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.
