gloved hand and with a spanner, loosen the blade bolt
by turning it anti-clockwise (S).
2. Remove the blade bolt, washer and blade.(S)

screwdriver (T1) into the hole (T2) to lock the drive, then use
a spanner (13mm A/F) to loosen the blade bolt by turning
the spanner anti-clockwise. Ensure the screwdriver is
removed before atempting to turn on the machine.

whichever is the sooner - regardless of condition. If the
blade is cracked or damaged replace it with a new one.
