Do’s and Don’ts Of Your Diamond Blade

Do’s and Don’ts Of Your Diamond Blade

 Do's

1. Always inspect flanges for burrs, warpage, cleanliness and flatness.
2. Check blades carefully before each use for proper alignment and possible defects.
3. Maintain a firm grip on blade during cutting operation.
4. Keep bystanders and/or animals out of working area.
5. Make sure all Diamond Blade users comply with safety regulations. For use, see safety codes USA-ANSIB71 and OSHA regulations and Canada - CSA.

Don'ts

1. Do not alter (change) blade inside diameter (ID). Doing so will create unbalanced blade rotation and result in blade wobbling, pounding, or cracking witch could be hazardous.
2. Do not stand in line with blade and stream of hot particles.
3. Do not force a Diamond Blade. Most diamond blades are designed for straight line cutting only. Cutting curves can cause stress cracks or fragmentation of the blade. Resulting in possible injury to people in vicinity.
4. Do not use side pressure or grind with side of the blade.
