TO GET OPTIMUM PERFORMANCE FROM YOUR BLADE, CARRY OUT THE BREAK-IN
PROCEDURE. ALWAYS BREAK-IN THE BLADE USING THE BLADE MANUFACTURES
BREAK-IN RECOMMENDATIONS. IF UNAVAILABLE THESE STEPS WILL PROVIDE
GENERIC BREAK-IN PROCEDURES.
Start out making three cuts, putting only a light pressure on the workpiece.
Light pressure: as an example, consider an operation to cut a solid steel bar (e.g. C40, D .2”
dia). This should be cut in about 4 minutes. Once the blade has been broken-in the same
workpiece can easily be cut in about 2 minutes.
