safety gaurd

[Dave]

When I lower the blade to cut the safety shield will not float up.

Hi Dave,

You will need to inspect the linkage that lifts the blade guard. Look for worn bushings or cracked housings. My guess is that either the guard link, item #59, is bent or that the torsion spring, item #49 is broken.

The guard link is part #146752-02 and the torsion spring is part #146748-00. Both are available from http://ereplacementparts.com.

Good luck with your repair!
