8. Blade Assembly.
WARNING
: To reduce the risk of serious
bodily injury,
DO NOT use power tools to
assemble the blades. If overtightened, blades
may crack and break.
Time Saver:
Washers for blade screws can be
set on each blade screw prior to installing
blades.
Locate 15 blade attachment screws and
washers in one of the hardware packs. Hold
blade arm up to blade and align holes. Insert
3 blade attachment screws (along with
washers) with fingers first and then tighten
screws securely with a Phillips screwdriver.
Repeat for the remaining blades.
Locate 10 blade arm screws and lock washers
in hardware pack. Slide a blade arm into one
of the sqaure holes in the side of the motor
housing, making sure to align the blade arm
holes with the motor screw holes, and then
attach blade arm with lock washers and blade
arm screws. Before securing screws
permanently, repeat this procedure with
remaining blade arms. Secure all screws.
Note
: Tighten blade arm screws twice a year.
