WARNING
: To reduce the risk of serious bodily
injury, DO NOT use power tools to assemble the
blades. If blade screws are overtightened, blades
may crack and break.
Locate 12 blade attachment screws/flat
washers/lock washers in hardware pack.
Turn blade so the end imprinted with THIS SIDE UP
is turned toward the ceiling. Place one blade on the
side of the motor housing
as shown
, aligning holes
in top and bottom ends of blade with holes on top
and bottom of the motor housing. Insert one blade
attachment screw/flat washer/lock washer into each
hole on the topside of blade with fingers first and
then partially tighten screws securely with a Phillips
screwdriver. Repeat procedure for remaining blades.
Carefully turn motor housing over. Insert one blade
attachment screw/flat washer/lock washer into each
motor screw hole with fingers first and then tighten
screws with a screwdriver.
Securely tighten all
12 screws only after all 3 blades have been
attached.
