Read warnings and conditions on your CARBIDE TIPPED SAW BLADE. Do not operate the saw without the proper saw blade guard in place. Carbide is a very hard but brittle material. Care should be taken while mounting, using, and storing carbide tipped blades to prevent accidental damage. Slight shocks, such as striking the tip while handling, can seriously damage the blade. Foreign objects in the workpiece, such as wire or nails, can also cause tips to crack or break off. Before using,

always visually examine the blade and tips for bent blade, cracks, breakage, missing or loose tips, or other damage. Do not use if damage is suspected. Failure to heed safety instructions and warnings can result in serious bodily injury.

BLADE INFORMATION

Always use a crosscut blade that is designed for cutting across the wood grain. NEVER use Rip, Combination, Plywood, Dado or Abrasive type saw blades at any time

Always use a 12in diameter blade with either a 1” or 5/8” arbor hole, speed rating must be at least 4800 RPM.

Read and understand all instructions provided with each blade before using on this miter saw.

There are two main materials used for saw blades; high-speed steel (HSS) and carbide tipped (TCT). While the HSS blades are generally less expensive than carbide tipped, TCT blades will stay sharper longer than HSS. As a general rule the more teeth per inch (TPI) the smoother the cut. Please read the information provided on the blade for more details for their use.
