    We strongly recommend everyone to follow every single step listed in this section. Additionally, at the end of this section you will find two copies of the “Cutting with WAZER Pro Checklist”. We highly suggest prominently displaying one of those pages in a highly visible location near your WAZER Pro, for all users to reference with every cut.
  • Page 52 WAZER Pro will not be making any noise at this point. If your WAZER Pro fails to turn on, check the high and low float switch on the right side of the tank; the low switch should be submerged and the high switch should not be. Adjust the water level as needed.
  • Page 53 Establish Water Level "Water Level Setup" is a useful feature in WAZER Pro. It can be used to check the status of High Pressure System; it can also be used to check the Low Pressure and Drain System; its primary purpose is to set the water in the tank to the optimum level.
  • Page 54 We are finally ready to setup our first cut. To do so the next step is to transfer a Cut File to WAZER Pro. A Cut File is a type of .gcode file with some WAZER-specific commands. This file includes all the parameters required to cut your Design.
  • Page 55 Failed Cut. WAZER Pro does not have a sensor to read the Abrasive Level, so it assumes that it is filled prior to the start of every Cut. If this is done correctly, WAZER Pro will pause the Cut before the Abrasive runs low, then prompt you to refill the Abrasive Hopper and continue cutting.
  • Page 56 Therefore we encourage running a Tank Cleaning Cycle in the following situations:- After cuts and before turning off your WAZER Pro for a few days in order to collect the excess Used Abrasive. For your first cut you do not need to worry about this step, but going forward we highly suggest doing the Tank Cleaning Maintenance regularly.
  • Page 57 In this case, DO NOT panic. Pause WAZER Pro, turn the water supply on and start your Cut. More on how to pause WAZER Pro later. Fasten the Material Securely fastening the Material to the Cut Bed is critical to the accuracy of your desired Cut. If your Material moves during cutting, the results the cutting results will be poor, or fail completely.
  • Page 58 Setting the height of the Nozzle relative to the Material is critical. If the Nozzle Height is set improperly, WAZER Pro may not cut through the Material or the WAZER cutting head will come in contact with the material resulting in a jam, clog, and lost cut.
  • Page 59 Perform a Final Check A Cut can be costly. Take advantage of the Control Panel’s preview features to ensure that you positioned the Material correctly. We highly recommend that you use one of these features before starting a Cut: • Check Cut Extents: Select this feature and the Nozzle will trace a rectangle that will designate your Cut Extents (essentially the smallest rectangle that fully encompasses your Cut).

When the high-speed slurry coming out of the nozzle hits the work piece you will hear a very loud noise coming from the cutting area. However, as the water/slurry stream progresses through the material you will hear the pitch change.
