"Corner blade includes .210” width designed for pre-cutting a diamond chain slot"

...in other parts of the brouchure, blade is the cutting disc, but corner blade... is it a disc suitable to cut curners?? (also, I would need some clarification as to chain slot, is this the kerf?)

Blade for use in corners or tight areas.

A "corner blade" is a blade (which can be a disc but usually isn't) for use in corners and other areas where you don't have a lot of space to work. For "diamond chain slot" it's not "diamond" + "chain slot", it's "diamond chain" + "slot". In other words, it's a slot (kerf) that that you pre-cut (make a narrow cut) with the corner blade and then this allows you to insert and use the "diamond chain" blade to finish the job. A "diamond chain" is a chainsaw blade that uses the MBS (industrial) diamonds as its cutting element. So, they cut a small slot with the corner blade and then use the MBS blade. HTH.

\"Diamond chain slot\" means \" a slot where the diamond chain blade can be used effectively\" and this is created by using the smaller corner blade first. HTH.

I always try to be very clear, very thorough and give you lots of options/alternatives because I know from experience that most of the stuff that you translate is detailed, technical and demanding. Buona fortuna :)

partial explanation

I don't know what a corner blade is in this context, but a chain slot is a slot in a flat piece of metal designed to allow a link of a chain to be slid sideways in the the slot to attach the chain in a manner that allows it to be easily removed and replaced (or the length to be adjusted in units of one chain link). Presumably 'diamond chain' is a type of chain whose links will fit into an 0.210-inch slot.
