Such cutting blades must not be used on portable power cutters. Always contact local authorities and make sure you are following applicable directives. Blade vibration The blade can become out-of-round and vibrate if an excessive feed pressure is used. A lower feed pressure can stop the vibration. The blade must be of the recommended type for the material to be cut. ! WARNING!A cutting blade may burst and cause injury to the operator. Never use a cutting blade at a lower speed rating than that of the power cutter. Never use a cutting blade for any other materials than that it was intended for. General • Cutting blades are available in two basic designs; abrasive baldes and diamond blades. Abrasive blades The cutting material on abrasive blades consists of grit bonded using an organic binder. ”Reinforced blades” are made up of a fabric or fibre base that prevents total breakage at maximum working speed if the blade should be cracked or damaged. A cutting blade’s performance is determined by the type and size of abrasive corn, and the type and hardness of the bonding agent. Check that the blade is approved for the same or higher speed according to the aproval plate of the engine. [. . . ] Use high quality gear grease The gear housing must not be filled completely with grease. The grease expands as the machine heats up during operation. If the gear housing was completely filled with grease it could damage the seals and lead to leakage of grease. The gear housing should contain 90 g of grease in total. Checking the drive shaft and flange washers Check that the threads on the drive shaft are undamaged. [. . . ]
