Coolant should be changed regularly.
Feeding speed:
Thin-walled materials such as tubes
or thin profiles must be cut with a low
feeding speed.
A new saw blade requires a break-in
period, during which time about half
the normal feeding speed should be
used.

7. Setup and adjustments

General note:
Setup and adjustment work may
only be carried out after the
machine is protected against
accidental starting by pulling the
mains plug.

7.1 Changing sawblade

power source.
The sawblade has to meet the
technical specification.
Check sawblade for flaws (cracks,
broken teeth, bending) before
installation. Do not use faulty
sawblades.
Always wear suitable gloves when
handling sawblades.

Tooth Pitch "T" is needed to
accommodate the big chips (Fig 7)
