4. Place the 13mm hex spanner (14) over the bolt in
the centre of the blade (13) (Fig. 35).
5. Depress the spindle lock (30). To ensure it engages
correctly, rotate the 13mm hex spanner (14) until
you hear it click (Fig. 36).
Note:
The spindle lock (30) locks the blade (13) in
position when changing the blade (13).
6. Loosen the bolt in the centre of the blade (13) using the 13mm hex spanner
(14) (loosen in a clockwise direction as the blade bolt has a left hand thread).
7. Remove the blade bolt followed by the outer blade washer. The blade (13)
can now be removed by pulling away from the spindle.
8. Fit the new blade onto the spindle, ensure the inner blade washer is located
behind the blade. Ensure the markings on the blade are facing outwards from
the spindle and the teeth are facing in the correct direction. Follow steps 2-7
in reverse to fit the new blade.
WARNING!
To ensure the correct blade
rotation always install the blade with the
blade teeth pointing downwards (Fig. 37).
Ensure the arrow direction on the blade
corresponds with the arrow on the upper
blade guard.
