Ŷ Always use blades with correct size and shape of arbor
holes. Blades that do not match the mounting hardware
of the saw will run eccentrically, causing loss of control.
Ŷ Do not use saw blades with a body thickness greater
or a width of the groove cut (kerf) smaller than the
thickness of the riving knife.
Ŷ Do not use blades of larger or smaller diameter than
recommended. Do not use any loose washers or
spacers to make the blade fit onto the spindle.
Ŷ Check the tips of the saw blade for damage or abnormal
appearance before each use. Tips that are damaged or
loose can become flying objects in use and increase
the risk of personal injury.

recessed sides of the collar are against the blade.
Ŷ Make sure the blade rotates in the correct direction and
does not contact any part of the machine or guarding

turned on so the position of the blade, operation of the
guards with respect to other product parts and work
piece may be checked.
