•d. The saw must have the ability to perform horizontal and vertical cuts, both on the horizontal and vertical planes, with articulation built in, using proven technology joints to handle the stresses.

•f. The saw drive unit must have a braking system and reversing ability to make operations safer, and have the ability to back away from a bound blade.
•g. Saw blades shall have a minimal kerf size.
