INTENDED USE OF THIS POWER TOOL

This product is a mitre saw and has been designed
to be used with special Evolution blades. Only use
accessories designed for use in this machine and/or those
recommended specifically by Evolution Power Tools Ltd.
When fitted with an appropriate blade this machine can be
used to cut:
Mild Steel, Aluminium, Wood and PVC
Note: Cutting galvanised steel may reduce blade life.
PLEASE READ THE GENERAL POWER TOOL SAFETY
BOOKLET PROVIDED SEPARATELY BEFORE USING THIS
TOOL.
SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS FOR MITRE SAWS
• Mitre saws are intended to cut wood or wood-like
products, they cannot be used with abrasive cut-off
wheels for cutting ferrous material such as bars, rods,
studs, etc. Abrasive dust causes moving parts such as the
lower guard to jam. Sparks from abrasive cutting will burn
the lower guard, the kerf insert and other plastic parts.
• Use clamps to support the workpiece whenever possible.
If supporting the workpiece by hand, you must always
keep your hand at least 100mm from either side of the
saw blade. Do not use this saw to cut pieces that are
too small to be securely clamped or held by hand. If
your hand is placed too close to the saw blade, there is an
increased risk of injury from blade contact.
• The workpiece must be stationary and clamped or held
against both the fence and the table. Do not feed the
workpiece into the blade or cut "freehand" in any way.
Unrestrained or moving workpieces could be thrown at high
speeds, causing injury.
• Push the saw through the workpiece.
Do not pull the saw through the workpiece. To make a
cut, raise the saw head and pull it out over the workpiece
without cutting, start the motor, press the saw head
down and push the saw through the workpiece. Cutting
on the pull stroke is likely to cause the saw blade to climb on
top of the workpiece and violently throw the blade assembly
towards the operator.
• Never cross your hand over the intended line of cutting
either in front or behind the saw blade. Supporting the
workpiece "cross handed" i.e. holding the workpiece to the
right of the saw blade with your left hand or vice versa is
very dangerous.
• Do not reach behind the fence with either hand closer
than 100mm from either side of the saw blade, to remove
wood scraps, or for any other reason while the blade is
spinning. The proximity of the spinning saw blade to your
hand may not be obvious and you may be seriously injured.
• Inspect your workpiece before cutting. If the workpiece
is bowed or warped, clamp it with the outside bowed
face toward the fence. Always make certain that there
is no gap between the workpiece, fence and table along
the line of the cut. Bent or warped workpieces can twist
or shift and may cause binding on the spinning saw blade
while cutting. There should be no nails or foreign objects in
the workpiece.
• Do not use the saw until the table is clear of all tools,
wood scraps, etc., except for the workpiece. Small debris
or loose pieces of wood or other objects that contact the
revolving blade can be thrown with high speed.
• Cut only one workpiece at a time. Stacked multiple
workpieces cannot be adequately clamped or braced and
may bind on the blade or shift during cutting.
• Ensure the mitre saw is mounted or placed on a level,
firm work surface before use. A level and firm work surface
reduces the risk of the mitre saw becoming unstable.
• Plan your work. Every time you change the bevel or
mitre angle setting, make sure the adjustable fence is set
correctly to support the workpiece and will not interfere
with the blade or the guarding system. Without turning
the tool "ON" and with no workpiece on the table, move the
saw blade through a complete simulated cut to assure there
will be no interference or danger of cutting the fence.
• Provide adequate support such as table extensions, saw
horses, etc. for a workpiece that is wider or longer than
the table top. Workpieces longer or wider than the mitre
saw table can tip if not securely supported. If the cut-off
piece or workpiece tips, it can lift the lower guard or be
thrown by the spinning blade.
• Do not use another person as a substitute for a table
extension or as additional support. Unstable support for
the workpiece can cause the blade to bind or the workpiece
to shift during the cutting operation pulling you and the
helper into the spinning blade.
• The cut-off piece must not be jammed or pressed by
any means against the spinning saw blade. If confined,
i.e. using length stops, the cut-off piece could get wedged
against the blade and thrown violently.
• Always use a clamp or a fixture designed to properly
support round material such as rods or tubing. Rods have
a tendency to roll while being cut, causing the blade to "bite"
and pull the work with your hand into the blade.
• Let the blade reach full speed before contacting the
workpiece. This will reduce the risk of the workpiece being
thrown.
• If the workpiece or blade becomes jammed, turn the
mitre saw off. Wait for all moving parts to stop and
disconnect the plug from the power source and/or
remove the battery pack. Then work to free the jammed
material. Continued sawing with a jammed workpiece could
cause loss of control or damage to the mitre saw.
• After finishing the cut, release the switch, hold the
saw head down and wait for the blade to stop before
removing the cut-off piece. Reaching with your hand near
the coasting blade is dangerous.
• Hold the handle firmly when making an incomplete
cut or when releasing the switch before the saw head
is completely in the down position. The braking action
of the saw may cause the saw head to be suddenly pulled
downward, causing a risk of injury.
ADDITIONAL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS FOR MITRE SAWS
• Use only saw blades that comply with the characteristics
specified in this manual.
• Use only saw blade diameter(s) in accordance with the
markings.
• Use only saw blades with a speed marking that is higher
than or equal to the speed marked on the tool.
• Avoid heating the blade tips. Avoid overheating or
melting the materials. When cutting plastic, let the tool do
the work. Do not force the tool or cut too slowly which could
result in melting the plastic.
• Ensure the saw is always stable and secure (e.g. fixed to a
bench or use a suitable mitre saw stand).
• Before use, thoroughly check the product and batteries
for any damage and material fatigue.
• Always use the guards on the product, do not use the
product if the guards are not in place and functioning
correctly. When the cutting head is in the upper position,
the lower blade guard should cover all the blade. Only when
the cutting head is lowered the lower blade guard should
