6. Push out the 1/4" diameter blade retaining Dowel Pin

and remove the broken Driving Blade stub.

7. Install a new Driving Blade in the slot and replace the

Dowel Pin. Screw on the retaining Jam Nut using the

same tools. If the Jam Nut becomes worn and loose after

frequent removals, it should be replaced.

8. Check the t, there should be some sideways

movement between the Driving Blade and the Jam Nut

assembly. This is desirable and helps the blade to align

itself with the mating parts.

9. Reassemble the components. Be sure to align

the Driving Blade with the slot in the Adapter Foot

Assembly, it goes in only one way.

SEAL REPLACEMENT:

There are 7 seals that may require replacement. We

recommend that you have your POWERNAIL Dealer

replace the Seals.

SEAL KIT:

You may choose to buy a Seal Replacement Kit and

replace the seals yourself. It is good practice to replace

all seals at one time regardless if only one seal needs

replacement.
