contain aromatic oils such as pine and lemon, and
solvents such as kerosene, can damage plastic housing
or handle. Wipe off any moisture with a soft cloth.
STORAGE
Store the unit locked up to prevent unauthorized use or
damage.
Store the unit in a dry, well-ventilated area.
Store the unit out of the reach of children.
To avoid serious

slot and insert the locking rod into the bushing hole
(Fig. 14).
4. Put the blade retainer and nut on the output shaft.
Make sure that the blade is installed correctly.

If using a torque wrench and an 13 mm socket tighten
to: 325 - 335 in•lb, 27 - 28 ft.•lb, 37 - 38 N•m.
Without a torque wrench, use a 13 mm closed-end or

is snug against the shaft bushing. Make sure that the
blade is installed correctly, then rotate the nut an
additional 1/4 to 1/2 turn counterclockwise (Fig. 18).

Sharpening the blade can cause the blade tip
to break off while in use. This can result in
severe personal injury. Replace the blade.
