Procat circular saw blade user manual:
1. Installation and fastening

Ensure your saw is compatible – Check that your circular saw supports the diameter and hole size of the selected saw blade.
Turn off the device and unplug the power cord – Before you start changing the saw blade, make sure your saw is turned off and unplugged (or the battery is removed).
Remove the old blade – Use the key or locking mechanism that came with the circular saw to release the blade.
Insert the new Procat circular saw blade – Attach the blade in the correct direction; on most saws the arrow indicates the cutting direction.
Tighten the blade attachment – ​​Make sure the blade is securely in place before use. If necessary, use a torque wrench to achieve the recommended tightening torque.

2. Things to note during use

Check the condition of the blade before use to ensure there is no damage, such as chips or bends.
Protect your eyes and hands – Wear safety glasses, hearing protection, and protective gloves.
Keep the cutting area clean – Make sure that there are no extra obstacles in the working area that could interfere with the cutting.
Keep hands and body at a safe distance – Never push material too close to the rotating blade with your hands.
Saw with a steady motion – Do not force the saw into the material, but let the blade cut at its own pace, avoiding unnecessary heating.

3. Maintenance and blade life

Clean the blade regularly – Remove wood dust and resin using a suitable cleaning agent.
Sharpen the blade as needed – A dull blade reduces cutting efficiency and can cause a tearing cut. Use a professional sharpening service for best results.
Store in a dry place – Avoid damp and dusty storage conditions to prevent the blade from rusting or dulling prematurely.

Using shims on circular saw blades:
Shims are small metal rings used to adjust the hole size of a circular saw blade to fit the saw shaft. They ensure the stability and safety of the blade when sawing.
Instructions for using matching rings:

Choosing the right adapter ring: Measure the diameter of the saw shaft and choose the right adapter ring. Make sure that the ring fits tightly both in the center hole of the blade and on the saw shaft.

Installing the adapter ring: Place the adapter ring in the center hole of the circular saw blade so that it is evenly seated. Make sure there is no play or looseness in the ring.

Attaching the blade to the saw: Once the adapter ring is in place, install the blade to the saw according to the manufacturer's instructions. Tighten the blade securely, but avoid using excessive force to avoid damaging the blade or saw.

Safety Check: Before starting to cut, make sure the blade is securely fastened and free of wobble. Start the saw and let it run for a moment without load to check that everything is working properly.

Please note that the Procat circular saw blade does not include adapter rings, so they must be purchased separately as needed.

How to choose the right circular saw blade
Choosing the right circular saw blade depends on several factors, including material, cutting accuracy, and compatibility with your circular saw. Below are the most important things to consider:

Blade diameter and center hole

Your circular saw should specify the maximum diameter of the blade. Also, make sure the center hole matches the saw shaft size or use adapter rings as needed.

Tooth profile and toothing

Different tooth profiles affect the cutting result and efficiency. For example:

Blades with ATB (Alternate Top Bevel) teeth are ideal for sawing wood.
Blades with TCG (Triple Chip Grind) teeth are suitable for hard materials such as aluminum and laminate.
Blades with FTG (Flat Top Grind) teeth are particularly suitable for rip sawing.

Number of teeth

The more teeth the blade has, the cleaner the cut. For example:

Blades with few teeth (10-24 teeth) are suitable for fast sawing and tearing.
Blades with dense teeth (40-80 teeth) provide a cleaner cut and are suitable for finishing cuts.

Coating and material

Carbide-tipped blades last longer and provide better cutting performance.
Teflon coating can reduce friction and prevent resin from sticking to the blade.
