▼ VARI-TORQUE CLUTCH
This clutching action is provided by the
friction of the OUTER WASHER against
the BLADE and permits the blade shaft
to turn when the blade encounters
excessive resistance. When the BLADE
STUD is properly tightened (as
described in No. 5 of Attaching The
Blade), the blade will slip when it
encounters ex cessive resistance, thus
reducing saw's tendency to KICKBACK.
