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.
