saw blade
The inner flange has a certain diameter protrusion on
one side of it and a different diameter protrusion on the
other side. Choose a correct side on which protrusion
fits into the saw blade hole perfectly. Mount the inner
flange onto the mounting shaft so that the correct side
of protrusion on the inner flange faces outward and then
place saw blade and outer flange.
