Elektra Beckum KGS 301 Chop Saw reassembling blade guide

[gdjm]

Is there any one who can advise me on reassembling the blade guide on this chop saw ?
The guide is swung forward by the blade guard lever and am struggling to fathom the interaction between the various leves wires and spriongs.
Any help much appreciated.

OK so when you pull the handle a black nylon lever lifts behind the blade. This does two things. Firstly it disengages a lock at the back of the machine and secondly it pulls the wire which rotates the guard back. I have had to occasionally lubricate where the nylon lever pushes the lock up. Have taken a picture but my puter is messing me around and hiding it.

Edit. Haha classic turn it off and on again and the picture is found.

Thanks so much for taking the trouble to reply and post photo.
Here's wher I get confused . The lever with cable moves downwards .
How does this move guard ?

No when you pull the handle the black nylon lever lifts pulling the wire which is wrapped around the central part of the guard so it rotates out the way when pulled. There is a spring that wraps around the central pivot which pulls the guard back down when the handle is released.
