How to use

Ensure the saw is disconnected from power before fitting the blade. Mount the 160 mm blade onto the saw’s 20 mm arbor, making sure the blade’s rotation direction matches the saw’s arrow marking. Tighten the blade flange to the manufacturer’s torque specification and check for secure installation and runout before powering the tool. When cutting, set blade height and fence or guide for the required cut, feed the workpiece steadily and allow the blade to reach full speed before contact. Use appropriate feed rates to avoid burning the wood or overloading the saw.

Usage recommendations

Use appropriate personal protective equipment including eye and hearing protection. For best results on fine finish cuts, ensure the workpiece is supported and use a zero-clearance insert or sacrificial backing board to reduce splintering. Inspect the blade for damage or dullness before each use and replace when performance degrades.
