How to use the Procat circular saw blade:
1. Installation and securing

Check your saw's compatibility – Make sure your circular saw supports the blade's diameter and arbor size.
Turn off the tool and unplug it – Before swapping the blade, ensure the saw is off and disconnected from power (or remove the battery).
Remove the old blade – Use the key or locking mechanism that came with your saw to release the blade.
Install the new Procat circular saw blade – Fit it on correctly, right side up; in most saws, the arrow points to the cutting direction.
Tighten the blade securely – Make sure it's firmly in place before using. Use a torque wrench if needed to hit the recommended tightness.

2. Things to keep in mind while using

Check the blade's condition before use to ensure no damage like chips or bends.
Protect your eyes and hands – Wear safety glasses, ear protection, and gloves.
Keep the cutting area clear – Make sure there are no extra obstacles that could mess up your cut.
Keep hands and body at a safe distance – Never push material by hand too close to the spinning blade.
Cut with a steady motion – Don't force the saw into the material; let the blade do its thing to avoid unnecessary heat.

3. Maintenance and blade life

Clean the blade regularly – Remove wood dust and resin using a suitable cleaner.
Sharpen when needed – A dull blade cuts less efficiently and can tear the wood. Use a pro sharpening service for the best results.
Store in a dry place – Avoid damp or dusty spots to prevent rust or premature dulling.

Using adapter rings with circular saw blades:
Adapter rings are small metal rings used to adjust the blade's arbor hole to fit the saw's spindle. They ensure the blade stays secure and safe while cutting.
How to use adapter rings:

Choosing the right adapter ring: Measure your saw's spindle diameter and pick a matching ring. Ensure it fits snugly in both the blade's center hole and the saw's spindle.

Installing the adapter ring: Place the ring into the blade's center hole evenly. Make sure there's no play or looseness.

Securing the blade to the saw: Once the ring is in, install the blade following the manufacturer's instructions. Tighten it firmly but don't overdo it to avoid damaging the blade or saw.

Safety check: Before starting, ensure the blade is secure with no wobble. Run the saw for a bit without load to check everything's good.

Note that the Procat circular saw blade doesn't include adapter rings, so grab them separately if you need 'em.

How to pick the right circular saw blade
Choosing the right circular saw blade depends on stuff like the material, cut precision, and compatibility with your saw. Here's the key things to consider:

Blade diameter and arbor hole

Your circular saw sets the max blade diameter it can handle. Also ensure the arbor hole matches the spindle size, or use adapter rings as needed.

Tooth profile and configuration

Different tooth profiles affect the cut finish and speed. For example:

ATB (Alternate Top Bevel) teeth are ideal for cutting wood.
TCG (Triple Chip Grind) teeth work well on tough materials like aluminum and laminate.
FTG (Flat Top Grind) teeth are great for rough ripping cuts.

Number of teeth

More teeth mean a cleaner cut. For instance:

Low tooth count (10-24 teeth) blades are for fast, rough cuts and ripping.
High tooth count (40-80 teeth) blades give smoother finishes and are for finish cuts.

Coating and material

Carbide-tipped blades last longer and cut better.
Teflon coating reduces friction and stops resin from sticking.
