OPERATING
Diamond Blades
WARNING
DO NOT exceed the blade’s
maximum recommended
speed when cutting.
Excessive blade speeds can cause
blade breakage, resulting in serious
injuries and/or death.
DO NOT use damaged blades when
cutting to avoid harming yourself,
others, or the saw.
Using the proper blade (size and type)
preserves the blade and improves efficiency,
resulting in lower costs. Refer to the
Association of Equipment Manufacturers
(AEM) safety brochure for diamond blades and
www.diamondproducts.com for additional
blade information
.
Inspecting the Blade
Inspect each blade prior to installation and
discard all damaged blades. Inspect the blades
for:
•
Cracks, nicks, and dents
•
A damaged/deformed arbor (center hole)
•
Darkness/discoloration near edge of blade
•
A deformed blade circumference
•
Segment loss/cracks
•
Core wear
•
Bending
•
Uneven side-widths
Blade Speed
Refer to the CC5049 RPM Chart, located in
Appendix B at the end of this manual, the
blade, or the blade packaging information for
the recommended blade speeds when cutting.
DO NOT exceed the maximum recommended
blade speed. DO NOT use a blade for cutting
that requires a lower speed than the minimum
blade shaft speed.
Wrench
Use the wrench provided when installing or
removing a blade. Apply force to the opposite
end of the wrench and tighten the blade shaft
bolt/screw to 125 ft-lb (170 Nm) minimum to
secure the outer flange and blade.
NOTE: 125 ft-lb is equivalent to applying 125
pounds at the end of a 12” wrench.
Wrench
Installing the Blade
WARNING
DO NOT install a blade with the
engine running.
Failure to properly secure the outer
flange and blade may cause parts to
loosen or fall off the saw, resulting in
serious injuries or death!
DO NOT pivot the front of the blade guard
up or down when installing very large
blades. Attempting to pivot the front of a
heavy guard when the guard is
positioned higher up for blade
installation makes the guard difficult to
lift and/or lower. In this situation,
remove the blade guard front instead of
pivoting it.
Always secure the pivoted section of the
blade guard using the detent pin.
CAUTION
Wear gloves and be alert to the surrounding
environment when handling blades.
NOTE: When changing blade sizes, ensure to
adjust and/or change all necessary belt drive
components in accordance with the CC5049
Parts List
.
The blade can be installed on the right or left
side of the saw. Install the blade on the side
preferred or most appropriate for the cutting
task.
1. Select a blade size and type. Remember to
check the blade for damages and discard
as necessary.
2. Pivot the front of the blade guard 180° (fully
upward) to gain access to the blade
flanges. For blade guards 26” and larger
remove the detent pin from the front guard
