What to do if Husqvarna FS 513 experiences segment loss?
- K
  Kristen ConleySep 10, 2025
  Segment loss in your Husqvarna Cutter blade can occur if the blade is too hard for the material you're cutting; in that case, use a softer blade. Overheating, indicated by a blue color on the steel center, can also cause segment loss; ensure your water supply is adequate and not blocked. Twisting the saw during cutting, a worn blade bore, or rough handling during mounting or transport can also lead to segment loss. Always saw in a straight line and avoid rough handling of the diamond blade. Never transport the machine with the diamond blade mounted.

What causes cracked blade segments in Husqvarna FS 513?

  Kimberly DavisSep 12, 2025
  Cracked blade segments in your Husqvarna Cutter may be due to using a blade that is too hard for the material. Try using a softer blade specification. Another reason may be operating the blade at an improper speed. Make certain the blade shaft is turning at the proper speed (R.P.M.) for the blade size and check the R.P.M. using a tachometer.

Why does the Husqvarna FS 513 blade core crack?
- A
  Anthony ChoiSep 14, 2025
  A cracked blade core in your Husqvarna Cutter can be caused by using a blade that's too hard for the material you're cutting, so use a softer blade specification. Additionally, an overheated blade, indicated by a blue color on the steel center, can lead to cracking; ensure your water supply is adequate and not blocked. Twisting the saw while cutting can also contribute to this issue; saw only in a straight line.
