injury,
DO NOT use power tools to assemble
the blades. If screws are overtightened, blades
may crack and break.

screws/washers with fingers first and then
tighten screws securely with a Phillips
screwdriver. Repeat procedure for the
remaining blades.

blade arm with lock washers and blade arm
screws. Before securing screws permanently,
repeat procedure with remaining blade arms.
Securely tighten all screws.
