MK-1080 PAVER SAW MAINTENANCE
DIAMOND BLADE SHARPENING (RE-DRESSING)
Like most cutting instruments, a Diamond Blade cuts best when it is sharp!
When material being cut is matched with the proper Diamond Blade, it should yield swift and accurate
cuts, and maintain an optimum operational life. NO TWO MATERIALS CUT ALIKE. Occasions may
arise where a percentage of the diamonds on the blade edge and periphery smooth “glaze” over and
the cutting efficiency is reduced. Additionally, this condition may cause the blade to “wander” or bend
in the cut, giving the illusion of an “out-of-alignment” condition. If you experience any lack of cutting
efficiency or effectiveness, sharpen your diamond blade by making several cuts into very abrasive ma-
terial, such as simple cinder block or soft sandstone. Ensure that plenty of water is used to clean cut
and cool blade.
