- Verify the saw is unplugged and the spindle is locked before mounting the blade.
- Align the 1" arbor of the blade with the saw spindle; observe the rotation arrow on the blade so it matches the saw direction.
- Install the outer flange and tighten the arbor nut firmly with the supplied wrench — do not overtighten.
- Connect water supply and verify steady flow to both sides of the blade before each cut.
- Start the saw, allow it to reach full speed, then advance the blade with slow, even pressure — let the diamond do the work.
- Periodically dress the blade in an abrasive material if cutting slows, to re-expose fresh diamond.
