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 hole size.
Turn off the device and unplug it – Before swapping the blade, ensure the saw is off and disconnected from power (or battery removed).
Remove the old blade – Use the key or locking mechanism that came with your circular saw to release the blade.
Install the new Procat circular saw blade – Attach it right-side up; on most saws, the arrow points to the cutting direction.
Tighten the blade securely – Make sure it's firmly in place before use. 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 with the 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 cut at its own pace to avoid unnecessary heat.

3. Maintenance and blade life

Clean the blade regularly – Remove wood dust and resin using a suitable cleaner.
Sharpen the blade as needed – A dull blade cuts less efficiently and can tear the material. Use a pro sharpening service for the best results.
Store in a dry place – Avoid damp or dusty storage 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 hole size to fit the saw's arbor. They ensure the blade is stable and safe while cutting.
Instructions for using adapter rings:

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

Installing the adapter ring: Place the ring in the circular saw blade's center hole so it's even and secure. Ensure no play or looseness.

Attaching the blade to the saw: Once the adapter ring is in, install the blade per the manufacturer's instructions. Tighten it firmly but avoid overdoing it to prevent damage to the blade or saw.

Safety check: Before starting to cut, confirm the blade is securely attached with no wobble. Start the saw and let it run for a bit without load to check everything's good.

Remember, 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 factors like material, cut precision, and compatibility with your saw. Here are the key things to consider:

Blade diameter and center hole

Your circular saw determines the max allowed blade diameter. Also, ensure the center hole matches the arbor size or use adapter rings if needed.

Tooth profile and tooth count

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

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

Number of teeth

More teeth mean a cleaner cut. For instance:

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