3. Remove the outer flange (pic. 2/2) and take out the old
circular-saw blade (pic. 2/3).
4. Now fit in a new circular-saw blade. Caution! Make sure
the rotation direction is appropriate (see the arrow on the
circular-saw blade).
5. Refit the outer flange (pic. 2/2) and tighten the nut (pic.
2/1). The clearance of the circular-saw blade must be less
than 0.3 mm.
6. Re-screw the sawdust box cover (pic. 1/12).
Circular-saw blade cover installation:
1. Fit the circular-saw blade cover (pic. 3/11) on the splitting
wedge (pic. 3/17) and align it.
2. Put the hex screw (pic. 3/20) through the opening in the
circular-saw blade cover (pic. 3/11) and secure it with a
nut (pic. 3/21) in the splitting wedge (pic. 3/17) 3/21).
