4. This would be an
excellent time to clean out
the interior of the machine;
remove the impacted ‘crud’
from the tyres, apply a little
light oil to the screw threads
of the blade and drive belt
tensioners and the track-
ing control. The pivots and
the slides of the top wheel
mounting assembly and
the captive stub axle of the
drive belt tensioner in its
slot could likewise be lightly
oiled.
5. If you are fitting a new blade, it will have been supplied to
you “folded”, bound together in this configuration with tape
or tie wrap.

counter-clockwise and remove the table stabilising bolt, see fig

blade carefully, ‘wiggling’ it clear of the upper blade guard and
through the lower blade guard and out the slot in the table, see
fig 72-73-74-75.
