To change the blade on a DR Power LAWN EDGER, follow these steps:

1. Position the Height Adjust Handle in the transport position to lift the Spindle off the ground.
2. Insert a Phillips screwdriver into the hole in the Shaft to hold it from turning. You may need to rotate the Blade to align the hole.
3. Use an 18mm Wrench and a Torque Wrench with an 18mm socket to remove the Blade.
4. Replace it with a new DR Edger Blade (Part number 39173).
5. Secure the new Blade properly.

Ensure all parts are tightened and secure before operating the machine.
