Installing the blade

CAUTION:
Make sure to install the circular
saw blade so that the direction of the arrow on the
blade matches that on the blade case. Failure to do
so may result in personal injury and cause damage to
the tool and/or the workpiece.
To install the circular saw blade, perform the following
steps:
1. Mount the circular saw blade carefully onto the
inner flange. Make sure that the direction of the arrow
on the circular saw blade matches the direction of the
arrow on the blade case.
