1.Align the hole in blade holder A with the matching hole in the gear case flange and then temporarily lock the output shaft by inserting a hex wrench through both holes. See Figure 12.

2.Slide the safety clip off-center. See Figure 13.

3.Fit the blade over the safety clip and then center it over the flange on holder A. See Figure 14.
