*IMPORTANT: DO NOT over tighten the
nylon screws or you risk stripping the
screws.
Installing the BladeSert
*IMPORTANT - MUST READ: With use
and over time, the BladeSert will wear
and the split that the blade passes
through will widen. How fast this
happens depends on use and your
sawing style. Use of a worn BladeSert
allows for excess play in the blade,
which can cause the blade to break.
Check the BladeSert for wear each
time you use the saw. Replace it when
it starts to show signs of widening and
wear. Use the “X” behind the split as
your wear guide. When the split has
widened beyond the legs of the “X”
(Fig. F), replace it. Good practice is to
use a new BladeSert whenever you
install a new blade.
