extension spring

[Lebert]

I just inherited a HD77 Type 15 saw. The extension spring is missing so the lower guard is loose and therefore it is hazardous to operate the saw. My question is how do I hook up the spring?

Hi Lebert,

One end of the spring is flared the other has a hook on it. Thread the spring through the small hole located near the center of the lower guard. Pull the spring through the hole so that the flared end contacts the lower guard. Now you can attach the hooked end to the connection point on the inside, top, of the upper guard. Whit that the guard should now be functional.

Good luck with your repair!
