USING CARBIDE-TIPPED BLADES
Handle carbide-tipped blades carefully. Carbide
is very brittle and can be easily damaged.
Use caution when you install, use or store the
blades.
Do not use a carbide-tipped blade that is bent
or has bent teeth, or if the blade has cracks, is
broken, or has missing/loose carbide tips. Do

Fig. 7d
not operate a carbide-tipped blade faster than
its recommended speed. When selecting a
blade, ensure it is rated above 6000 RPM and
the diameter of the blade matches the markings
on the saw and the bore diameter 5/8ʺ (15.88
mm).
Read, understand, and follow all warnings and
instructions provided with your carbide-tipped
blades.
