Blades

WARNING: To minimize the risk of eye injury, always
use eye protection.Carbide is a hard but brittle
material.Foreign objects in the workpiece such as wire or
nails can cause tips to crack or break.Only operate saw
when proper saw blade guard is in place.Mount blade
securely in proper rotation before using, and always use a
clean, sharpblade.

WARNING: Do not cut ferrous metals(steel), masonry,
glass, masonry-type planking, cement board or tile with
thissaw.
Do not use abrasive wheels or blades.A dull blade will cause
slow inefficient cutting, overload on the saw motor, excessive
splintering, and could increase the possibility ofkickback.
If you need assistance regarding blades, please contact your
local service center listed on the back of themanual.
