"Removing Blade" steps.
2. Carefully handle the new blade. Check that
the rotation arrow on the blade matches the
rotation arrow on the lower guard. Slide the
blade up and between the sides of the chip

blade so its arbor hole goes around the
support ring of the inner washer (see
Figures 4 and 5).

and finger-tighten

remained on the inner washer's support
ring.

arbor lock until it fully seats into its lock
position.
5. Using the 6/4mm hex key, firmly tighten the
blade bolt counterclockwise. NOTE: This
bolt has left-hand threads. Do not over
tighten. A 6mm hex key may be used as an
alternate.
6. Remove the lower guard link from the rear
cover plate screw. Rotate the lower guard
and cover plate around the front cover plate
screw until the cover plate's slot slides
under the rear cover plate screw head. Fully
tighten both cover plate screws using the
6/4mm hex key.
7. Place the lower guard link back to the
original po sition, then firmly finger-tighten
the link knob to the pivot post. It may be
necessary to retract the lower guard while
tightening the link knob.

blade turns freely.
