CUTTING PRECAUTIONS

Selecting saw blade
xiv
The selection of an appropriate saw blade and cutting method is
important in cutting the work safely and efficiently. Select an
appropriate saw blade and cutting method by fully considering the work
to be cut and the requirements of your job (such as cutting accuracy,
cutting speed, economy, and safety control).
The tooth form, pitch, and grade of an appropriate saw blade change
with the material, shape, size, and fixing method of the work to be cut.
An appropriate saw blade also varies with the requirements of your job
(such as cutting accuracy, cutting speed, and economy) even when the
same work is to be cut. Consult AMADA about the selection of saw
blades for specific jobs.
The saw blade supplied as standard equipment on the machine
measures 41 mm {1.61 in.} in width, 1.3 mm {0.051 in.} in thickness,
and 4670 mm {183.8 in.} in length.
