1. PURPOSE
This document lays out the set of procedures to be followed on Multi Angle Saw(T1300x120),
Bay-1 of the Katerra India Private Limited, Hyderabad. Multi Angle saw is primarily used for
cutting pre-stressed floor slabs with a 415mm (T100) thickness or a 515mm (T1300)
thickness. It is hoped that by following the processes outlined in this document, all direct
stakeholders will be able to comply with the Katerra quality guidelines.

Planning table is where you enter the distance between cuts and the amount of each cut.
a. For Example: from the below pic, the values are entered as 4 cuts of 1000mm in
reverse direction, followed by 4 cuts of 500mm in forward direction and 2 cuts of
1000mm backwards.
b. Indicates in what steps the planner is currently
c. Enable the automatic cycle, after pressing this the program will take over after

7. CLEANING THE MACHINE

After every production, hose the guards down with high pressure water. The guards’
conductors must always be free from concrete residue to maintain sufficient spacing
between the inner and outer guard. After cleaning the components with water, it is best to
spray them with dismantling oil, to make cleaning easier in future.
