4.7 Transporting
During the first few hours of use, avoid hitting
stones as much as possible to allow the carbide
teeth to wear slightly. This can be done by keeping
the cutting wheel above ground level. Brand new
carbide tips are razor sharp and can chip and
shatter easily when they hit hard objects. Once
the razor sharpness has worn away, the tips do
not chip as easily. Observing these precautions
will extend the life of the carbide teeth and reduce
operating expenses.
The teeth bolts must be retightened every ten
minutes for the first hour of use on a new drop saw.
