3.6.4 Break-in Operation
When a new saw blade is
used,
be sure to first break in the blade before using it for actual, extended
operation. Failure to break in the blade will result in less than optimum efficiency. To perform this
break-in operation, the following instructions should be followed:
1. Reduce the blade speed to one-half of its normal setting.
2. Lengthen the time required for cutting 2-3 times that of normal.
3. The break-in operation can be considered sufficient if all the unusual noises or metallic sounds have
been eliminated. For instance, to completely break in the blade, a minimum of five complete cuts of
a 200
mrn (7.9
in.) diameter workpiece will be required.
4. Mer completion of the break-in operation, return the blade speed and descending speed of the saw
head to their normal settings.
