TOOL ASSEMBLY
Selecting Blade
Always use sharp blades. Dull blades tend
to overload the tool and increase the chance
of KICKBACK (see "Causes and Operator
Prevention of KICKBACK"). Only use thin
kerf 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. Do
not use any type of abrasive cut-off wheel or
dry diamond cutting blades.
