CUTTING INSTRUCTIONS
NOTE: The life span of ihe blades on your Twin Cutter saw and the quality of the
cutting edges is dependent on keeping vibrations to a minimum.
ALWAYS securely clamp the workpiece
BEFORE beginning a cut. Then feed the
blade through the material at an angle
of approximately 30° (see Fig. 8).
This saw produces hot chips, not
sparks, when cutting metal.
It is recommended that you wear a
face shield over safety glasses to
protect your face.

FEED SPEED
Feed speed is how quickly you push the saw blades through the material being cut.
I he correct teed speed is totally determined by the hardness and the thickness of
the material being cut.
IMPORTANT: Feeding must ALWAYS be done with the blades perpendicular to the
plane of the workpiece (See Fig. A). Feeding at an angle can burn the blade and
damage the blade teeth (See Fig. B).
Selecting the correct feed speed is important.
If the feed speed is too slow:
1. The Mades will only press down on the material rather than cutting it.
2. The blade edges glide and wear down the material,
3, A poor cut will result and cause excessive wear on the blades
If the feed speed is too fast:
1, There isa definite risk that the cut might split and the splintered opening of the cut
will net be sufficient to divert the wood shavings.
2. A poor cut will result with a significant discharge of wood shavings on the lower
side of the cut.

CUTTING INSTRUCTIONS cont.
CUTTING ALL MATERIALS
1, ALWAYS have the saw blades at full speed before contacting werkpiece.
2. ALWAYS hold the saw so the blades feed perpendicularly into the workpiece. Hold
the saw at an approximate 30" angle.
3. ALWAYS keep your body positioned to either side of the saw blades, but not in line
with the saw blades.
4. Feed the blades into the workpiece until the desired cut is made.
5. The kerf (width of the cut) of the twin blades is approximately 1/8th of air inch.
Always be sure to allow for this kerf width.
This Twin Cutter Saw with it's special blades and cutting action is a highly
versatile tool that quickly and efficiently provides smooth, efficient cuts a wide
variety of materials:
IT
Flat Iron Bar
Corner Piece Rectangular Pipe
U-Section
Thin Plate Shaped Plate pipes
Cutting other materials may require even more special handling. These include
cutting aluminum, copper, stainless steel and cast iron or shaped plates
Cutting Aluminum, Copper, Stainless
Steel and Cast Iron up to 1/8-in. thick.
(See Fig. 9).
1. ALWAYS use the wax lubricatingdevice
(included) when cutting these materials
because they have a tendency to soften
and adhere to the blades.
