ASSEMBLY
WARNING To reduce the risk of injury,
always unplug tool before attaching or remov-
ing accessories or making adjustments. Use
only specifi cally recommended accessories.
Others may be hazardous.
Selecting Blade
Always use sharp blades. Dull blades tend to
overload the tool and increase the chance of kick-
back (see “Preventing Kickback”). A combination
blade is included with your tool for general use in
wood. Select the right blade for your job. Read the
manufacturer’s instructions before use.
