e. Slide the blade through the slot in the foot
and mount it against the inner washer on the

the blade bolt, then tighten the blade bolt 1/8
turn (45°) with the blade wrench (this ensures
slippage of the saw blade when it encounters
excessive resistance, thus reducing motor
overload and saw kickback).
NOTICE: Do not use a blade wrench with
a longer handle, since it may lead to over
tightening of the blade bolt.
