Instructions for Use 3 mm - Varicor

2. BEFORE PRCESSING
2.1 INSPECTION UPON RECEIPT OF GOODS
Check all of the positions before you sign the freight bill.
Ensure that the delivery is complete and check the supplied panels,
moulded pieces, adhesive and accessories for damage.
Note down any damage or missing amounts on the freight bill
and have this note acknowledged by the driver. Damages which
are not acknowledged on the freight bill are not accepted by
freight forwarding insurance companies. Subsequent complaints
cannot be taken into account.
2.2 STORAGE / HANDLING
The panels must be stored in a horizontal position, on the shipping
pallet if possible. Ensure that the panels are protected from influence
of weather (extreme heat). Unpacked moulded pieces must be stored
on boards and clean surface.
Always transport the panels in an upright position. Attention, the
panels are sharp-edged. Avoid cuts by wearing gloves.
2.3 PROCESSING TOOLS
Commercial wood processing tools are suited for processing Varicor ®
3 mm. Please note the following:
Use hard tipped or diamond tools.
Due to their density, Varicor ® 3 mm chips and dusts are heavier than
wood dust. Use an appropriate suction unit to prevent excessive dust
loads. Varicor ® 3 mm dust is not toxic and does not contain any un-
healthy substances (please observe the MAC values).
When required, it is possible to request a clearance certificate via your
Varicor ® 3 mm dealer.
Cutting the material to size:
Use bench saws to cut the material to size. Band saws and jig saws
cause jaggings which can lead to stress cracks.
We recommend:
• Two types of tooth forms with a tooth pitch of 10 – 16 mm and a
cutting angle of 8° - 10° (Fig. 1).
Both tooth forms (Fig. 2 + 3) enable format cuts without jaggings
(e.g. for the preparation of adhesive joints). The trapezoidal flat tooth
(Fig. 3) enables considerably longer life times.
• A rate of advance of 4 – 6 m/min. (e.g. for a saw blade with a
diameter of 300 mm x 72 teeth) at 3.000 – 4.000 revolutions/min.
