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.
1. Read and understand the operation manual before operation.
2. Keep hands away from the cutting area.
3. Before making any adjustments disconnect all power sources including electrical and pneumatic.
4. Minimum air pressure is 50 psi, DO NOT operate saw if minimum air pressure is not available. Normal work-
ing pressure is 80psi.
5. At the start of each work session turn on saw and trigger the two hand trip with no work piece present, cycle
the saw and check for normal operation of top clamp and blade advance cylinders. Turn off saw and as the
motor slows and comes to a stop check for correct rotation direction compared to arrow indicator.
6. Do not cut warped wood; work piece should lay flat on table without rocking.
7. Use infeed and outfeed supports when cutting long work pieces.
8. Set top clamp stop pin to limit opening height to only what is required to process the work piece.
9. Never place hands under top clamp; remove cut piece by pulling it out from under open top clamp. Short
trim scraps should only be removed by pushing them out with a scrap piece.

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.
Unpack the saw ensuring that all parts are present and free from damage. If any parts are missing or dam-
aged contact your local distributor immediately. Do not assembly or attempt to operate saw without all com-
ponents present and in undamaged condition.
Installation
WARNING
The operator must remove from and lock
out all power to saw before servicing or
connecting power.
Install saw with enough free space to conveniently allow workpiece to be brought into saw. If infeed and or
outfeed is required allow room for such. The floor should be a flat non-slip surface. The saw will be more
stable if bolted to floor. After locating the saw use leveling feet to adjust level of saw table. Place level on
saw table and adjust feet to bring table into level position.

7
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. Rotation must match direction indicat-
ed on side of enclosure. If rotation needs to be reversed swap the connection of two of the three power
wires and recheck rotation.
Saw Operation
Before operating saw read all general and safety rules.
If operator is uncomfortable with any operation or condition of saw get help from supervisor.
The Cyclone upcut saw is operated by the triggering of two hand anti tie down triggers located on the work piece
clamping handles at either side of the top clamp blade cover. The operator’s hands must never be placed under
the top clamp. Maintain pressure on triggers until the top clamp opens completeing the saw cycle.
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.

Installing and Changing Saw Blade
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.
DANGER
The operator must remove from and lock
out all power to saw before servicing.

10
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. To loosen blade screw turn wrench in same direction as rotation of blade, clockwise when looking
at the blade. Remove retaining screw and blade arbor plate to free saw blade from motor shaft. Do not
remove rear arbor plate, check blade brake for dust buildup, clean if necessary.

11
Make sure no person or other obstruction will interfere with the blade as it rises before perform-
ing this operation. Use a probe to manually actuate the saw lift valve to raise the saw blade.
Squaring the Saw Blade
DANGER
