The DW 208 weighs about 52 lb (24 kg). It can be lifted
safely by one operator using the lift handle on the top of the
frame. It is recommended that two operators mount it on the
workpiece, to avoid dropping or mis-positioning the saw.
You can also use a lifting device attached to the lift handle.
Use the DW Guillotine only on horizontal pipe. The
clamping system is not designed to hold it on a vertical
pipe.
1.
Make sure the saw is configured for cutting:
• The cutting wire is installed on the wheels.
• All covers are closed and secured.
• The swing arms are in the operating position.
• The tension gauge is at the
SET
position.
• The bow is fully retracted (all the way up).
