Safety Rules for Cut-Off Saw WARNING The operator must thoroughly read and un- derstand this manual before operating the cut off saw or starting any servicing. All safety and warning instructions should be followed. This manual must be available to all operators.
When Your Saw Arrives... WARNING The operator must thoroughly read and un- derstand this manual before operating the cut off saw or starting any servicing. All safety and warning instructions should be followed. This manual must be available to all operators. The saw ships complete on one pallet, if ordered with stop the stop will be in separate crate.
Connect Power WARNING The operator must remove from and lock out all power to saw before servicing or connecting power. The saw has been factory wired to the requested voltage before shipment. Check that your supply lines match the labeled voltage on the saw before connection. Connect wires inside the electrical enclosure. After wires are connected cycle the start button and stop button quickly to pulse the motor on and then off, look through the fan guard of the motor to check direction of rotation.
Setting the Top Clamp Height WARNING Set the top clamp opening height before sawing material. Adjust top clamp opening height by swinging the flip stops as shown in the photo below. Swing the flip stops over as shown to limit the open height of the top clamp. Turn off power before adjusting.
Installing and Changing Saw Blade DANGER The operator must remove from and lock out all power to saw before servicing. To access blade area remove the door hold down screw, the screw is purposely long to allow the blade and motor to stop before the door will open. Do not use a powered means to remove hold down screw. Do not shorten screw the length is required to make the door interlocks work properly.

When installing or changing blade observe the proper rotation and be sure blade matches the rotation arrow. Use scrap wood to block blade while tightening or loosening blade retaining screw. Blade retaining screw has left hand threads the direction for tightening and loosening is opposite from normal screws and bolts.
Squaring the Saw Blade NOTE: The blade is DANGER squared at the factory so this step is not necessary The operator must ensure that no person unless you need to move the fence off the factory will be in harms way before performing any setting.

DANGER The operator must remove from and lock out all power to saw before continuing. Step 4 for All Cyclone 600 Saws: Use a machin- ists square to adjust the fences to the blade.
Turning the Saw On Make sure all guards are in place and that no person will be at risk in any way when the motor is energized and the saw blade begins to turn before making the decision to turn on the saw. Make sure you and all persons who may be operating the saw know how to turn the saw OFF before turning the saw ON.
Adjusting the Sawing Speed & Main Pressure This device controls the speed of This device controls the speed of the the blade as it travels up through blade as it travels down through the the material. Loosen the locking material. Loosen the locking thumb thumb nut before adjusting.

Adjusting the Clamping Pressure In addition to the main air supply pressure, there are also pressure adjustments for the top clamp and (optionally) the front clamps located beneath the right table to the rear. Turn clockwise to increase pressure, counter clockwise to de- crease pressure.

Cyclone 600 Sawing Capacity Chart & General Specifications The vertical stroke of the upcut saw blade requires that the workpiece be centered over the center line of the blade to maximize thickness capacity. The fence is adjustable to accommodate the potential material sizes as shown in the chart above.
