Blades
WARNING: To minimize the risk of eye injury, always
use eye protection. Carbide is a hard but brittle material.
Foreign objects in the workpiece such as wire or nails
can cause tips to crack or break. Only operate saw when
proper saw blade guard is in place. Mount blade securely
in proper rotation before using, and always use a clean,
sharp blade.
WARNING: Do not cut ferrous metals (steel), masonry,
glass, masonry-type planking, cement board or tile with
this saw.
Do not use abrasive wheels or blades. A dull blade will cause
slow inefficient cutting, overload on the saw motor, excessive
splintering, and could increase the possibility of kickback.
If you need assistance regarding blades, please call contact your
local service center listed on the back of the manual.
