Even the best of saw blades will not cut efficiently
unless it is kept clean, sharp
and properly
set.
Using a dull blade places a heaw load on the saw and increases the danger of
kickback.
Keep extra blades on hand, so sharp blades are always available.
Gum and wood pitch hardened on the blade slows the saw down.
Use gum and
pitch remover,
hot water or kerosene to remove them. DO NOT USE GASOLINE.
