Blades are sharp. When handling the blade assembly,

NOTE: The yokes cannot be lifted unless they clear the
lip of the cams.
n Remove the four (4) blade screws.
n Each blade has an oval yoke attached at one end. Slide
the blades into position so the yokes align. Remove the
blade from the housing.
INSTALLING A NEW BLADE

to the areas indicated.
n Align the cams.
n Place the new blade on the housing and align the yokes
to drop into place. Rotate the blade so that it drops past

accident or electrical shock, resulting in serious injury.

repeat the steps under Removing the Blade and Installing
