ASSEMBLY TIPS:
- THE ASSEMBLY HARDWARE IS PLACED IN THE HANDLE HOLE OF THE BLACK TUFFBRACE THAT ATTACHES THE HANDLE TO THE BLADE
(THIS SEEMS TO BE A COMMON PROBLEM SO WE PLACE THEM IN THE TUFFBRACE TO PREVENT THE LOSS OF FASTENERS IN THE CIRCUMSTANCE OF PACKAGE DAMAGE)
- AFTER INSERTING THE HANDLE IN THE BRACE LAY SHOVEL FLAT ON THE FLOOR WITH THE BLADE CURL DOWN
- NO PREDRILLING IS NEEDED – SCREWS ARE SELF DRILLING
- A POWER SCREWDRIVER WORKS BEST TO INSERT SCREWS
CHECK BLADE FOR STRAIGHTNESS (IF THE BLADE HAS WARPED IN STORAGE OR SHIPPING)
- AFTER ASSEMBLING SIMPLY PULL ON THE CORNERS UNTIL STRAIGHT (YOU CAN OVERBEND SLIGHTLY AND IT WILL CORRECT TO STRAIGHT)
- YOU WILL NOT BREAK THE BLADE
