BLADES
General
• This machine is only to be used with Husqvarna´s
specially developed diamond blades intended for Cut-n-
Break. The blades have an integrated belt pulley and are
approved for freehand cutting.
• Diamond blades consist of a steel core provided with
segments that contain industr
ial diamonds.
• Always use a sharp diamond blade.
• Ensure the blades are not cracked or damaged in any
other w
ay. Replace blades if necessary.
Diamond blades for different
materials
• Diamond blades are ideal for masonry, reinforced
concrete and other composite materials. Ask your dealer
for help in choosing the right product.
• 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.
Water cooling
Water cooling must always be used. This cools the blades and
increases their life and prevents dust build-up.
Sharpening diamond blades
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 blades by cutting a soft material such as
sandstone or br
ick.
Transport and storage
• Inspect new blades for transport or storage damage.
!
WARNING! Blades can break and cause
serious injuries to the user.
Never use blades other than original blades
designed for the machine.
!
WARNING! Cutting plastics with diamond
blades can cause kickback when the
material melts, due to the heat produced
when cutting, and sticks to the blades.
!
WARNING! Never use blades on a material
other than the one they are intended for.
!
WARNING! Cool diamond blades designed
for wet cutting continuously with water to
prevent heating, which can deform the
diamond blade resulting in damage to the
machine and personal injury.
