Hear From A Safety Director:
“The result has not only been better safety training and awareness, but better productivity and efficiency. We’re getting longer life from the blades and saws because our workers recognize when it is time to change out of the blades....more people feel comfortable operating the saws because they have knowledge and confidence.”

How the Husqvarna SmartGuard Helmet Prevented a Serious Injury
When the pipe broke, the blade pinched. That sudden bind caused the saw to kick back hard and fast. The blade came up and struck the front of the SmartGuard helmet the operator was wearing. The impact was strong enough to knock him onto his back.
Why Are the Segments Coming Off My Diamond Blade?
When segments start breaking off, something in the cutting process is going wrong. Segment loss is not normal wear. It is usually the result of incorrect application, blade misuse, or jobsite conditions that put excessive stress on the weld between the segment and the steel core.
Why Your Diamond Blade Is Wobbling or Cutting Crooked on the Job
When a saw starts to wander off the line or the blade begins to wobble, production slows down fast. A job that should cut clean and straight turns into constant correction, blade binding, and uneven edges that cost time and money.
