WARNING:
BE SURE TO TIGHTEN THE HEX
BOLT CLOCKWISE SECURELY. Also be careful
not to tighten the bolt forcibly. Slipping your hand
from the hex wrench can cause a personal injury.
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 seri-
ous personal injury.
Blade guard cleaning
When changing the circular saw blade, make sure to
also clean the upper and lower blade guards of accu-
mulated sawdust as discussed in the Maintenance
section. Such efforts do not replace the need to check
lower guard operation before each use.
Hex wrench storage
When not in use, store the hex wrench as shown in the
figure to keep it from being lost.

Do not use the dust nozzle with the long lever attached.
You will not be able to make a cut because the lower
guard movement is hindered by the dust nozzle.
