Cutting Procedures

For optimal results and safety, follow proper cutting techniques.

1. Straight Cuts: Use guide line or straight edge. Maintain consistent forward speed.
2. Depth Control: Adjust depth wheel gradually. Do not exceed maximum depth in single pass.
3. Water Management: Ensure continuous water flow to blade. Refill tank as needed.
4. Curved Cuts: Make gradual turns. Avoid sharp angles that may bind blade.
5. Deep Cuts: Make multiple passes, increasing depth incrementally.
6. Edge Cutting: Position machine so blade does not contact unintended surfaces.
