Please read this instruction manual carefully and follow all installation, operating and safety guidelines.
For proper clamping, use the appropriate clamping vises to securely hold the sample in
place. It is recommended that both sides of the part be clamped to avoid pinching of the
blade (possibly breaking the blade) and to minimize burning of the workpiece during
cutting.
For proper fixturing, take into account the initial stress on the samples.
