5. Slide the cover plate down and out from the rear
screw. Rotate the cover plate and lower guard
counterclockwise around the front screw. While
holding the lower guard up against the upper
guard, move the link so its round hole can go over
the rear screw – let go and the lower guard assem-
bly will be held out of the way (see Figure 4).
