INSTALLATION OF THE METAL BLADE

WARNING: Wear protective gloves when handling or performing maintenance on the blade to avoid injury. The blade is sharp and can cut you even when it is not moving.

5.Install the blade nut by threading onto the shaft counterclockwise.

6.Align hole in dust cup with hole in side of gearbox by rotating the blade.
