4.5 Positioning Sample Over Blade
1. The PICO-155S wafering saw is the only
metallographic precision saw that allows you
to change the position of the sample relative
to the wafering blade. This is important in
order to prevent the blade from jamming and
to eliminate the oscillation (bouncing) of the
specimen during cutting.
2. For soft gummy materials it is recommended
that the sample be positioned towards the
back side of the wafering blade. For this
condition the blade is rotating up into the
specimen (note if the blade is positioned to
the front, the blade tends to grab the sample
and pull it down into the blade, thus jamming
and tripping the safety overload protection for
the motor).
3. A common issue with wafering saws is that
the specimen can bounce or oscillate during
cutting, especially if the sample is positioned
at the apex of the blade. In this case
reposition the sample, general more towards
the backside of the blade is better.
4.6 Automatic Shut Off
Adjust the height of the shut off screw so that the saw
will turn off after it completes the cut.
Please read this instruction manual carefully and follow all installation, operating and safety guidelines.
