STARTING A CUT
IMPORTANT:
BEFORE
using the Twin Cutter Saw for the first time, ALWAYS familiarize yourself
with the saw by making practice cuts in scrap materials.
The weight of this saw helps to make the cuts smoother. Learn how to safely handie
and control the weight of the saw.
ALWAYS be sure that you position the blades perpendicular to the plane of the
workpiece. Make the cut at an approximate 30° angle to the workpiece surface.

consistent 5500 RPM (no-load speed).

switch, then push forward. ALWAYS let the blades reach full speed before you begin
the cut into the workpiece.

DO NOT remove your saw from the workpiece, while the blade Is moving.
