Especially for first timers, it is easy to get overeager when using a diamond blade. One should know that it requires patience and enough know-how to be able to use it properly. A common mistake, which I will discuss later, is putting excessive pressure to the point that you are already destroying the material. Other common mistakes done when using a diamond blade are as follows:
You see the manual is there for a purpose. It is actually meant to be read, understood, and applied. Follow the instructions and the chances of you having troubles with the blade will be greatly reduced. Funny how many people don’t read manuals when it’s the one thing that will educate them about usage. What’s worse is that there are people who instantly throw the packaging away, along with the manual. My advice is to not throw it away so that you can always get back to it if you have to.
Check for wears only before and after use. Inspecting the blade for any damage is surely beneficial. But you don’t just inspect before and after use. Even while you are using it, you should be aware that it may get damaged, and when it does, quit using it to avoid further damage and avoid any injury.
Apply only for intended use. Because the diamond blade is such a versatile tool, some people feel that it can cut almost anything. Yes it is a multi-purpose tool but never ever use it to cut wood. If you do, you are putting unnecessary pressure on the blade. Diamond blades are of course used to cut through hard materials like concrete, brick, granite, or marble.
Neglect for safety gears and equipment. There will always be people who will give safety a pass. My advice is to not be like them. Prove that you know better by wearing the proper safety gears when using diamond blades. Be sure you have safety goggles, gloves, dust mask, and the likes. Remember that the reasons why those people have a disregard for safety can be summed up in one word – ignorance.
Please take note of these common mistakes and heed the pieces of advice I managed to sneak in. Take care, people!
