Using the Cat® Professional Diamond Blade is straightforward. First, make sure to choose the right blade size and type according to your cutting needs. Install the blade on a compatible machine following the machine's manual. When cutting, start at a slow speed and gradually increase it as the blade bites into the material. Keep the blade wet to reduce heat and extend its life. Always wear safety gear like goggles and gloves. After use, clean the blade with water to remove any debris. Store the blade in a dry place to prevent rust. Avoid using the blade on materials not recommended in the application list, as it may cause premature wear or damage to the blade. Also, don't push the blade too hard during cutting, as it can affect the cutting performance and the blade's lifespan.
