▼ USING THE CORRECT BlADE

IMpORTANT: The saw blade provided on this
tool has a carbide-tipped kerf width of .102"
and a plate (body) thickness that is .071"
thick. When looking for a replacement blade,
select one with dimensions close to the orig-
inal blade. This information may not be
printed on the blades packaging. If not, check
the manufacturers catalog or website. Bosch
offers an extensive line of Premium-Quality
Professional Saw Blades that match the re-
quirements for this tool. You must select a
blade with a kerf width of .092" or more and
a plate (body) thickness .088" or less (Fig.
10).
kerf saw blades. The kerf of the blade must
be wider than .092". Extra thin kerf saw
blades (less than .092") may cause the work
piece to bind against the riving knife during
cutting. It is recommended that the kerf of
the replacement blade used on this saw be
.092" or more.
blades made with a thick body plate. If the
replacement saw blade's plate thickness is
greater than .088", the riving knife would not
properly serve as an aid to reduce kickback.

against the sides of the blade to reduce de-
flection that may occur when using thin saw
blades. Use of these devices on both sides
will prevent the blade from being properly
aligned with the riving knife, which may bind
the work piece during cutting. One "stabi-
lizer" plate may be placed only against the
outside of a thin replacement blade. These
plates are not required with the supplied
