WARNING! Blades can break and cause
!
serious injuries to the user. Diamond
blades become very hot when used. An
overheated blade is a result of improper
use, and may cause deformation of the
blade, resulting in damage and injuries.
•
Do not use an overheated blade.
•
Make sure that the correct bushing is used for the
cutting blade to be fitted on the machine. See the
instructions under the heading Assembling the cutting
blade.
•
The blades should be marked with the same or a
higher speed than that stated on the machine's rating
plate. Never use a blade with a lower speed rating
than that of the machine.

Diamond blades consist of a steel core provided with
segments or a continuous rim containing industrial
diamonds.

Blades for different materials
WARNING! Never use a blade for any
!
other materials than that it was intended
for.

can cause kickback when the material
melts due to the heat produced when
cutting and sticks to the blade. Never cut
plastic materials with a diamond blade!

BLADES
Blade vibrations
•
The blade can become out of round and vibrate if a
too high feed pressure is used.
•
A lower feed pressure can stop the vibration.
Otherwise replace the blade.
Sharpening diamond blades
•
Always use a sharp diamond blade.
•
Diamond blades can become dull when the wrong
feeding pressure is used or when cutting certain
materials such as heavily reinforced concrete.
Working with a dull diamond blade causes
overheating, which can result in the diamond
segments coming loose.
•
Sharpen the blade by cutting in a soft material such as
sandstone or brick.
Transport and storage
•
Remove the blade before transportation or storage of
the machine.
•
Store the blade in a dry place.
•
Inspect new blades for transport or storage damage.
