To install the circular saw blade, follow the removal
procedure in reverse.
Align the direction of the arrow on the circular saw blade
with the arrow on the tool.
For tool with the inner flange for other
than 15.88 mm hole-diameter saw blade
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 circular 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.
