NOTICE
Too large of a specimen may cause the flange to advance into the specimen causing
damage to both the flange and specimen. If you need to cut large specimen, reposition the
specimen using a different mount or use a larger blade.
During operation observe the saw’s performance. Due to differences in specimen
thickness and density/consistency, the FEED RATE parameter can be adjusted for
optimum cutting conditions.
If, at any time during the cutting mode, the operator lifts the cover, presses the CUTTING
CYCLE button to the OFF position, the blade reaches the end of travel switch, or the
EMERGANCY STOP button is pressed, the blade will immediately stop.
