Installing the blade
CAUTION: Make sure to install the circular saw
blade so that the direction of the arrow on the blade
matches that on the blade case. Failure to do so may
result in personal injury and cause damage to the tool
and/or the workpiece.
To install the circular saw blade, perform the following
steps:
1. Mount the circular saw blade carefully onto the
inner ange. Make sure that the direction of the arrow
on the circular saw blade matches the direction of the
arrow on the blade case.

CAUTION: When performing a cutting, always
attach the dust bag or connect a vacuum cleaner
to prevent dust-related hazards.
The use of the dust bag makes cutting operations clean
and dust collection easy. To attach the dust bag, remove
the dust extraction hose from the tool and connect the
dust bag to the dust nozzle (upper dust port).
