second is sufficient to cause severe injury.
• This Twin Cutter Saw uses specially designed blades
and no other types of blades should ever be used.
Other types of blades will not operate safely in this
saw & could result in serious personal injury.
• If the blades come in contact with the workpiece
before they reach full speed, it could cause the saw to
kickback towards you resulting in serious injury.
• Always make sure both blades enter into the
workpiece at the same time. Entering with only one
blade will cause unexpected kickback, risking serious
injury. Therefore, in the case of cutting at an angle,
do not approach from the side with only one blade
touching, but from the top with both blades entering
simultaneously.
• The side of the blades cannot be used for cutting.
Therefore, in horizontal cuts, make sure saw is not
resting on lower blade and wedge the workpiece to
prevent unexpected kickback.
CAUSE AND OPERATOR PREVENTION
FROM KICKBACK
Kickback is the result of tool misuse and/or incorrect
operating procedures or conditions and can be avoided
by taking proper precautions as given below:
• Maintain a firm grip with both hands on the saw and
position your body and arm to allow you to resist
kickback forces. Kickback forces can be controlled
by the operator, if proper precautions are taken.
• When blade is binding, or when interrupting a cut for
any reason, release the trigger and hold the saw
motionless in the material until the blade comes to a
complete stop. Never attempt to remove the saw
from the work or pull the saw backward while the
blade is in motion or kickback may occur. Investigate
and take corrective actions to eliminate the cause of
blade binding.
• When restarting a saw in the workpiece, center the
saw blade in the kerf and check that saw teeth are not
engaged into the material. If saw blade is binding, it
may walk up or kickback from the workpiece as the
saw is restarted.
• Support large panels to minimize the risk of blade
pinching and kickback. Large panels tend to sag under
their own weight. Supports must be placed under
the panel on both sides, near the line of cut and near
the edge of the panel.
• Do not use dull or damaged blade. Unsharpened or
improperly set blades produce narrow kerf causing
excessive friction, blade binding and kickback.
• Use extra caution when making a "Pocket Cut" into
existing walls or other blind areas. The protruding
blade may cut objects that can cause kickback.
ADDITIONAL RULES FOR SAFE OPERATION
OF TWINCUTTER
Be sure to read and understand all instructions.
Failure to follow all instruction listed below may
result in electric shock, fire and/or serious personal
injury.
1. Know your power tool. Read operator’s manual
carefully. Learn the applications and limitations, as
well as the specific potential hazards related to this
tool. Following this rule will reduce the risk of
electric shock, fire or serious injury.
2. Always wear safety glasses or eye shields when using
this saw. Everyday eyeglasses have only impact-
resistant lenses; they are not safety glasses.
Following this rule will reduce the risk of serious
personal injury.
3. Always protect your lungs. Wear a facemask or dust
mask if the operation is dusty. Following this rule will
reduce the risk of serious personal injury.
4. Always protect your hearing. Wear protection
during extended periods of operation. Following
this rule will reduce the risk of serious personal
injury.
5. Always inspect the tool cords periodically and if
damaged have them repaired at your nearest Service
Center or other Authorized Service Facility. Always
be aware of the cord location. Following this rule will
reduce the risk of electric shock or fire.
6. Always check for damaged parts. Before further use
of the tool, a guard or other part that is damaged
should be carefully checked to determine if it would
operate properly and perform its intended function.
Check for misalignment or binding of moving parts,
breakage of parts and any other condition that may
affect the tool’s operation. A guard or other part
that is damaged should be properly repaired or
replaced at an Authorized Service Center. Following
this rule will reduce the risk of electric shock, fire or
serious injury.
7. Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord to carry
the tool or pull the plug from the outlet. Keep cord
away from heat, oil, sharp edges or moving parts.
Replace damaged cords immediately. Damaged
cords increase the risk of electric shock. Following
this rule will reduce the risk of electric shock or fire.
8. Twin Cutter can saw lumber with nails. But it is
advisable to remove all nails from lumber before
sawing, as life of the blade may get affected.
Following this rule will reduce the risk of serious
personal injury.
9. Do not use the tool while tired or under the
influence of drugs, alcohol or any medication.
Following this rule will reduce the risk of electric
shock, fire or serious personal injury.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
Refer to them frequently and use them to instruct others
who may use this tool. If someone borrows this tool,
make sure they have these instructions also.
Some dust particles created by power sanding,
sawing, grinding, drilling and other construction
jobs contains chemicals known to cause cancer, birth defects
or other reproductive harm. Some examples of these
chemicals are:
• Lead from lead-based paints.
• Crystalline silica from bricks and cement and other
masonry products.
• Arsenic and Chromium from chemically treated
lumber.
• Your risk from these exposures varies depending
upon how often you do this type of work. To reduce
your exposure to these chemicals.
