the saw blade.

affect the proper guarding of the blade or guard
operation which could result in serious personal

pitch hardened on blades slows saw and
increases potential for kickback. Keep blade
clean by first removing it from tool, then cleaning
it with gum and pitch remover, hot water or
kerosene. Never use gasoline.
