Knowledge of Dry Cutting

1. Do clean the flanges before mounting the blade and check both plates are the same diameter.
2. Do ensure that the blade is correct for the material being cut.
3. Do ensure that the arrow on the blade corresponds with the direction of rotation of the machine spindle.
4. Do ensure that the blade is in balance and running true. A blade which is out of balance means increased wear and even possible destruction of the saw. Ensure that the blade is concentric to within 0.15mm.
5. Do ensure that the machine bearings and spindle are not worn or blade life will be reduced.
6. Do use the blade with a gentle reciprocating motion. - especially when cutting hard materials, and cut in the direction of the arrow.
7. Do avoid tilting the blade when cutting.
8. Do only use the machine which have an approved safety guard.
9. Do remove the diamond blade from the machine during transit to prevent accidental damage.
10. Do inspect blades frequently to detect cracks or undercutting of the steel core and segments which could lead to segment loss.
11. Do ensure that the machine is not dropped on the blade.
12. Don't use your blade on metals or other unsuitable materials. If you have any doubt, please contact supplier.
13. Don't let excessive heat be generated at the cutting edge of the blade.
