"!$& & The saw blade provided on this tool
has a carbide-tipped kerf width of .102” and a plate
(body) thickness that is .071” thick. When looking for
a replacement blade, select one with dimensions
close to the original blade. This information may not
be printed on the blades packaging. If not, check the
manufacturers catalog or website. Bosch offers an
extensive line of Premium-Quality Professional Saw
Blades that match the requirements for this tool. You
must select a blade with a kerf width of .092” or more
and a plate (body) thickness .088” or less (Fig. 10).

.8-01? The kerf of the blade must be wider than
.092”. Extra thin kerf saw blades (less than .092”)
may cause the work piece to bind against the riving
knife during cutting. It is recommended that the kerf
of the replacement blade used on this saw be .092”
or more.

plate thickness is greater than .088”, the riving knife
would not properly serve as an aid to reduce kick-
back. The replacement blade's plate thickness must
be less than .088”.

plates positioned against the sides of the blade to
reduce deflection that may occur when using thin
saw blades. Use of these devices on both sides will
prevent the blade from being properly aligned with
the riving knife, which may bind the work piece dur-
ing cutting. One “stabilizer” plate may be placed only
against the outside of a thin replacement blade.
These plates are not required with the supplied
Bosch blade.
