SPEED: The Whirlwind Model 212 is designed to operate at speeds of up to 60 cuts per minute. Each cycle is cushioned by a heavy duty shock absorber for smooth operation at high speeds. Cycle speed can be adjusted with a screwdriver. Many of our customers have said they replaced 2 radial arm saws with 1 Whirlwind for cutoff use!

SAFETY: The Whirlwind Model 212 is an undercut style saw. That means the blade remains in the heavy steel base until the cut is made. Material is securely clamped throughout the cutting cycle by the cast aluminum guard/clamp. This prevents dangerous kick-back so commonly seen on radial arm saws. The base and guard/clamp also protect the operator from debris and broken carbide tips. Our saws all have a cast iron table top with a recessed area. The raised lip between the recess and the blade area acts as a barrier. An operator's hands should never leave the recessed area while the saw is in operation. Other safety features which are standard equipment on Whirlwind saws include our patented "Work Presence Sensor", an air hose with blowgun, low voltage controls and a lock-out valve for the incoming airline. Chips and sawdust should be cleared using the blow gun.

WARNING: NEVER PLACE YOUR FINGERS UNDER THE GUARD/CLAMP OR SENSOR.

ACCURACY: Whirlwind saws are famous for their accuracy. The blade is supported by a heavy chromemoly spindle in a massive steel spindle housing. Bearing mounts are widely spaced for stability. This design gives precise cuts even after years of use. Whirlwind saws are manufactured using state of the art technology for accuracy and interchangeability of parts. So you get the quality you deserve, we run each and every saw for 4-5 hours prior to a comprehensive quality check-out.

EASE OF OPERAT1ON: Operation of the Whirlwind Model 212 cut-off saw is quite simple.

WARNING: READ AND UNDERSTAND THE OPERATORS MANUAL BEFORE ATTEMPTING TO OPERATE THIS MACHINE.

The air supply is turned on using the air cut-off valve on the top of the saw. You must then adjust the guard/clamp to clear your material by approximately 1/4 inch. This adjustment is made by turning the height adjustment knob. A lock-out valve is provided on the air cut-off valve.

WARNING: NEVER PUT YOUR FINGERS UNDER THE GUARD/CLAMP OR SENSOR.

To start the Baldor motor, press the start button on the side of the saw. Whirlwind saws use magnetic starters mounted in a NEMA 12 enclosure. Low voltage con-trols are standard on all of our saws. The cutting cycle is controlled by a foot valve. If the foot valve is released at any time during the cutting cycle, the saw will automatically retract.

CUTTING CYCLE: Each cutting cycle is composed of four steps. The guard/clamp must be properly adjusted to begin the cutting cycle.

SAFETY NOTE: The cutting cycle can be quickly reversed by removing your foot from the foot valve.

• Guard/clamp comes down and holds material in place.
• After material is clamped, blade comes up and cuts material.
• After cut is complete, blade drops below table top.
• Guard/clamp then lifts to release material.
