart, just pull the palio apart. You can slide it back on the rails when you are done. I have done this several times.

I would not take it apart personally.
If they were intended to be "taken apart" for cleaning, Im sure it would have been noted by now somewhere in one of the forums he frequents.

I would send it in for service. Marc will be more than happy to take care of you. Trust me.

I know you are concerned, but at a bachelor party, I accidentally slid the Palio too far open and the two halves separated. I just pushed them back on the tracks. I have taken it off and put it back on several times. I haven't noticed a difference in the Palio and I use it pretty much every day.

Basically, it is up to you if you want to slide it off the tracks. Like poker said, they may not be designed to do that.

Here you go.

Palio Care

If it's new and a little tight, just give it some time. It will loosen up.

I agree. Mine was a little "tight" when I first received it. After I used it for a while it "loosened" up. Now it's smooth as silk.
I'd be a little apprehensive pulling it apart. I'm not positive, but this may negate your warranty. I know, many say they pull it apart. I'd only do this if I new it wouldn't affect my warranty. Just my

Good luck

I just pull mine apart and run a Q-tip threw the rails with some isopropanol on it and snap it back together.

I could not have answered this thread any better, so I won't lol
This includes the personal advice given at the end, as the Palio cutter is made of a proprietary composite blend and not a traditional ABS plastic. The reason for the composite is that it is a "non binding" material and will keep its "action" for life and actually get better throughout the life of the unit.

If you have any problems or are unhappy with the unit you have purchased please do as Tom did and either exchange it at an authorized Palio retailer or send it back to Palio directly.

Believe what he's saying is it won't void your warranty, though he strongly advises against taking it apart.
