SELECTING BLADES
Selecting the correct type of blade is
important in order to obtain the best on the
material you wish to cut. Selecting the right
blade will give you a smoother, faster cut and
prolong the life of the blade.
Blades with fewer teeth, 6 teeth per inch (TPI)
are typically used for cutting wood, while
blades with more teeth are better for cutting
metal or plastic. We recommend 14 TPI for
plastics and soft metals and 24 TPI for hard
metals.
INSTALLING/REMOVING BLADE
See Figure 4, page ii.
WARNING
inserting the blade to avoid contact between
your fingers and the blade teeth. The blade
teeth are sharp and can inflict serious cuts.
