IMPORTANT:
Operating with a loose blade holder can cause damage to the splined connection. To ensure proper seating between the blade holder and output shaft, two initial tightenings are required. Retighten after one hour and again after the first day of operation. In severe cutting conditions, recheck torque every 50 hours.
