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.

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
