Slide blade 13 through slot in the foot
10 and mount it against the inner washer
25 on the shaft 26. Be sure the large
diameter of the outer washer 12 lays
flush against the blade (Fig. 2).

COUNTER-CLOCKWISE 1/4 TURN WITH
THE WRENCH PROVIDED (Fig. 2).
Do not use wrenches with longer handles,
since it may lead to over tightening of the
VARI-TORQUE CLUTCH
blade stud.
This clutching action is provided by the
friction of the outer washer 12 against the
blade 13 and permits the blade shaft to turn
when the blade encounters excessive
resistance. When the blade stud 11 is
properly tightened (as described in No. 5 of
Attaching The Blade), the blade will slip when
it encounters ex cessive resistance, thus
reducing saw's tendency to KICKBACK.
One setting may not be sufficient for
cutting all materials. If ex cessive blade
slippage occurs, tighten the blade stud a
fraction of a turn more (less than 1/8 turn).
