Diamond Blades
WARNING
• DO NOT exceed the blade’s
maximum recommended speed
when cutting. Excessive blade
speeds can cause blade breakage, resulting in
serious injuries and/or death.
• DO NOT use damaged blades when cutting to
avoid harming yourself, others, or the saw.
Using the proper blade (size and type) preserves the
blade and improves efficiency, resulting in lower costs.
Refer to the Association of Equipment Manufacturers
(AEM) safety brochure for diamond blades and
www.diamondproducts.com for additional blade
information.
Inspecting the Blade
Inspect each blade prior to installation and discard all
damaged blades. Inspect the blades for:
• Cracks, nicks, and dents
• A damaged/deformed arbor (center hole)
• Darkness/discoloration near edge of blade
• A deformed blade circumference
• Segment
loss/cracks
• Core
wear
• Bending
• Uneven
side-widths
Blade Speed
Refer to the blade, blade packaging information, or the
RPM chart posted on the saw and in the CC4144D Parts
List for the recommended blade speeds when cutting.
DO NOT exceed the maximum recommended blade
speed. DO NOT use a blade for cutting that requires a
lower speed than the blade shaft speed.
Wrench
Use the wrench provided when installing or removing a
blade. Apply force to the opposite end of the wrench and
tighten the blade shaft screw to 125 ft-lb (169.5 Nm) to
secure the outer flange and blade. Verify this
measurement with a torque wrench.
