Extra Information
- Ideal for builders, carpenters, joinery teams and challenging site environments where dependable blades matter.
- Recommended for cutting softwood, many hardwoods (check individual material suitability), plywood, chipboard and standard construction-board panels.
- Use with circular saws rated for 165mm blades and correct bore size; always check your saw’s maximum RPM and guard configuration.
- To extend blade life: maintain clean blade surfaces, clear resin and pitch build-up, align the saw base plate and fence accurately and store the blade safely when not in use.
Pro Tip
- When sizing sheet materials or cross-cutting timber on site, clamp a straight-edge guide and run a shallow cut first. Then finish the cut in one pass with the Contractor blade—this method combined with the 24-tooth geometry will give clean edges with minimal sanding and help you stay ahead on site.

Safety
- Wear eye, ear and dust protection when cutting to guard against flying chips, noise and fine dust.
- Always disconnect the saw from its power source before fitting, adjusting or removing the blade.
- Ensure the blade is mounted correctly–verify the rotation arrow aligns with the saw’s direction, and all guards and flanges are securely tightened.
- Use supports for the workpiece, keep hands well clear of the cutting line and avoid pinching or binding during the cut.
- Allow the blade to reach full speed before entering the cut and only set the saw down once the blade has stopped completely.
