Using the correct Blade

Assembly and Adjustments

Blade dimensions: 4-3/8” (110mm) diameter 3/4” Arbor

MIN RPM 11,000/min

impoRTANT: The saw blade provided on this tool has a carbide-tipped kerf width of .078” (2mm) and a plate (body) thickness that is .047” (1.2mm) 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. Skil 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 .061” or more and a plate (body) thickness .057” or less (Fig. 3).

To reduce the risk of injury, do not use extra thin kerf saw blades. The kerf of the blade must be wider than .061”. Extra thin kerf

saw blades (less than .061”) 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 .061” or more.

To reduce the risk of injury, do not use saw blades made with a thick body plate. If the replacement saw blade's plate thickness

is greater than .057”, the riving knife would not properly serve as an aid to reduce kickback. The replacement blade's plate thickness must be less than .057”.
