Hi All,
Does anyone know whether the cutting blade can be moved out of the way or
removed so that the overlocker does not cut the fabric as I overlock?!?

The nature of the beast is that it should be in place and you should be
cutting just a little for ordinary 3 or 4 thread overlocking.

There are some processes where you don't want cutting at all - such as
blind hemming and decorative work in the middle of something. For this
you do need to turn the blade up out of the way.

In some applications you *need* to be able to remove the
blade. For instance, if I want to finish a line of serging
"in the round" I do *not* want to cut the previously laid
down stitching, so I get back around to the starting point,
move the blade away, continue stitching another inch to
overlap the start, pull the needle thread out about an inch
so I can move the garment out of the stitching path, and
chain off. I just have to remember to move the blade back
into cutting position before starting the next item.

Yes, You can push in and flip the blade up (toward you) out of the way.
The machine will sew that way, but you'll get a neater finish if you let
the trimming blade do its job.
