Parallel Edge Guide; Dust Extraction - Evolution 075-0001 Bedienungsanleitung

• Loosen the socket headed screw that holds the footplate to
the machine. (Fig. 8)
• Tilt the footplate to the desired angle. To engage one of
the positive stops it will be necessary to slide the footplate
backwards or forwards depending upon the stop required.
• Tighten the socket-headed screw carefully so as not to
damage the threads.
• Re-install the Dust Extraction Adaptor tube.
• Refit the plastic footplate shoe ensuring that all six (6)
securing lugs (2 to the front of the footplate and 2 either side)
Fig 8
are correctly seated.

headed screw.
Note: The positive location stops are intended as a guide only.
For accurate setting of the footplate we recommend the use of a
vernier angle gauge (not supplied).
7. CHIP GUARDS
Two (2) plastic chip guards are provided. The Front Chip Guard
should always be fitted and the Footplate Chip Guard can be
fitted to the machine as and when required.
To fit the Front Chip Guard:
• Ensure that the machine is disconnected from the power supply
• The front guard (Fig. 9) clips over the front of the machine,
below the laser guide and in front of the steel blade guard.

clip into place. There is sufficient 'spring' in the design to allow
the guard to be carefully positioned into its service position.
The operator should use care and ensure that the guard is not
'forced' into place with the attendant risk of damage to the
guard. Seat the guard carefully in its service position.
The Footplate Chip Guard (Fig. 10) can be useful when cutting
long straight lines. The use of this guard will help prevent the
sawblade from swinging during a cut.
To fit the Footplate Chip Guard:
• Ensure that the machine is disconnected from the power supply.

• Carefully replace the Footplate Shoe with the attached Chip
Guard onto the Footplate.

8. PARALLEL EDGE GUIDE

The supplied Parallel Edge Guide can be fitted to either side of
the machine. It can be a useful aid when cutting straight lines
that are parallel to an existing edge.
To fit the Parallel Edge Guide:
• Loosen the cross-head screw found in the Parallel Edge Guide
clamp and slide the clamp from the arm of the guide.
• Locate the clamp in the required service position on either
the right or left hand side of the machines footplate just
ahead of the blade. (Fig. 11).
• Slide the arm of the Parallel Edge Guide through the clamp
and through the two (2) rectangular slots in the footplate.
• Set the Edge Guide at the required distance and then tighten
the cross-head screw to lock the Edge Guide securely in place.
Note: The Front Chip Guard can be fitted to this machine when
the Parallel Edge Guide is fitted.
9. AIR BLOWER
This Jigsaw is equipped with an Air Blower. This can be used
to blow away dust created by the blade from the cutting area
thereby keeping the cutting line(s) clear and visible.
Note: We recommend that the Air Blower is used in conjunction
with a suitable workshop dust extraction machine connected to
the Dust Extraction Adaptor of the jigsaw.
We recommend that the Air Blower is not used when cutting
metal or when cutting materials that require a lubricant.
Mechanical vacuum dust extraction using the Adaptor tube will
always work better with the Air Blower turned 'OFF' .
To switch the Air Blower 'ON':
• Push the 'Air Blower' control slide fully to the right (as seen
from the operators viewpoint) (Fig 12)
To switch the Air Blower 'OFF':
• Push the 'Air Blower' control slide fully to the left.

10. DUST EXTRACTION

This jigsaw is fitted with a Dust Extraction Adaptor tube.
(Fig. 13)
Whenever possible it is good practice to connect the Adaptor
tube to a workshop dust extraction machine. The Air Blower
should be in the 'OFF' position.
