Cause:
Blade is too hard for materials being cut. (i.e. block or general purpose blade being used for extended period on hard brick. Asphalt blade being used to cut hard concrete.)
Remedy
Consult dealer or manufacturer for proper blade to cut materials on job.
Cause
Insufficient power to permit blade to cut properly. (Loose V-belts, low voltage, motor lacks horsepower.)
Remedy
Check belts, voltage, horsepower.
Cause
Blade has become dull because of continuous use on fairly hard or vitrified material.
Remedy
Dress with abrasive material until diamonds become exposed again. (This may be necessary occasionally, but if dullness occurrs too often, then the blade is probably too hard for the material.)
Cause
Blade segments appear to still have plenty of life, but blade won't cut.
Remedy
Some harder-bonded blades designed for abrasive materials require a non-diamond bearing section at the base of the diamond segment for better adherence to the steel core. A blade used to this stage has worn out in teh normal manner and should be replaced.
