of the blade .

Inspect the blade before use. It must not be cracked, warped or damaged in any way that would cause a hazard

in operation. Loose diamond segments can be ejected at high speed, causing possible injury. Always check

that the diamond segments are not under cut. If the diamond segments are thinner or nearly thinner than the

blade core, the kerf will be too tight fitting and could easily lead to kickback.

Ensure that the flanges and blade bore are clean and undamaged and that everything fits properly. The flanges

may not be used if they are warped, the surface is uneven, burred or if they are dirty. The arbor bolt and

arbor threads must be undamaged. Inspect the blades for segment damage, arbor hole damage or any other

damage which could cause hazardous operation.

The protruding edge of the inner flange should be facing the blade. Then mount the blade to the inner flange

and add the outer flange. Add the arbor bolt and tighten to 15-25 Nm.

WARNING: Do not attempt to mount a blade which does not match the mounting hardware. It will lead

to eccentric running and vibration which will be uncontrollable.

ADJUSTING THE BLADE GUARD

The blade rotates clockwise when viewed from the arbor end. Therefore, most of the cutting debris, sparks

and slurry is thrown to the rear. So the blade guard should be adjusted so that the rear edge is flush with the

workpiece.

Blade Guard Locking Lever

TO ADJUST

First pull out the locking lever against the spring tension, then rotate the

blade guard to the desired position. Allow the locking lever to engage the

nearest slot in the guard to lock it into position.

BLADE GUARD BRUSH

There is a removable brush at the rear of the guard to help contain sparks, dust, debris and slurry. To install,

simply push the brush into the slot in the bottom of the dust port bracket until it clicks in place. This brush may

be pulled straight out to replace when worn.

The spring-loaded splash guard is useful to help to contain slurry which splashes toward the back.

To install, simply clip into place on the back of the dust port bracket. To remove, tilt upward to pop free.

If the splash guard is not needed, such as when cutting dry, it may be clipped up out of the way. Simply engage

the male clip on the flap with the female clip on the mount. Unclip to release.

Water is a basic requirement for diamond sawing with wet-type diamond blades. The water serves as a
