Reconstructing the blade

WARNING! Ring cutter blades must not be

!reconstructed. Due to its design, a ring cutter blade is exposed to other strains than a centre driven 14 inch diamond blade. Firstly, the drive wheel is driven on the inner diameter of the blade so that both the surfaces of the drive wheel and the blade are exposed to wear. The core of the blade becomes thinner and the guide wider, which prevents the blade being driven by the wheel. Secondly, the blade is exposed to loads from the rollers and from the actual cutting process when the blade is not held completely straight. Strain builds up in the blade until it cracks or breaks if it has been reconstructed. A shattered blade can cause serious personal injuries to the user or other persons. For this reason Husqvarna does not approve ring cutting blades that have been reconstructed. Contact your Husqvarna dealer for instructions.
