Breaking-In The Blade; Test-Running The Machine - Sharp SW-180NC Instruction Manual

BREAKING-IN THE BLADE

When a new saw blade is used, be sure to first break in the blade before using it for actual, extended
operation. Failure to break in the blade will result in less than optimum efficiency. To perform this
break-in operation, the following instructions should be followed:
Step 1 - Reduce the blade feed speed to one-half of its normal setting.
Step 2 - Lengthen the cutting time to 2-3 times of what is normally required.
Step 3 - The complete break-in operation requires cutting on a 645 mm
for 5 times.
Step 4 - After the break-in operation is completed, set all parameters back to normal settings.
