NOTE:
If the inner flange is removed be sure to install it on
•
the spindle with its protrusion facing away from the
blade. If the flange is installed incorrectly the
flange will rub against the machine.
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 movement and severe vibration resulting
in possible loss of control during operation and in serious
personal injury.
To install the blade, mount it carefully onto the spindle, making
sure that the direction of the arrow on the surface of the blade
matches the direction of the arrow on the blade case.
