DANGER - WARNING
TO GET OPTIMUM PERFORMANCE FROM YOUR BLADE, CARRY OUT THE
RUNNING-IN PROCEDURE.
k. Carry out three cuts, putting only a light pressure on the workpiece.
NOTES
Light pressure: as an example consider an operation to cut a full steel bar (e.g. C40, D.
50 mm). This should be carried out in about 4 minutes. Once the blade has been run in,
the same kind of workpiece can easily be cut out in about 2 minutes.
