To remove the blade, use the socket wrench to loosen the
hex bolt holding the center cover by turning it counterclock-

Press the shaft lock to lock the spindle and use the socket
wrench to loosen the hex bolt clockwise. Then remove the
hex bolt, outer flange and blade.
To install the blade, mount it carefully onto the spindle, mak-
ing 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 counter-
clockwise while pressing the shaft lock.
