The inner flange has a certain diameter protrusion on
one side of it and a different diameter protrusion on the
other side. Choose a correct side on which protrusion
fits into the saw blade hole perfectly.
Next, mount the inner flange onto the mounting shaft
so that the correct side of protrusion on the inner flange
faces outward and then place saw blade and outer
flange.
BE SURE TO TIGHTEN THE HEX BOLT CLOCKWISE
SECURELY.
CAUTION:
•
Make sure that the protrusion "a" on the
inner flange that is positioned outside
fits into the saw blade hole "a" perfectly.
Mounting the blade on the wrong side can result
in the dangerous vibration.
