Maintenance Tips
-
Clean After Use: Rinse off tile dust and slurry to maintain cutting efficiency and prevent clogging of diamond segments.
-
Inspect for Wear: Check diamond edges regularly; replace wheels if segments are worn or uneven to ensure consistent radius shaping.
-
Use Proper Cooling: Keep water flow consistent during operation to prevent overheating and prolong diamond life.
-
Secure Mounting: Ensure the wheel is tightly mounted on the grinder or router to prevent vibration and maintain precision.
-
Lubricate Bearings: If applicable, lightly oil bearings for smooth rotation and longer tool life.
-
Store Safely: Keep in a dry, stable environment to protect diamond segments and prevent corrosion on metal parts.
-
Check Flanges & Adapters: Inspect all mounting components for damage or looseness before use.
