For tool with the inner flange for other
than 15.88 mm hole-diameter saw blade
The inner flange has a certain diameter protrusion on one
side of it and a different diameter protrusion on the other side.
Choose a correct side on which protrusion fits into the saw
blade hole perfectly. Mount the inner flange onto the mounting
shaft so that the correct side of protrusion on the inner flange
faces outward and then place saw blade and outer flange.

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.
WARNING:
Make sure that the protrusion "a" on
the inner flange that is positioned outside fits into the
saw blade hole "a" perfectly.
Mounting the blade on the
wrong side can result in the dangerous vibration.
