across the wood grain. NEVER use Rip, Combination,
Plywood, Dado or Abrasive type saw blades at any time.
• Always use a 10 in. diameter blade with either a 5/8"
arbor hole, speed rating must be at least 4800 RPM.
• Read and understand all instructions provided with each
blade before using on this miter saw.
There are two main materials used for saw blades;
high-speed steel (HSS) and carbide tipped (TCT). While
the HSS blades are generally less expensive than carbide
tipped, TCT blades will stay sharper longer than HSS. As a
general rule the more teeth per inch (TPI) the smoother the
cut. Please read the information provided on the blade for
more details for their use.
General Purpose Wood Cutting: 24 - 40 TPI
Fine Woodworking Cutting: 60 - 80 TPI
Non-ferrous Metal Cutting:
Use only special blades designed for cutting this

NOTE: When cutting non-ferrous or plastic, be sure to clean
