STARTINGACUT
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 maketime cuts 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.

4. NEVER place the saw on the part of the workpiece thatwil! failoff when ti_e cut is
made.
5. ALWAYS keep the cord away from the cutting area. ALWAYS place the cord so it
