Diamond Blades - Husqvarna K960 Ring Operator's Manual

Diamond blades

Diamond blades consist of a steel body provided with
segments that contain industrial diamonds.
Always use a sharp diamond blade. Sharpen the blade by
cutting in a soft material such as sandstone or brick.
Diamond blades are available in several hardness classes. A
"soft" diamond blade has a relatively short service life and
large cutting capacity. It is used for hard materials such as
granite and hard concrete. A "hard" diamond blade has a
longer service life and reduced cutting capacity, and should
be used for soft materials such as brick and asphalt.
Diamond blades are ideal for masonry, reinforced concrete
and other composite materials. Diamond blades are not
recommended for cutting metal.
Water cooling
WARNING! Cool diamond blades
!
continuously with water to prevent
overheating that can cause the diamond
blade to break and pieces being thrown off
resulting in injury and damage.
Diamond blades should be sprinkled with water while cutting
to cool the blade and to bind dust that forms while cutting.
Sharpening diamond blades
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 blade causes
overheating and finally the loss of a segment (part of a cutting
blade).
Sharpen the blade by cutting in a soft material such as
sandstone or brick.
Vibrations on diamond blades
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. The blade shall be intended for the material
to be cut.
