OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS 1. Blade Selection To obtain the best performance from the saw, it is important to select the correct blade for the particular application and type of material to be cut. Blades with fewer teeth, e.g., 7 teeth per inch (TPI), are typically used for cutting wood; blades with more teeth per inch are better for cutting metal or plastic. We recommend 14 TPI blades for plastics and soft metals and 18 TPI blades for hard metals. 2.

Failure to do so could result in serious personal injury.
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS NOTICE: When sawing fiberglass, plaster, wallboard, or spackling compound, clean the motor vents frequently with a vacuum or with compressed air.
