Blades become dull even from cutting regular
lumber. If you find yourself forcing the saw
forward to cut instead of just guiding it through

Remember, blades are designed to cut, so
handle carefully. Wipe the blade with kerosene
or similar solvent to remove the gum and pitch.
Unless you are experienced in sharpening
