DIAMOND BLADE SAFETY INFO

Diamond
blade
Do's and
Don'ts

DO clean the flanges
before mounting the blade
and check both plate are
the same diameter.

DO ensure that the arrow
on the blade corresponds
with the direction of
rotation of the machine.

DO ensure that the blade
is in balance and running
true. A blade which is out
of balance, means increased wear and even possible destruction of the saw. Ensure that the blade is concentric to within
0.5mm.

DO ensure that the machine bearings and spindle are not worn - or
blade life will be reduced.

DO use the blade with a
gentle reciprocating motion
- especially when cutting
hard materials, and cut in
the direction of the arrow.

DO avoid tilting the blade
when cutting.

DO only use machines that
have an approved safety
guard.

DO remove the diamond
blade from the machine
during transit to prevent
accident damage.

DO inspect blades
frequently to detect cracks
or undercutting of
the steel centre and
segments which could
lead to segment loss.

DO ALWAYS WEAR
APPROPRIATE
PERSONAL
PROTECTIVE
EQUIPMENT
INCLUDING, EAR
AND EYE PROTECTION
PLUS GLOVES AND
SAFETY FOOTWEAR.

DON'T APPLY
PRESSURE AND FORCE
YOUR DIAMOND BLADE
THROUGH THE CUT.
The weight of the machine
will suffice. INCREASED
PRESSURE MEANS
INCREASED WEAR.

DON'T let excessive heat
be generated at the cutting
edge of the blade.

DON'T use your blades on
metals or other
unsuitable materials. If you
have any doubt please
contact Customer Services.
