NOTE:
If the inner flange is removed be sure to install it on
•
the spindle with its protrusion facing away from the
blade. If the flange is installed incorrectly the
flange will rub against the machine.
WARNING:
Before mounting the blade onto the spindle,
•
always be sure that the correct ring for the
blade's arbor hole you intend to use is installed
between the inner and the outer flanges. Use of
the incorrect arbor hole ring
improper mounting of the blade causing blade
movement and severe vibration resulting in
possible loss of control during operation and in
serious personal injury.
To install the blade, mount it carefully onto the spindle,
making sure that the direction of the arrow on the
surface of the blade matches the direction of the arrow
on the blade case.
Install the outer flange and hex bolt, and then use the
socket wrench to tighten the hex bolt (left-handed)
securely counterclockwise while pressing the shaft lock.

The use of the dust bag makes cutting operations
cleaner and dust collection easier. To attach the dust
bag, fit it onto the dust nozzle.
When the dust bag is about half full, remove the dust
bag from the tool and pull the fastener out. Empty the
dust bag of its contents, tapping it lightly so as to remove
particles adhering to the insides which might hamper
further collection.
NOTE:
If you connect a vacuum cleaner to your saw, cleaner
operations can be performed.
