Einleitung
Polar Wind 8" High Velocity portable fans are cheap, yet efficient, and easy to carry around. While these fans can last many years with proper care, the blades are made of plastic, and can easily get damaged or worn. This guide will show you how to replace the blades in six steps, and all you need is the knowledge of how to properly use a screwdriver and a pair of pliers.
Because we are dealing with small parts that can be rather tricky to disassemble, the difficulty of this guide is set to moderate.
Tips:
- Lube would be helpful to have on hand, but is not required.
- Because the blades are made of plastic, it would be a good idea to recycle the old blades.
