| * **Continuous High-Pitched Noise**. The waterjet will produce a loud high-pitched noise when piercing at the beginning of each cut. If the noise does not decrease after the nozzle begins moving around, it is possible that the material was not fully pierced. Pause the operation and check, and restart if needed. | * **Continuous High-Pitched Noise**. The waterjet will produce a loud high-pitched noise when piercing at the beginning of each cut.
