All saw blades are danger-
ous and may cause per-
sonal injury. To reduce the
risk of being injured, wear
leather gloves when han-

flange during operation could lead to blade
and wheel damage.

for detailed instructions).
11. Check/adjust the upper and lower blade
supports/guides (refer to
Adjusting Blade
