Diamond blades consist of a steel body provided with 
segments that contain industrial diamonds.

Diamond blades ensure lower costs per cutting operation, 
fewer blade changes and a constant cutting depth.

When using diamond blades make sure that it rotates in the 
direction indicated by the arrow on the blade.

Always use a sharp diamond blade.

Diamond blades are ideal for masonry, reinforced concrete 
and other composite materials. Diamond blades are not 
recommended for cutting metal.

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.

The Rescue-blade is intended for the cutting of most 
materials, even in combination, which are found in connection 
with rescue services. e.g. thin sheet steel (not stainless steel 
or hardened steel), aluminium, wood, plaster and other 
diverse, mixed materials. The Rescue-blade is not intended 
for stone materials.

Water cooling, which is used when cutting concrete, cools the 
blade and increases its service life while also reducing the 
formation of dust.

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 blunt diamond 
blade causes overheating, which can result in the diamond 
segments coming loose.

Sharpen the blade by cutting in a soft material such as 
sandstone or brick.
