Table 7. Blade Troubleshooting
Symptom possible problem Solution
Irregular run of the saw blade Poor tension in the blade material Return saw blade to manufacturer
Saw blade wobbles when running
Saw blade is damaged or bent
Have the saw blade aligned/flattened
Chean the receiving flange
Replace saw blade.
Flange of the saw blade is damaged Replace the saw blade flange
Shaft of the motor is bent Replace the electric motor
Diamond segment becomes loose
Overheating of the saw blade; cooling water
not sufficient
Replace saw blade.
Excessive wear
Wrong type of saw blade Use harder saw blade
Shaft of motor causes wobbling Have motor or bearings of motor replaced
Overheating Ensure optimum flow of cooling water
Cracks in or near diamond segment
Saw blade too hard Use softer blade
Fixed flange is worn out Have fixed flange replaced
Motor shaft bearing Replace the bearing of the motor shaft
Saw blade is blunt
Saw blade type is unsuitable for the material
being cut
Use appropriate type of saw blade Saw blade type is unsuitable for the machine
performance
Saw blade too hard

Material is not being fed parallel to saw blade
Ensure that the direction of the feed is
absolutely parallel to the saw blade
Adjust roller table
Poor tension in blade material Have the saw blade tensioned
