• When loosening and tightening the saw blade nut,
there is a risk of injury from the teeth of the saw blade.
You should therefore always ensure that your hand is
shielded by the blade guard when doing this. Always
use a socket spanner with a shaft that is long enough
to allow this. The arrow in the diagram shows the area
where you should operate the socket spanner when
loosening or tightening the nut.

disc aligns with the corresponding hole in the gear
housing.
