	face is clean and free of debris and is placed flush against
	the diamond blade (7). Check that the drive pin goes through
	the blade pin hole (6) and seats properly into the inner
	flange (8).
5.	Blade Pin Hole – Align this hole with the drive pin hole on
	the inner flange collar.
6.	Diamond Blade – Ensure that the proper blade has been
	selected for the job. Pay close attention to the directional
	arrow on the blade, clockwise for right-sidecutting,
	counter-clockwise for left-side cutting. The arbor hole
	of the blade must match the 1" arbor of the blade shaft.
7.	Inner Flange Collar – This flange is fixed upon the blade
	shaft, and is manufactured with a drive pin hole.The inside
	surface of the flange must be free of debris and permit a
	tight closure on the surface of the blade.
