Using the correct Blade
Blade dimensions: 4-3/8” (110mm) diameter
3/4” Arbor
MIN RPM 11,000/min
impoRTANT: The saw blade provided on this tool has a
carbide-tipped kerf width of .078” (2mm) and a plate (body)
thickness that is .047” (1.2mm) thick. When looking for a
replacement blade, select one with dimensions close to the
original blade. This information may not be printed on the
blades packaging. If not, check the manufacturers catalog
or website. Skil offers an extensive line of Premium-Quality
Professional Saw Blades that match the requirements for
this tool. You must select a blade with a kerf width of .061”
or more and a plate (body) thickness .057” or less (Fig. 3).
To reduce the risk of injury, do not
use extra thin kerf saw blades. The
kerf of the blade must be wider than .061”. Extra thin kerf
saw blades (less than .061”) may cause the work piece to
bind against the riving knife during cutting. It is
recommended that the kerf of the replacement blade used
on this saw be .061” or more.
To reduce the risk of injury, do not
use saw blades made with a thick
body plate. If the replacement saw blade's plate thickness
is greater than .057”, the riving knife would not properly
serve as an aid to reduce kickback. The replacement
blade's plate thickness must be less than .057”.
changing the Blade

1. Slide the saw assembly back to its farest position. This is

bolt clockwise to remove it.
