Press the shaft lock to lock the spindle and use the
socket wrench to loosen the hex bolt clockwise. Then
remove the hex bolt, outer flange and blade.
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 may
result in the improper mounting of the blade
causing blade movement and severe vibration
resulting in possible loss of control during
operation and in serious personal injury.
