WARNING:
If the inner flange is removed, be
sure to install it on the spindle. When installing,
choose a correct side on which protrusion fits
into the saw blade hole perfectly.
Mounting the
blade on the wrong side can result in the dangerous
vibration.
To install the circular saw blade, follow the removal
procedure in reverse. Depress the lock-off button to
release the lock pin from the hole.
WARNING:
BE SURE TO TIGHTEN THE HEX
BOLT SECURELY. Also be careful not to tighten
the bolt forcibly. Slipping your hand from the hex
wrench can cause a personal injury.
Blade guard cleaning
When changing the circular saw blade, make sure to
also clean the blade guard of accumulated sawdust as
discussed in the Maintenance section. Such efforts do
not replace the need to check guard operation before
each use.
