Just had a look at mine which seems to have lost the nut from the end of the screw so I haven't used it in a while. Mine was also shorter (hadn't notice it before). It's the orange Crimson &Blake one. If you look at the blade you can loosen the screw and turn the blade around. I did this and now it's level. I had assumed that he blade was equal at both ends so that you could use both, but it isn't. If yours is the same type Suzy try this Hope this helps
