(2). Slip the blade around the motor pulley (bottom) with the left hand and hold in
position.

hand
which is placed at the top of the Made.
(4). Remove left hand from.bottom pulley and place is at the top aide of the Made to
continue the
application on the upward pull on the blade.

hand to slip the blade around the pulley using the thumb, index and little finger as
guides.
(6). Adjust the blade tension knob clockwise until it is just right enough so no blade
slippage occurs. Do not tighten excessively.
(7). Replace the blade guards.
(8). Place 2-3 drops of oil on the blade.
