BLADE
iNFORMATION
o Always use a crosscut blade that is
designed for cutting across the wood
grain. NEVER use Rip, Combination,
Plywood,
Dado or Abrasive type saw
blades at any time
o Always use a 10 in. diameter blade with
either a 5/8" arbor hole, speed rating
must be at least 4800 RPM.
o Read and understand
all instructions
provided with each blade before using
on this miter saw.
There are two main materials
used for
saw blades; high-speed
steel (HSS) and
carbide tipped (TCT). While the HSS
blades are generally
less expensive
than carbide tipped, TCT blades wilt
stay sharper
longer than HSS. As a
general rule the more teeth per inch (TPI)
the smoother
the cut. Please read the
information
provided on the blade for
more details for their use.
General Purpose Wood Cutting: 24 - 40 TPI
Fine Woodworking
Cutting: 60 - 80 TPI

cutting this type of material.
Plastic Cutting:
Use only special blades designed for
cutting plastic.
NOTE: When cutting non-ferrous or
plastic, be sure to clean up completely
after each use. Take special care with
metal shavings
after each cut, these can
cause damage to the table top. ALWAYS
WEAR EYE PROTECTION.
