11.1 SUBSTITUTING A DETERIORATED BLADE
The cutting blade is one of the most important elements of a cutting table. A blade in good condition is
essential to get an optimal performance of the machine. Replace it when worn-out, twisted or cracked.
Do not use any kind of blade that is not specified in this manual and make sure the blade has the required
characteristics of the maximum diameter, central drill diameter and the maximum number of revolutions supported.

cut. Choose always the most appropriate to your case.
As mentioned before, we recommend you to use always SIMA ORIGINAL DISCS that meet the technical and
safety requirements and are offered in a wide range that covers all the needs and facilitates the right choice.
