Only use sharp and undamaged saw blades. Cracked or bent saw blades must be replaced
immediately.

 Rotate the saw blade by hand while depressing the spindle locking button until the blade
locked. Turn the blade clap bolt anti-clockwise by using the hex key.
 Remove the flange.

Before replacing the saw blade always unplug the tool.
