been cut. When cutting large pieces run the band for approximately 15 minutes.
When the band has been run, increase the lowering speed of the arm to normal.
The running in of the saw band avoids micro chips on the cutting edges of a new
saw band ensuing from first excessive stress. This would decrease its lifespan
substantially. The optimal running in of the saw band produces ideal rounded
