CUTTING I NSTRUCTIONS
NOTE: Thelifespan oftheblades o nyour T win Cutter s awandthequality ofthe

ALWAYS s ecurely c lamp theworkpiece
BEFORE b eginning a cut. T hen
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
F,0.
Feed speed is how quickly you push the saw blades through the material being cut,
The correct feed speed is totally determined by the hardness and the thickness of
the material being cut,
IMPORTANT: Feeding mustALWAYS 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 blades 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 resultand cause excessivewear on the blades
If the feed speed Is too fast:
1. There is a definite riskthat the cut mFghtsplitand the splintered opening of the cut
winnot be sufficientto divertthe wood shavings.
2. A poor cut will resultwith a significantdischargeof wood shavingson the lower
side of the cut.
