Accessories for Underwater Hydraulic Saws

Diamond blades use industrial diamonds bonded to the cutting edge, allowing them to maintain consistent cutting performance over extended periods. Abrasive blades gradually wear away during cutting and are often used where lower initial cost or specific material compatibility makes them the preferred choice. Choosing the correct blade depends on the material, application, and desired cutting performance.

The correct chain depends on both the saw model and the material being cut. Different chains are engineered for different applications, including wood, fiberglass, plastics, concrete, and masonry. Using the proper chain improves cutting efficiency, extends chain life, and helps protect the saw from unnecessary wear. Always verify that the chain is compatible with both the guide bar and the specific hydraulic chainsaw being used.

Over time, guide bars experience wear from continuous chain movement, heavy cutting loads, and abrasive materials. Replacing worn guide bars helps maintain straight cuts, proper chain alignment, and safe operation while reducing premature wear on replacement chains.

Select saw chains, bars, blades by required lift capacity, water depth or operating pressure, available clearance, attachment points, inflation method, and whether the load must be lifted vertically, stabilized, or moved horizontally.

Use an appropriate design and rigging safety factor, inspect the bag and hardware before use, control inflation, keep personnel clear of the load path, and follow the manufacturer's instructions for inflation pressure, attachment, and capacity.
