measures reduce the risk of starting the tool
accidentally.
BLADES AND BLADE SELECTION
The blade dimensions required for this saw is:
.020" thickness, 1/2" wide and 28-3/4" in
length. The .020" thickness reduces blade
fatique and provide maximum tooth life. To
maximum cutting life, use a blade with correct
pitch (teeth per inch) for the specific cutting job.
10 Teeth per inch
14 Teeth per inch
18 Teeth per inch
24 Teeth per inch
Blade are available in several pitches. To
select the proper blade, three factors should be
considered: The size, shape, and type of
material to be cut.
The following suggestions are for selecting the
right blade for various cutting operations. Keep
in mind that these are broad guide lines and

that blade requirement vary depending upon
specific size, shape and type of material to be
cut.
Generally, soft materials require coarse pitch
blade and hard materials require fine pitch
blades. Use coarse pitch blades for thick wood
and fine pitch blades for thin work. It is
important to keep at least three teeth in the cut
(see "Typical Application".)
REMOVING BLADE
1. Use #2 phillips to remove mounting screws
and remove protective cover plates (Fig. 2).
2. Turn tension lock handle located on the front
of the saw 180° clockwise to release blade
tension (Fig. 1).
3. Pull blade out of the guides and remove
blade from the pulleys (Fig. 3).
INSTALLING BLADE
1. Firmly press the blade between the guides
and place the blade around the pulleys.
Note: be sure teeth face out (Fig. 3).
2. Turn tension lock handle 180° counter-
clockwise to secure the blade on the pullleys
(Fig. 1).
3. Re-install protective cover plates (Fig. 2).
4. Be sure the blade lies freely within the guard
channel before starting the saw.
BE SURE THAT THE BLADE IS
PROPERLY SEATED ON THE PULLEYS
BEFORE STARTING THE CUT.
