• Use Suitable Materials: Only cut materials that fall within the manufacturer's recommended specifications to prevent damage and ensure safe operation.
• Replace Worn Parts: Regularly inspect components like rollers, bearings, and other parts subject to wear, and replace them as needed to maintain optimal performance.
• Wear PPE: Always use safety goggles, hearing protection, and a dust mask to protect yourself from flying debris, loud noise, and dust exposure.
