BLADE SELECTION
To obtain the best performance from the saw, it is
important to select a specific blade for the particular
application and type of material you wish to cut. By doing
this you will get a smoother, faster cut and prolong blade
life. Replacement blades for this saw are available from
your nearest Sears retail. It is recommended you use a
T-shank blade. If a T-shank blade is not available, a high
quality U-shank may be used.
