with pointed pliers.
Remove the knob
Remove the knob and fold the spray guard back.
Unscrew the screw to the spring

Installation
Install the spray guard
First fit the two screws of the spray guard to the cutting head. Press the plastic
plugs in place with a pin punch.
Fit the spring
Press in the spring latch with a screwdriver, turn the screw on the spring, as
per the adjacent illustrations.
Blade guard
Replacement
The blade guard is attached with a screw to the cutting unit and can easily be
replaced. A spring must also be removed.
Replaceable rollers
Note that the rollers can be removed from the blade guard and replaced.
Blade guard bracket
The bracket has a tube spacer surrounded by O-rings on each side. A metal
clamp holds the parts in place. Grease the O-rings and the tube spacer.
Fit the metal clamp correctly!
If the metal clamp is turned incorrectly, the end positions of the blade guard
will be misaligned. The metal clamp must be turned to ensure the folded plate
edge is directed downward, as per the illustration.
