BLADE APPLICATION GUIDE APPLICATION BY LABEL COLOUR CODe METALS HARD MATERIALS CONCRETE ASPHALT CONCRETE ASPHALT METAL/STONE ASPHALT CONSTRUCTION MATERIALS UNIVERSAL CONCRETE HARD MATERIALS bUILDING MATERIALS All DURO diamond blades (except DURO bASE) have a colour coded section on the label to match the material application type. Please ensure that your blade selection matches the material you intend to cut. White colour indicates highly dense and very hard materials such as granite, slate, Class A engineering bricks, clay products, flint concrete, heavily reinforced concrete. Grey colour indicates universal use in most hard to medium hard materials such as reinforced concrete, Class b engineering bricks, kerbs, lintels, beams, cast pipes, flags and general building materials. Yellow indicates that this product is designed to give the longest lifetimes with high in-feed rates in the widest possible range of construction materials, from the hardest engineering bricks & reinforced concretes to paviors, soft blocks and roof tiles - and even the ability to occasionally cut asphalt - all in one blade. black indicates extremely abrasive materials such as, soft cement screed, lightweight concrete and cellular block, abrasive sandstone and grit stone, as well as tarmac and hot rolled asphalt on roads and pavements. Red indicates that this product is designed for cutting all construction site materials including, but not exclusively, various types of metal. Uniquely shaped with air cooling holes drilled into the steel core & use of a very large diamond grit, allow these blades to cross the barrier in diamond technology and eliminate the need for changing blades when it is necessary to cut metal. The use of both grey and black indicates that this product is highly suited to both concrete and asphalt applications. Either application is possible exclusively or jointly, with similar results. The use of four colour codes makes this specification our most universal. Cut almost any material, excluding heavy metal applications (above 10mm gauge) with absolute ease and security, whilst benefiting from very high life times. The use of titanium coated diamond and high density bonds, coupled with innovative design features, including deep draft segments and cooling holes in the steel core put this product on the very highest level of performance. This is the application of our DURO bASE entry line blades and this indicates that the blades are suitable for universal use on most medium to hard building materials, including lightly reinforced concrete, medium hard bricks and stones. 300DUSCM CONSTRUCTION MATERIALS / BAUMATERIALIEN CONSTRUCTION MATERIALS OBSERVE SAFETY RECOMMENDATIONS / FAITES ATTENTION AU CONSEILS DE SECURITE BEOBACHTE DIE SICHERHEITSVORSCHRIFT / LET OP DE VEILIGHEIDSVOORSCHRIFTEN USE WET OR DRY / USAGE A SEC OU SOUS ARROSAGE / VERWENDE TROCKEN ODER NASS / GEBRUIK DROOG OF NAT ISO 9001 - EN13236 300 x 2.6 x 20.00 12" x 1 /8" x 25 /32" 100m/s 6400rpm Colour band across label indicates quick reference material application guide.
