Why are there an increasing number of blade breaks when using my Pela Tools Saw?

If you notice an increasing number of blade breaks while using your Pela Tools Saw, it could be due to several reasons. First, ensure the workpiece is firmly secured in the vice. If the material is stable, check the speed and feed settings and adjust them if they are incorrect. Also, the blade's teeth might be too large for the material; if so, switch to a finer blade. For hard materials, use a slower speed and a finer tooth blade. Ensure the blade tension is correctly adjusted to prevent slipping on the wheel. Start the saw before the blade contacts the workpiece. Finally, check if the blade rubs against the wheel flange or if the guide bearings are defective, and adjust the wheel alignment or guide bearings accordingly.
