CARE AND MAINTENANCE
e. Remove the blade nut (E), blade retainer (F),
outer flange, blade (D), and the blade hub from
the spindle (Fig. 6c). Check and replace them if
they are worn.
Installing the blade
a. Position the blade hub (removed in step “e” of
the “
Removing the blade
” section) onto the
spindle with the bulge facing outwards. Ensure
that the slot in the blade hub is aligned with the
groove on the tool to facilitate the insertion of a
‘spindle lock’ (Fig. 6d).
b. Insert a 6mm hex wrench or a metal rod into
the slot in the blade hub to act as
a spindle lock (Fig. 6b).
c. Place the new blade onto the blade hub.
WARNING
• The bulge of the blade hub must engage the
blade’s arbor (Fig. 6c and 6e). There should not
be any clearance between the blade and the flat
surface of the blade hub.
d. Mount the outer flange, blade retainer and the
nut onto the spindle, and pre-tighten the nut
COUNTERCLOCKWISE
by hand (Fig. 6e).
e. Use the multi-function wrench (J) to tighten the
nut
COUNTERCLOCKWISE
securely onto the
shaft.
