Safety considerations in operating road saws<\/span><\/h2>\nBefore using a concrete or road saw, it is best to read and understand its operation manual to avoid
\ndangerous accidents when not used properly. Always check the saw’s diamond blade<\/strong> to ensure it is
\nin good condition and to check if cleaning is required. An operator should never use the saw blades
\nwithout its blade guards and never when blade guards are raised. The blade’s exposure<\/em> should not go
\nbeyond 180 degrees during use. An operator must always wear helmet and other protective gear.<\/p>\nChoosing good diamond saw blades<\/span><\/h2>\nTo maximize benefits of road saws, it is necessary to choose proper diamond saw blades. You must
\nconsider diameters that can be accommodated, arbor size, and blade quality. It is also important to
\nconsider other factors like compatibility of saw blade’s features with the type of concrete where it will
\nbe used, basic cutting speed, wet cutting or dry cutting, and horsepower of the saw.<\/p>\n
Avoiding health risks from road saw cutting<\/span><\/h3>\nCutting through hard surfaces like concrete, stone, rocks, tiles and bricks<\/strong> produces dust that is airborne
\nand contains very fine crystalline silica called RCS. These can go deeply into the lungs and may cause
\nserious health risks like lunch cancer, silicosis, and other respiratory diseases.<\/p>\nTo avoid health risks from inhalation of dust particles, use wet cutting with sufficient water. Use
\ndiamond blades instead of abrasive wheels for cutting. Capture dust with adequate local exhaust
\nsystem of the saw. Always wear protective gear during the cutting process.<\/p>\n<\/body><\/html>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
