hearing loss.
• Keep bystanders a safe distance away from work area.
Anyone entering the work area must wear personal
protective equipment. Fragments of workpiece or of
a broken wheel may fly away and cause injury beyond
immediate area of operation.
• Hold the power tool by insulated gripping surfaces
only, when performing an operation where the cutting
accessory may contact hidden wiring or its own cord.
Cutting accessory contacting a "live" wire may make exposed
metal parts of the power tool "live" and could give the
operator an electric shock.
• Position the cord clear of the spinning accessory. If you
lose control, the cord may be cut or snagged and your hand
or arm may be pulled into the spinning wheel.
• Never lay the power tool down until the accessory has
come to a complete stop. The spinning wheel may grab the
surface and pull the power tool out of your control.
• Do not run the power tool while carrying it at your side.
Accidental contact with the spinning accessory could snag
your clothing, pulling the accessory into your body.
• Regularly clean the power tool's air vents. The motor's
fan will 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 betteries from the tool
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
