CUTTING BLADES

General

!

WARNING! A cutting blade may burst

and cause injury to the operator.

 

The cutting blade manufacturer issues warnings and recommendations for the use and proper care of the cutting blade. Those warnings come with the cutting blade. Read and follow all instructions from the cutting blade manufacturer.

A cutting blade should be checked before it is assembled on the saw and frequently during use. Look for cracks, lost segments (diamond blades) or pieces broken off. Do not use a damaged cutting blade.

Test the integrity of each new cutting blade by running it at full throttle for about 1 minute.

Cutting blades are available in two basic designs; abrasive blades and diamond blades.

High-quality blades are often most economical. Lower quality blades often have inferior cutting capacity and a shorter service life, which results in a higher cost in relation to the quantity of material that is cut.

Make sure that the right bushing is used for the cutting blade to be fitted on the machine. See the instructions under the heading Fitting the cutting blade.

Cutting blades for different materials

WARNING! Never use a cutting blade for

! any other materials than what it was intended to cut.

Never use a diamond blade to cut plastic material. The heat produced during cutting may melt the plastic and it can stick to the cutting blade and cause a kickback.

Cutting metal generates sparks that may cause fire. Do not use the machine near ignitable substances or gases.

Follow the instructions supplied with the cutting blade concerning the suitability of the blade for various applications, or consult your dealer in case of doubts.

Hand held, high speed machines

WARNING! Never use a cutting blade with a

! lower speed rating than that of the power cutter. Only use cutting blades intended for high speed handheld power cutters.

• Many cutting blades that might fit this power cutter are intended for stationary saws and have a lower speed rating than is needed for this hand-held saw. Cutting blades with a lower speed rating shall never be used on this saw.

• Husqvarna cutting blades are manufactured for high- speed, portable power cutters.

• Check that the blade is approved for the same or higher speed according to the aproval plate of the engine. Never use a cutting blade with a lower speed rating than that of the power cutter.

Blade vibration

The blade can become out-of-round and vibrate if an excessive feed pressure is used.

A lower feed pressure can stop the vibration. Otherwise replace the blade.
