Diamond Blades
WARNING
•
DO NOT exceed the blade’s
maximum recommended
speed when cutting.
Excessive blade speeds can cause
blade breakage, resulting in serious
injuries and/or death!
•
DO NOT use damaged blades when
cutting to avoid harming yourself, others,
or the saw.
•
Always use an appropriate size blade
and the correct blade type based on the
cutting task and the type of material
being cut.
Using the proper blade (size and type)
preserves the blade and improves cutting and
operator efficiency, resulting in lower costs.
Refer to the Association of Equipment
Manufacturers (AEM) safety brochure for
diamond blades or www.diamondproducts.com
for additional blade information.
Inspecting the Blade

discard all damaged blades. Inspect all blades
for:

edge of the blade

Uneven side-widths
Blade Speed
Refer to the blade packaging information or to
the information printed on the blade for the
maximum recommended blade speeds when

recommended speed while cutting. DO NOT
use a blade that is rated with a lower maximum
operating speed than the blade shaft speed.
Installing the Blade
WARNING
•
DO NOT install a blade with
the engine/motor running.
Failure to properly secure the outer
flange and blade may cause parts to
