DUTY CYCLE
30 minutes on 10 minutes off duty cycle refers to short-time operation. Short
time operation denotes operation under norma! load for a specified period and
material, starting cold, the Interval between each period of operation being sufficient
to allow the tool to coo! down approximately to room temperature.
Cutting other materiafs 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 lubricating device
(included) when cutting these materials
because they have a tendency to soften
and adhere to the blades.
LUBRICATING INSTRUCTIONS
(See Figure C)
The blades of your Twin Cutter saw are
equipped with “dry cut teeth that under
normal cutting conditions do not need to
be lubricated. However, in extreme cutting
conditions, such as when you are sawing
into aluminum, copper, stainless steel and
cast Iron, the wax lubricating device should
be used.
1. Insert wax iubricating stick into wax
lubricating device.
2. Turn feeder wheel to apply lubricant to blade. A 1/4 turn should provide
adequate lubrication, .jg
