I can't get the shield off the floor standing, Holmes fan to clean the blades. This model has to be at least 15 years old. There does not seem to be a "quick release" feature to remove the front guard. The fan is white in color and is 3-speeds. Does it require use of tools to remove the the front blade=guard? Any help would be appreciated
