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 not operate a carbide-tipped blade faster
than its recommended speed. When selecting a
blade, ensure it is rated above 5000 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.
