WARNING:
If the ring is needed to mount 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.
For tool with the inner flange for
other than 20 mm or 15.88 mm
holediameter saw blade
Country specific
The inner flange has a
certain diameter of a blade
mounting part on one side of it and a different diameter
of blade mounting part on the other side. Choose a
correct
side on which blade
mounting part fits into the
saw blade hole perfectly.

Dust bag
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
