SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Diamond blades
Diamond blades consist of a steel body provided with segments that contain industrial diamonds.
Diamond blades ensure lower costs per cutting operation, fewer blade changes and a constant cutting depth.
When using diamond blades make sure that it rotates in the direction indicated by the arrow on the blade.
Always use a sharp diamond blade. Sharpen the blade by cutting in a soft material such as sandstone or brick.
Diamond blades are available in several hardness classes. A "soft" diamond blade has a relatively short service life and large cutting capacity. It is used for hard materials such as granite and hard concrete. A "hard" diamond blade has a longer service life and reduced cutting capacity, and should be used for soft materials such as brick and asphalt.
Material
Diamond blades are ideal for masonry, reinforced concrete and other composite materials. Diamond blades are not recommended for cutting metal.
Diamond blades for wet cutting
WARNING! Cool diamond blades for wet
!cutting continuously with water to prevent overheating, which can cause the blade to break up and eject pieces that can cause injury.
Diamond blades for wet cutting should have water poured over them during the cutting to cool the blade and bond the dust.
Diamond blades for dry cutting
Diamond blades for dry cutting are a new generation of blades that do not require water cooling. However, the blades will still be damaged by excessive heat. It is most economical to allow the blade to cool by simply lifting it out from the cut every 30– 60 seconds and letting it rotate in the air for 10 seconds.
