A WARNING: A 10 in. blade is the maximum blade capacity of your saw. Never use a blade that is too thick to allow outer blade washer to
engage with the flats on the spindle. Larger blades will come in contact with the blade
guards, while thicker blades will prevent the blade screw from securing the blade on the spindle. Either of these situations could result in a serious accident and can cause serious personal injury.
•Unplug your saw.

serious personal injury.
