INSTALLING THE BLADE

The blade screw and nut lock the blade in the holder. The nut has a recess
on one side and the blade screw has a shoulder that fits within this recess.
NOTE: To avoid pinching and breakage of the blade make sure the recess
in the nut faces the screw head and the shoulder on the screw projects
slightly into this recess before installing the blade. Insert the blade into
the blade holder and over the screw, see Fig. 1. Use the wrench furnished
with your saw and apply only enough torque to firmly hold the blade.
NOTE: Do not over tighten as damage to the screw or nut may result.
