TECHNICAL INSTRUCTION

1. Choose equipment with sound mechanical performance, the saw with sharp edge and thickness from 1.5mm to 2.2mm. Before every cutting, be noted to grind the      edge of saw blade with firebrick for duration not less than 15minutes. The diameter of chosen saw rangers from *350mm to *400mm (special saw blade is better).
2. Pay attention to cutting speed during cutting slab and normal speed shall be 2.5m/min-5m/mim; when the blade is cutting into and taking off from the slab, keep a     low speed, to avoid slab edge or border being broken; the rotate speed of cutter and main blade shall be around 2500r/min. Higher RPM would have betting efficiency.
3. When cutting tiles which have a dimension 1000x1000mm, be sure the slab is steady on the sutting machine. Swaying of the slab would cause damages when cutting.
4. the well-cut slabs shall be separated by pearl cotton in deposit, to avoid being damaged.
5. The tiles shall be processed by using the machining of border grinding and edge rounding, which glass straight border grinding machine maybe used. During slab grinding, please note the force that each grinding head bears, and the grinding / cutting volume of each emery wheel shall not be over 1mm. keep the main     strap of grinding machine being in accordance with slab-in strap horizontal, otherwise, uneven will occur to the slab. Grinding wheel shall be used for the edge / border polishing. If not available portable water grinder may be used.
6. In heteromorphic table machining or water basin hole drilling, please choose *35 glass aiguilles, and mark the outline of the hole, then drill several small hole around the hole with stone materials or glass dedicated aiguilles; be noted to drill holes at four corners with cooling water being used. At the same time, the cutting blade shall be well ground on the firebrick for operation; operation gently in cutting; if the slab cannot be wholly separated in one cut, please cut with several come-and-goes and cooling water being used. Dry-grinding shall be avoided to prevent slab from broken.
7. In arc border rounding, please mark it at first and form the outline with hand grinder, then polish it with portable water grinder, with operation method the same with that of other stone materials. What shall be noted is that dry-grinding is to be avoided and water cooling being applied in polishing. In border thickening, both surfaces to be joined shall be roughed with grinder, then be cleaned. For French border machining, cut the line out from the cutter at first, then grinding with above method, and the optimal effect will be obtained.
8. For 45o back beveling, the gradient of the main blade on the cutter shall be adjust by hand, and the working table shall be cleaned, then adjust positing slab. It is better that a layer of rubber be placed on the working table, then put slab on it to avoid the polished surface being scratched; prior to machining, saw shall be ground     and wate level shall be checked, and keep a slow speed in operation.
9. In stair slabs machining and skid proof groves forming: the stair slabs shall be thickened edge-rounded and 45o-angled, with the operation illustrated in item 6 and 7 being followed. Pay attention to the border of heteromophic slap. It is better that back-cutting be used for the border cutting and follow client's requirements in skid proof groove forming. During groove forming, hand turning border cutter shall be used, and groove width and depth shall be well adjusted, and saw blade (in 2.4mm thickness) be chosen according to the width; generally install 2 saw blades on the machine, and shall add / reduce saw blades based on the groove sizes;  the form groove shall be polished the portable water grinder.
10. For steel hanging slab edge groove forming, fixing panel shall be used on the working table of hand turning edge cutter, and clamp the slab to be machined vertically, then well adjust working table, and add / reduce saw blades according to machining demand.
11. Handle carefully in finished products deposit; stack them vertically and do not stack too much at a single place to prevent slabs from being damaged.
