4. Lower the cutting head while keeping it steady.

5. Unscrew the knob.
6. Remove it from the cutting head.

7. Loosen the plastic knob holding the blade cover in place.

8. Loosen the wing nut on the blade cover pivot shaft.
9. Remove the wing nut and accompanying washer.

10. Pivot the blade cover up and pull it off the shaft.

11. Insert the provided spanner wrench into one of the four tightening holes on the inner flange behind the blade.
12. Use the the provided nut wrench to loosen the hex nut while providing counterforce with the spanner wrench.

13. Remove the hex nut.
14. Remove the outer flange.

15. Remove the cutting blade.
16. The blade can be sharp, so handle with care.

17. Pull the entire cutting head straight off the shaft holding it in place.

19. Remove the bottom cover.

20. Remove the Phillips #2 screw holding the ground wires to the chassis.
21. Loosen the wires from each other.

23. Reassembly tip: there are three ground wires attached here that will need to be reinstalled upon reassembly.

26. Remove the red/orange wire combo plug from the 4-pin rectifier.
27. Use needle-nose pliers if you can't reach this plug with your fingers.

28. Be very careful with this connection, as even minimal bending can break the metal conductor in half.
