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.
Toothed blades
WARNING! Never use toothed blades
!
such as wood cutting blades, circular
toothed blades, carbide tipped blades
etc. Carelessness can result in serious
personal injury or even death.

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.
