Direction of rotation of the saw blade
An arrow indicating direction of rotation is marked on every Hilti saw blade. Should the arrow have become illegible,
the direction of rotation can be determined from the diamond segments.
6.1
Sawing efficiently
The shorter the length of segment in contact with the concrete, the greater the material removal performance of
the saw blade. This not only results in greater cutting power, it also greatly reduces the tendency of the segments
to become polished.

Overcutting distance
A short contact length (example B) always results in the shortest possible overcutting distance at the corners of
window and door openings.
