draw the dust inside the housing and excessive accumulation of
powdered metal may cause electrical hazards.
• Do not operate the power tool near flammable materials.
Sparks could ignite these materials.
FURTHER SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS FOR ABRASIVE CUTTING-OFF
OPERATION
Kickback and related warnings
Kickback is a sudden reaction to a pinched or snagged rotating
wheel. Pinching or snagging causes rapid stalling of the rotating
wheel which in turn causes the uncontrolled power tool to be forced
in the direction opposite of the wheel's rotation at the point of the
binding.
For example, if an abrasive wheel is snagged or pinched by the
workpiece, the edge of the wheel that is entering into the pinch
point can dig into the surface of the material causing the wheel to
climb out or kick out. The wheel may either jump toward or away
from the operator, depending on direction of the wheel's movement
at the point of pinching. Abrasive wheels may also break under
these conditions. Kickback is the result of power tool misuse and/or
incorrect operating procedures or conditions and can be avoided by
taking proper precautions as given below.
• Maintain a firm grip on the power tool and position your
body and arm to allow you to resist kickback forces. Always
use auxiliary handle, if provided, for maximum control over
kickback or torque reaction during start-up. The operator can
control torque reactions or kickback forces, if proper precautions
are taken.
• Never place your hand near the rotating accessory. Accessory
may kickback over your hand.
• Do not position your body in line with the rotating wheel.
Kickback will propel the tool in direction opposite to the wheel's
movement at the point of snagging.
• Use special care when working corners, sharp edges etc. Avoid
bouncing and snagging the accessory. Corners, sharp edges or
bouncing have a tendency to snag the rotating accessory and
cause loss of control or kickback.
• Do not attach a saw chain, woodcarving blade, segmented
diamond wheel with a peripheral gap greater than 10 mm or
toothed saw blade. Such blades create frequent kickback and
loss of control.
• Do not "jam" the wheel or apply excessive pressure. Do not
attempt to make an excessive depth of cut. Overstressing the
wheel increases the loading and susceptibility to twisting or
binding of the wheel in the cut and the possibility of kickback or
wheel breakage.
• When wheel is binding or when interrupting a cut for any
reason, switch off the power tool and hold the power tool
motionless until the wheel comes to a complete stop. Never
attempt to remove the wheel from the cut while the wheel is
in motion otherwise kickback may occur. Investigate and take
corrective action to eliminate the cause of wheel binding.
• Do not restart the cutting operation in the workpiece. Let
the wheel reach full speed and carefully re-enter the cut.
The wheel may bind, walk up or kickback if the power tool is
restarted in the workpiece.
• Support panels or any oversized workpiece to minimize the
risk of wheel pinching and kickback. Large workpieces tend
to sag under their own weight. Supports must be placed under
the workpiece near the line of cut and near the edge of the
workpiece on both sides of the wheel.
• Use extra caution when making a "pocket cut" into existing
walls or
other blind areas. The protruding wheel may cut gas or water
pipes, electrical wiring or objects that can cause kickback.
• Wear a dust mask. Exposure to dust particles can be harmful to
your health and make it difficult to breath. Use a dust extraction
system and wear a suitable protective mask.
• Wear noise protection. Exposure to high volumes of noise may
cause hearing damage.
• Do not use any abrasive wheels.
• 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.
• Use only saw blades recommended by the manufacturer.
RESIDUAL RISKS
Even with application of safety standards and using the tool as
prescribed, certain residual risks can remain:
• Risk of personal injury due to prolonged use.
• Risk of injury caused by dust.
• Risk of injury caused by flying objects.
• Risk of burns due to accessories becoming hot.
• Risk of electric shock due to cutting through electric cables.
When cutting through floors, ceilings of walls ensure there are no
hidden cables or water pipes.

CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE

WARNING: Disconnect the tool from the power source
before any adjustments, cleaning, or maintenance is carried out.
• Use compressed air to blow dirt out of the main housing air
vents and the blade guard. Wear approved eye protection and
a dust mask.
• Use a cloth dampened with water to clean the other areas of
the tool. Never use solvent based or harsh chemicals of any type
as this may weaken, damage or destroy plastic components.
• Do not attempt to modify the tool or accessories in any way.
• When servicing only use Evolution original parts and carried
out by a qualified person.
NOISE WARNING
WARNING: The noise emissions during actual use of the
power tool can differ from the declared values depending on the
ways in which the tool is used especially what kind of workpiece
is processed.
WARNING: The need to identify safety measures to protect
the operator that are based on an estimation of exposure in
the actual conditions of use (taking account of all parts of the
operating cycle such as the times when the tool is switched off and
when it is running idle in addition to the trigger time).
The declared noise emission value(s) have been measured in
accordance with a standard test method and may be used for
comparing one tool with another. The declared noise emission value(s)
may also be used in a preliminary assessment of exposure.

ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION

Waste electrical products should not be disposed of with
household waste. Please recycle where facilities exist. Check with
