EXAMPLE ON THE NEXT PAGE
3. NOTE: Before removing the bolts that mount the blades, place paper towels in the area
opening between the drum and the drum housing. This will prevent bolts from dropping into
the drum housing.
5. NOTE: Before removing the last bolt, be sure to support the blade from sliding down the
drum. More paper towels or a shop towel does a good job.
