Step 1

              Inner Flange Bushing

Remove the supplied Allen wrench from it’s nesting space in the front of the handle.
If the supplied Allen wrench is missing, a 6mm Allen wrench will suffice.
Depress and hold the spindle lock button located between the handle and blade shroud.
Using the Allen Wrench, unscrew the bolt holding the outer flange, blade (if installed), and inner flange.
If there is a blade currently mounted on your saw, wear gloves.

Step 2

Identify the inner flange bushing. This part sits between the saw and the blade. It has a perfectly round hole in the center with a stepped shoulder as opposed to an angled shoulder found on the outer flange bushing.
Use a flat edge ruler or square to check if the inner flange bushing for warpage. We used a combination square for demonstration purposes, but any straight edge will work. Replace if part is visibly damaged or warped, or if the black finish on the blade side of the bushing is worn away showing bare metal.
