# Inserting/changing the saw blade

- When fitting or changing the saw blade, wear protective gloves. Blades are sharp and can become hot when used for prolonged periods of time.

- Avoid contact with the skin when changing a saw blade and use protective gloves in perfect condition. The saw blade can become hot when in operation for a long time.

- Do not pull on the chain and do not pull the chain off the guide unit.

Always replace a complete saw blade with another complete saw blade. The chain cannot be replaced on its own.

##

Only use saw blades that are suitable for the material you are going to cut. The saw blade should not be longer than required for the cut you want to make.
