The Model G0641 was designed to make two pre- cise and matching 45° cuts in a high-production shop. This is accomplished by using two opposing 12" saw blades and motors, with the blades rotat- ing down through the workpiece in guillotine-type movement.

The stock is positioned on the table up against the fence and the adjustable stop. When the foot pedal actuator is pressed, the pneumatic hold- downs lower to hold the workpiece and the blades swing down in a controlled manner to make the cuts.

The resulting workpiece will have opposing 45° cuts on the ends, and the triangular waste piece exits the machine down through the waste chute.

The vertical movement of the clamping hold- downs and saw blades is pneumatically controlled and the rate can be independently adjusted.

To make a cut:

1.Position the hold-downs to firmly hold the workpiece against the fence (Page 19).

2.Adjust the lowering rates for the hold-downs and saw blades (Page 20).

3.Set the fence stop at the correct distance for your operation (Page 21).

4.Turn the saw ON, then press the foot pedal actuator to make the cut.
