Mounting direction of the inner flange
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 the circular saw blade and outer flange.

WARNING:
BOLT SECURELY. Also be careful not to tighten
the bolt forcibly. Slipping your hand from the hex
wrench can cause a personal injury.
WARNING:
"a" on the inner flange that is positioned outside
fits into the circular saw blade hole "a" perfectly.
Mounting the blade on the wrong side can result in
the dangerous vibration.
Removing circular saw blade
