Porter Cable 314 return spring

[Allen Hinton]

Can someone with a Porter Cable 314 trim saw please post a picture (blade removed) of how the blade guard return spring is routed. I was repairing a slight bend in the guard on a newly purchased (used) 314 and discovered that i had no idea how to properly route this spring.

Thanks in advance, Allen

Other end attaches thru a little hole in the rotating gaurd ..at about 9 o clock relative to the arbor
