Always disconnect the machine from the power supply before mounting the diamond tools.
Examine the diamonds tool before mounting and periodically during the use, for damage and defects (flatness, cracking and excessive wear to the steel of the steel center, damage to bore area).
Ensure that the mounting flanges are correct for the machine, clean, undamaged and free from burrs.
Make sure that the mounting flanges are correctly fitted and mounting nut/bolt is securely tightened.
Check machine arbor for damage before mounting blade.
Always use a blade and belt guard ensuring they are correctly fitted and adjusted to ensure maximum protection.
Ensure that the material to be cut is firmly clamped and cannot move.
Always wear full safety equipment including eye, ear, breathing protection and suitable safety clothing.
Avoid applying side pressure to the blade which would result in uneven wear and product damage.
Check that the direction of rotation of the blade is the same as that of the machine.
Check that the speed of the blade is compatible to the machine speed and safe to use.
