STARTINGCUT

IMPORTANT:

BEFORE using the Twin Cutter Saw for the first time, ALWAYS familiarize yourself wilh the saw by making practice cuts in scrap materials.

The weight of this saw helps to make timecuts smoother. Learn how to safely handle and contro! the weight of tile saw.

ALWAYS be sure tllat you position the blades perpendicular to the plane of the workpiece. Make the cut at an approximate 30 ° angle to the workpiece surface. (See Fig 5).

Practice the proper feed speed rate for the materials being cut. The blades spin at a consistent 4600 RPM (no-lead speed).

Engage timeon/off switch to start the saw. ALWAYS let the bIades reach full speed before you begin the cut into the workpiece.
