the cut and letting it cool by rotating in the air for 15
to 20 seconds after every one minute of cutting.
13) Do not force the tool into the material to be cut.
A properly working diamond tool will grind the
material without excessive force being applied. If
excessive force is needed, it indicates there is
damage to the blade to the blade or the wrong blade
is being used.
14) Always inspect the diamond blade and the
equipment any time you stop during the cut. If you
notice any difference in performance as your work
progresses, immediately STOP and inspect the
equipment and the diamond tool.
15) Do not operate any diamond tool without full
knowledge about appropriate cooling of the tool. If a
tool is not cooled properly, the blade core can
become damaged resulting in the segments coming
loose or the blade core (the steel) breaking. This
can result in serious bodily injury or death to the
operator or bystander.
16) Do not allow any bystanders in the work area.
Never allow anyone to stand in front of a saw that is
about to be started or is running.

Common Sense.
Almost all accidents are avoidable if you apply
caution and common sense. Follow all safety
precautions at all times. If you are not sure...simply
don't do it. Ask for advice. Used improperly or

severe bodily injury or death. If tools are used with
caution, proper techniques and common sense, they
will do an excellent job for you"...
