inside the spring housing. The shaft should

If the pressure is
weak or there is no return pressure at all,
remove the shaft, tighten the spring housing
by rotating clockwise, and re-install the
shaft to check for proper operation.

Replace the setscrew at the end of the
shaft, so that the cutterhead guard cannot
