NOTICE:
If the inner flange is removed, be sure
to install it on the spindle with its protrusion fac-
ing away from the blade.
If the flange is installed
incorrectly, the flange will rub against the machine.
Return the blade guard and center cover to its original
position. Then tighten the hex bolt clockwise to secure
the center cover. Unlock the stopper pin to release
carriage from the raised position. Lower the handle to
make sure that the blade guard moves properly. Make
sure shaft lock has released spindle before making cut.
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 move-
ment and severe vibration resulting in possible loss
of control during operation and in serious personal
injury.

When the dust bag is about half full, remove the dust
bag from the tool and pull the fastener out. Empty

remove particles adhering to the insides which might
hamper further collection.
