TOOL ASSEMBLY

WARNING!

To reduce the risk of injury, always unplug tool before attaching or removing accessories or mak- ing adjustments. Use only specifically recom- mended accessories. Others may be hazardous.

Selecting Blade

Always use sharp blades. Dull blades tend to overload the tool and increase the chance of KICKBACK (see "Causes and Operator Preven- tion of Kickback"). Only use blades with a maximum safe operating speed greater than the no load RPM marked on the tool's nameplate. Read the blade manufacturer's instructions before use.
