BLADE SELECTION (FIG. R)
Blade teeth are sharp. Use care when handling
a saw blade.
For longest wear and best cutting results,
use the correct blade thickness, width, and
temper for the type of material you will cut.
When sawing small curves and delicate work,
use narrow blades. Otherwise, use the widest
blade as possible. (Please refer Fig. Q)
For cutting wood and similar materials with
this band saw, purchase blades in width up
to 1/2 in. (12.7 mm), and a length of
93-1/2 in. (2,374.9 mm).
Do not cut metals with this band saw.
