5.9 Using the Blades
The surfaces of spacers should be clean and flat against one another. The blade should not rotate on
the shaft during sharpening as it will lead to its damage.
It is not recommended to change the blade mounting hole. Unsuitable hole modification will result in
decreased breaking strength, increased radial run-out and wavy cuts. Besides, it may result in blade
burning, cracks in the gullets and finally in blade breakage.
Do not set teeth with cemented carbide tips!
Do not make any modifications to the blade teeth!
Do not operate the machine if any of the blades is dull. Using dull blades causes stronger cutting
resistance, decreased cut accuracy and may result in blade burning and even cracks in the gullets
and the wiper slots.
Do not exceed the maximum blade rotation speed recommended for a given type of material!
When using Multix type blades, keep at least 5 mm spacing between the bottom of the wiper slot and
the spacer outer diameter.
To remove any sawdust buildup from the blade disk, preferably use a solution of hot water and soda
or another cleaner.
Any blades which are not used for a longer period of time should be properly maintained.
The blades should be used in accordance with safety rules and their application and with machines
in good operating condition and equipped with suitable safety guards.
