To install the blade, mount it carefully onto the spindle,
making sure that the direction of the arrow on the surface
of the blade matches the direction of the arrow on the
blade case. Install the outer flange and hex bolt, and then
use the socket wrench to tighten the hex bolt
(left-handed) securely counterclockwise while pressing
the shaft lock.
Return the blade guard and center cover to its original
position. Then tighten the hex bolt clockwise to secure
the center cover. Release the handle from the raised
position by pulling the stopper pin. Lower the handle to
make sure that the blade guard moves properly. Make
sure the shaft lock has released spindle before making
