REVERSING THE BLADES
Your machine is equipped with dual reversible cutting blades. To reverse them, follow the steps
below:
WARNING: WEAR PROTECTIVE GLOVES, THE BLADES ARE VERY SHARP.
1. Turn the engine key off, remove the key and unplug the spark plug.
2. Open the large feed chute.
3. Before removing the bolts that mount the blades, place paper towels in the area opening
between the drum and the drum housing. This will prevent bolts from dropping into the drum
housing.
4. Remove the first 4 bolts.
Before removing the last bolt, be sure to support the blade from sliding down into the drum.
More paper towels or a shop towel does a good job at keeping this from happening.
5. Remove the blade, reverse it to the new sharp edge and reinstall it. Use only DK2 POWER
OEM blades.
6. Use Loctite on the bolt threads when replacing blade bolts.
7. Use the supplied T-handle tool to remove and replace the blade bolts.
8. Remove the paper towels, any paper left in the equipment will be cut up on the next running
operation.
