How to use

Install the blade on a compatible table or circular saw with a 30 mm arbor following the machine manufacturer's instructions. Ensure the saw is unplugged or the power is switched off before fitting the blade. Check blade rotation direction and secure the blade flange and nut to the specified torque. Set the blade height and fence or miter guide according to the intended cut. For best results, feed workpieces at a steady, moderate speed and use appropriate push sticks or featherboards for small or narrow workpieces.

Usage recommendations

Use suitable personal protective equipment, including eye and hearing protection. Match blade speed and feed rate to the material being cut and replace the blade if signs of wear or damage appear. For laminated or veneered materials, consider using an auxiliary scoring blade or zero-clearance insert to further reduce tear-out.
