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

•
one side and a 25.4 mm (1") diameter on the other.
The side with 25.4 mm (1") diameter is marked by

Use the correct side for the hole diameter of the
blade you intend to use. Mounting the blade on the
wrong side can result in dangerous vibration.
