is marked on the tool or specified in the
manual. Use of an incorrectly sized blade may
affect the proper guarding of the blade or guard
operation which could result in serious personal
injury.

pitch hardened on blades slows saw and
increases potential for kickback. Keep blade clean

gum and pitch remover, hot water or kerosene.

when use the tool.

CAUTION:
After adjusting the depth of cut, always tighten the
