| Keeping your diamond blade cool to extend its life and improve its performance Dry cutting diamond saw blades may be used dry, eliminating the need for water tanks, water hoses or wet slurry clean-up. These diamond blades depend on airflow around the blade to prevent excessive heat build-up during cutting. Use dry diamond cutting blades for "intermittent" sawing. After every 10 - 15 seconds of cutting, take pressure off the blade and allow it to run back up to full speed for several seconds. This "cooling" interval allows air to flow around the diamond blade and dissipate the heat. Use dry diamond blades ONLY for shallow cutting (1-2" deep) or step cutting (making several shallow passes to reach the full depth required). Husqvarna dry cutting diamond blades are also designed to cut equally wet, if the job or equipment permits. Wet cutting diamond saw blades MUST be used with water to prevent excessive heat build-up during cutting. Using water on the diamond blade also reduces dust and helps remove cutting. A continuous water flow is critical. Using "wet" diamond blades without water, even for a few seconds, causes excessive heat and blade damage, and creates a safety hazard. Check the saw or tool carefully before using a wet cutting diamond blade. Make sue it is safe to use the saw or tool with water.
