BLADES
General
• Do not use an overheated blade.
• Make sure that the correct bushing is used for the cutting
blade to be fitted on the machine. See the instructions
under the heading Assembling the cutting blade.
• The blades should be marked with the same or a higher
speed than that stated on the machine’s rating plate.
Never use a blade with a lower speed rating than that of
the machine.
• When using diamond blades make sure that it rotates in
the direction indicated by the arrow on the blade.
• Diamond blades consist of a steel core provided with
segments or a continuous rim containing industrial
diamonds.
Suitable blades
• Ø250 x 25,4 mm or Ø230 x 24,5 mm continous rim blade.
Blades for different materials
• Blade selection should be made according to the material
being cut. Ask your dealer for help in choosing the right
product.
Blade vibrations
• The blade can become out of round and vibrate if a too
high feed pressure is used.
• A lower feed pressure can stop the vibration. Otherwise
replace the blade.
Sharpening diamond blades
• Always use a sharp diamond blade.
• Diamond blades can become dull when the wrong feeding
pressure is used or when cutting certain materials such as
heavily reinforced concrete. Working with a dull diamond
blade causes overheating, which can result in the
diamond segments coming loose.
• Sharpen the blade by cutting in a soft material such as
sandstone or brick.
Transport and storage
• Remove the blade before transportation or storage of the
machine.
• Store the blade in a dry place.
• Inspect new blades for transport or storage damage.
!
WARNING! Blades can break and cause
serious injuries to the user. Diamond blades
become very hot when used. An overheated
blade is a result of improper use, and may
cause deformation of the blade, resulting in
damage and injuries.
!
WARNING! Never use a blade for any other
materials than that it was intended for.
Cutting plastics with a diamond blade can
cause kickback when the material melts due
to the heat produced when cutting and
sticks to the blade. Never cut plastic
materials with a diamond blade!
