When changing blade, make sure to also clean upper
and lower blade guards of accumulated sawdust. Such
efforts do not, however, replace the need to check lower
guard operation before each use.

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.
Next, 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.
