IMpORTANT: The saw blade provided on this tool has a carbide-tipped kerf width of .102” and a plate (body) thickness that is .071” thick. When looking for a replacement blade, select one with dimensions close to the original blade. This information may not be printed on the blades packaging. If not, check the manufacturers catalog or website. Bosch offers an extensive line of Premium-Quality Professional Saw Blades that match the requirements for this tool. You must select a blade with a kerf width of .092” or more and a plate (body) thickness .088” or less (Fig. 10).

To reduce the risk of injury, do not use extra thin kerf saw blades. The kerf of the blade must be wider than

.092”. Extra thin kerf saw blades (less than .092”) may cause the work piece to bind against the riving knife during cutting. It is recommended that the kerf of the replacement blade used on this saw be .092” or more.

! WARNING

To reduce the risk of injury, do

2

not use saw blades made with a

1

thick body plate. If the replacement saw blade's

 

plate thickness is greater than .088”, the riving knife

 

would not properly serve as an aid to reduce kick-

 

back. The replacement blade's plate thickness must

 

be less than .088”.

 

! WARNING

To reduce the risk of injury, do

 

 

not use blade “dampeners,”

 

“stabilizers,” or “stiffening collars” on both

 

sides of a replacement blade. These are metal

 

plates positioned against the sides of the blade to

 

reduce deflection that may occur when using thin

 

saw blades. Use of these devices on both sides will

 

prevent the blade from being properly aligned with

 

the riving knife, which may bind the work piece dur-

 

ing cutting. One “stabilizer” plate may be placed only

3

against the outside of a thin replacement blade.

 

These plates are not required with the supplied

Bosch blade.
