After inspecting and installing the wheel, position yourself and bystanders away from the plane of the rotating wheel and run the power tool at maximum no load speed for one minute. Damaged wheels will normally break apart during this test time. WWW.DIAQUIP.CO.UK...

Do not “jam” the wheel or apply excessive pressure. Do not attempt to make an excessive depth of cut. Overstressing the wheel increases the loading and susceptibility to twisting or binding of the wheel in the cut and the possibility of kickback or wheel breakage. WWW.DIAQUIP.CO.UK...
Page 10
Supports must be placed under the workpiece near the line of cut and near the edge of the workpiece on both sides of the wheel. j. Use extra caution when making a “pocket cut” into existing walls or other blind areas. The protruding wheel may cut gas or water pipes, electrical wiring or objects that can cause kickback.

(the diamonds not exposed) and the blade becomes dull (diamond segments polish smooth). This is called glazing and luckily the blade can be de-glazed (sharpened). If the blade seems to refuse to cut anymore, you know that it is glazed. WWW.DIAQUIP.CO.UK...
“glazed”. Once the diamond segments are glazed, the blade’s cutting performance will degrade and the segments will overheat. To resharpen the blade, turn down the water feed and make a few cuts in a very soft, abrasive material such as brick. WWW.DIAQUIP.CO.UK...
Add the arbor bolt and tighten to 15-25 Nm. WARNING: Do not attempt to mount a blade which does not match the mounting hardware. It will lead to eccentric running and vibration which will be uncontrollable. WWW.DIAQUIP.CO.UK...
If the splash guard is not needed, such as when cutting dry, it may be clipped up out of the way. Simply engage the male clip on the flap with the female clip on the mount. Unclip to release. WWW.DIAQUIP.CO.UK...
Note that roller assembly is offset to one side to avoid contacting the blade, so it may only be installed in one orientation. If it is not needed, the guide roller assembly may be removed and set aside. WWW.DIAQUIP.CO.UK...
CAUTION: The motor will be damaged if it is repeatedly overloaded or overheated. Always cool the motor by running at no load for a few minutes whenever it stops from either overheat or overload. WWW.DIAQUIP.CO.UK...
For straight cutting, a wood plank is also useful in guiding the machine to make a straight cut. Ensure that all bystanders are at a safe distance. Ensure that the equipment is grounded. Ensure that all safety equipment is in place. WWW.DIAQUIP.CO.UK...
Do not try to cut too much depth in one pass. Never exceed about 50mm (2”) per pass. It is better to cut in multiple passes to minimize the cutting contact area of the blade and keep the blade spinning fast. Release Button Trigger Switch WWW.DIAQUIP.CO.UK...

Stopping Release the trigger to stop the machine. After the trigger is released, the blade will continue spinning for a time. WARNING: Do not set the machine down until the blade has stopped turning. WWW.DIAQUIP.CO.UK...
Daily Maintenance Keep the machine clean Check to ensure that the power supply cable is in good condition. Ensure all screws are tight. Check the condition of all safety equipment such as the blade guard Check the blade for damage. WWW.DIAQUIP.CO.UK...
