One other issue could be at play here especially if this is your first time setting a saw.
If you apply set in the wrong direction, a tooth is more likely to break. You may have tried to set a “left-leaning” tooth to the right (or vice-versa). The extra deflection created by bending a tooth the other direction can cause fracture.
