CUTTING BLADES

Diamond blades and cooling

During cutting the friction in the cut causes the diamond blade to be heated up. If the blade is allowed to get too hot this can result in loss of blade tensioning or core cracking.

Diamond blades for dry cutting

Although no water is required for cooling, dry cutting blades must be cooled with air flow around the blades. For this reason dry cutting blades are recommended only for intermittent cutting. Every few seconds of cutting the blade should be allowed to run 'free” with no load to allow the air flow around the blade to dissipate the heat.

Diamond blades for wet cutting

Wet cutting diamond blades must be used with water to keep the blade core and segments cool during sawing.

Wet cutting blades should NOT be used dry.

Using wet cutting blades without water can cause excessive heat build-up, resulting in poor performance, severe blade damage and is a safety hazard.

Water cooling cools the blade and increases its service life while also reducing the formation of dust.

Toothed blades, carbide tipped blades and emergency situations

Carbide tipped specialty blades are intended only for use in rescue missions and only by trained staff.

Transport and storage

Do not store or transport the power cutter with the cutting blade fitted. All blades should be removed from the cutter after use and stored carefully.

Store cutting blades in dry, frost free conditions. Special care should be taken with abrasive blades. Abrasive blades must be stored on a flat, level surface. If an abrasive blades is stored in humid conditions, this can cause imbalance and result in injury.

Inspect new blades for transport or storage damage.
