Circular saw damage after kickback?

[Tarkers1]

Looks like it's spaced too far from spindle as if it's been built back up wrong. Spacer/washer wrong side of blade.

Definitely looks assembled wrong.
Some of these machines should never reach diyers hands.
There was some chap who even put a circular saw blade into an angle grinder.
He got a kick back which sliced his jugular.

Looking again at the photos the outer side of the blade is missing a flange washer so definitely installed incorrectly.

In image 2560, it looks like you have got...

Flange -> washer -> blade -> bolt

When it should be...

Flange -> blade -> washer -> bolt

well spotted

Woooow I think you guys are totally right. I've been using this thing mis-assembled for years. I checked and yeah the old blade was a little thinner so i guess it never rubbed. Wow that's embarrassing, thanks guys

Well done rsgaz. Sometimes the simplest answers are the right one. He's refitted the new blade the wrong way round.

must get my glasses changed i didnt pick up the blade in the picture at all lol
