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.
Using the proper blade (size and type)
preserves the blade and improves efficiency,
resulting in lower costs. Refer to the
Association of Equipment Manufacturers
(AEM) safety brochure for diamond blades and
www.diamondproducts.com for additional
blade information
.
Inspecting the Blade
Inspect each blade prior to installation and
discard all damaged blades. Inspect the blades
for:
•
Cracks, nicks, and dents
•
A damaged/deformed arbor (center hole)
•
Darkness/discoloration near edge of blade
•
A deformed blade circumference
•
Segment loss/cracks
•
Core wear
•
Bending
•
Uneven side-widths
Blade Speed
Refer to the CC9074 Deep Cut RPM Chart,
located in Appendix B at the end of this
manual, the blade, or the blade packaging
information for the recommended blade
speeds when cutting. DO NOT exceed the
maximum recommended blade speed. DO
NOT use a blade for cutting that requires a
lower speed than the minimum blade shaft
speed.
Wrench
Use the wrench provided when installing or
removing a blade. Apply force to the opposite
end of the wrench and tighten the blade shaft
bolt/screw to 125 ft-lb (170 Nm) minimum to
secure the outer flange and blade.
