CUTTING INSTRUCTIONS
NOTE: The {irespan of the blades on your Twin Cutter saw and the quality of the
cuttingedges Is dependent on keeping vibrations to a minimum_
ALWAYS securely clamp the workpiece
BEFORE beginning a cu! Then feed the
blade through the materialat anangle
of approximately 30 °(see Fig. 8).
This saw produces hot chips, not
sparks, when cutting metal,
tt is recommended that you wear a
face shield over safety glasses to
protect your faces
FEED SPEED
Feed speed is how quickly you push the saw blades through the matedal being cut.
The correct feed speed istotally determined by thehardness and thethickness of
the material being cut..
IMPORTANT: Feeding must ALWAYS be done with the blades perpendicular to the
plane ofthe workpiece (See Fig_ A)o Feeding at an anglecan burn the blade and
damage the blade teeth (See Fig°B)_
Selecting the correct feed speed is important,
Ifthe feed speed is too slow:
1_The blades will onty press down on the matedal rather than cutting ito
2, The blade edges glide and wear downthe material,
3.Apoor'cut wilt result andcause excessive wear onthe blades
Ifthe feed speed is too fast:
1_There isa definite risk that thecut might spiltand the splintered opening ofthe cut
wilt notbe sufficient to divert the wood shavings,
2,A poorcut wilt result with a significantdischarge of wood shavingson the lower
sideof the cut,
