• Operating Procedures:

– The K12 saw is set up with a carbide tipped rescue blade. This is the only saw in the KFD that is authorized to be equipped with a carbide tip blade.

– The blade guard should be adjusted so that the rear section is flush with the work piece. This allows for debris to be collected by the guard and moved away from the user.
