CAUTION:
• Always clean out all chips or foreign matter adhering to
the blade, blade clamp and/or slider. Failure to do so
may cause insufficient tightening of the blade, resulting
in a serious injury. (Fig. 7)
To install the blade, loosen the screw on the blade clamp

After the pin fits properly into the hole, tighten the screw
clockwise securely. Make sure that the blade cannot be
extracted even though you try to pull it out.
To remove the blade, follow the installation procedure in
reverse.
