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.

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.

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.
