or flaws in the steel centered core and/or rim. Center (arbor) hole must be undamaged and
true. Examine blade flanges for damage, excessive wear and cleanliness before mounting
blade. Blade should fit snugly on the shaft and against the inside/outside blade flanges.
■
Ensure that the blade is marked with an operating speed greater than the blade shaft speed of
the saw.
■
Only cut the material that is specified by the diamond blade. Read the specifications of the
diamond blade to ensure the proper tool has been matched to the material being cut.

ALWAYS keep blade guards in place. Exposure of the diamond blade must not exceed 180
degrees.

Ensure that the diamond blade does not come into contact with ground or surface during
transportation. DO NOT drop the diamond blade on ground or surface.
■
The engine governor is designed to permit maximum engine speed in a no-load condition.
Speeds that exceed this limit may cause the diamond blade to exceed the maximum safe
allowable speed.
■
Ensure that the blade is mounted for proper operating direction.
