What type of blade should I use?

Use a 165 mm blade with a thin kerf and 24 teeth for optimal performance and longer runtime. Choose blades suitable for the material you are cutting.

How do I adjust the cutting depth?

Use the lever or adjustment mechanism on the saw to set the desired cutting depth, referencing the scale on the base.

What safety precautions should I take?
