Causes and Solutions for Blade Will Not Cut:

- Cause: Blade is too hard for material
being cut. (Improper blade specification)
- Solution: Consult blade recommendation chart or
manufacturer for the proper blade specification for the material being cut.
- Cause: Blade has become dull, probably as a result of
being used on too hard a material.
- Solution: Dress or sharpen with soft concrete block,
piece of sandstone, or worn used abrasive grit grinding wheel to expose diamonds.
Continual dressing indicates the blade specification is too hard for the material being
cut.
- Cause: Failure to initially break-in a new blade on
specific material being cut.
- Solution: Allow blade to sharpen itself on the material
to be cut when first placing it on the saw. This is the proper way to break in a
blade.
- Cause: Insufficient power to permit blade to cut
properly.
- Solution: Tighten belts in accordance with machine
maintenance instructions. Use correct voltage at motor and use adequate horsepower
for cutting application.
