injury,
DO NOT use power tools to assemble

attachment screws (along with washers) with
fingers first and then tighten screws securely
with a Phillips screwdriver. Repeat for the

arm holes with motor screw holes and attach
blade arm with lock washers and blade arm
screws. Before securing screws permanently,
repeat with remaining blade arms. Securely
