What to do if diamond chain breakage occurs on my ICS Saw?
- J
  Jeffrey TurnerJul 31, 2025
  Diamond chain breakage in your ICS Saw can occur due to several reasons. Ensure proper chain tension and avoid inserting the saw into a slot narrower than the diamond chain segments. Also, avoid letting the saw bounce and chatter by applying enough feed pressure while cutting. A worn sprocket can allow the chain to jump over the sprocket tooth causing excessive stretch, stress and possible chain breakage

  Harold TorresAug 5, 2025
  A slow diamond chain speed on your ICS Saw can be caused by a chain tension that is too tight or incorrect hydraulic flow rate and pressure. Ensure the diamond chain can be pulled around the guidebar by hand. Also, check that the hydraulic flow rate is 8 gpm/20 lpm or 12 gpm/45 lpm at 2500 psi/172.5 bar.

Why is my ICS Saw experiencing premature chain stretch?
- J
  Jonathan LyonsAug 10, 2025
  Premature chain stretch in your ICS Saw can be due to insufficient water pressure. The minimum water pressure required is 20 psi (1.5 bar). Insufficient water supply may result in excessive wear to the Diamond Chain, which can lead to loss of strength and Diamond Chain breakage. A worn sprocket can on on new chain drive links causing excessive driver damage, wear and stretch.

  If your ICS Saw has poor cutting speed, the diamonds may be glazed over. To resolve this, make a few cuts in an abrasive material to expose the diamonds.

  If the motor on your ICS Saw turns in reverse, the hydraulic lines may be connected backwards, or the power pack is set to reverse. The chain should travel away from the operator on the top of the bar and return on the bottom of the bar.
