GENERAL SAFETY RULES

GB
WARNING: For your own safety.
Read instruction manual before operating mitre saw.
1. KEEP GUARDS IN PLACE and in working order.
2. REMOVE ADJUSTING KEYS AND WRENCHES. Form
habit of checking to see that keys and adjusting wrenches
are removed from tool before turning it on.
3. KEEP WORK AREA CLEAN. Cluttered areas and benches
invite accidents.
4. DON'T USE IN DANGEROUS ENVIRONMENT. Don't
use power tools in damp or wet locations, or expose them to
rain. Keep work area well lit.
5. KEEP CHILDREN AWAY. All visitors should be kept a safe
distance from work area.
6. DON'T FORCE TOOL. It will do the job better and safer at
the rate for which it was designed.
7. USE PROPER EXTENSION CORD. Make sure your
extension cord is in good condition. When using an extension
cord, be sure to use one heavy enough to carry the current
your product will draw. An undersized cord will cause a drop
in line voltage resulting in loss of power and overheating.
8. WEAR PROPER APPAREL. Do not wear loose clothing,
gloves, neckties, rings, bracelets, or other jewellery which may
get caught in moving parts. Nonslip footwear recommended.
Wear protective hair covering to contain long hair.
9. ALWAYS USE SAFETY GLASSES. Also use face or dust
mask if cutting operation is dusty. Everyday eyeglasses only
have impact resistant lenses, they are NOT safety glasses.
10. SECURE WORK. Use clamps to hold work when
practical. It's safer than using your hand and it frees both
hands to operate tool.
11. DON'T OVERREACH. Keep proper footing and balance
at all times.
12. MAINTAIN TOOLS WITH CARE. Keep tools sharp and
clean for best and safest performance. Follow instructions
for lubricating and changing accessories.
13. DISCONNECT TOOLS before servicing and when
changing accessories, such as blades.
14. REDUCE THE RISK OF UNINTENTIONAL STARTING.
Make sure switch is in off position before plugging in.
15. USE RECOMMENDED ACCESSORIES. Only use
genuine Evolution accessories.
16. NEVER STAND ON TOOL. Serious injury could occur if the
tool is tipped or if the cutting tool is unintentionally contacted.
17. CHECK DAMAGED PARTS. Before further use of
the tool, a guard or other part that is damaged should be
carefully checked to determine that it will operate properly
and perform its intended function - check for alignment of
moving parts, binding of moving parts, breakage of parts,
mounting, and any other conditions that may affect its
operation. A guard or other part that is damaged should be
properly repaired or replaced.

18. Keep hands out of path of saw blade.
19. Never reach around saw blade.
20. Turn off tool and wait for saw blade to stop before
moving workpiece or changing settings.

cleaning.
22. To reduce the risk of injury, return carriage to the full rear
position after each crosscut operation.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS FOR FUTURE REFERENCE
ADDITIONAL SAFETY INSTRUCTION.
1. Although compact, this saw is heavy. To reduce the risk of
back injury, get help whenever you have to lift the saw.
2. To reduce the risk of back injury, hold the tool close to your
body when lifting. Bending your knees so you can lift with
your legs, not your back. Lift by using the handhold areas at
each side of the bottom of the base.
3. Never carry the mitre saw by the power cord or the trigger
grip of the handle. Carrying the tool by the power cord could
cause damage to the insulation or the wire connections
resulting in electric shock or fire.
4. Before removing the saw from the carton tighten the slide
lock knob to guard against sudden movement.
5. Place the saw on a secure stationary work surface and
check the saw over carefully.
6. Warning. Do not stare directly at the laser beam. A hazard
may exist if you deliberately stare into the beam, please
observe all safety rules as follows.
• The laser beam shall not be deliberately aimed at personnel
and shall be prevented from being directed towards the eyes
of a person.
• Always ensure the laser beam is aimed at the workpiece
without reflective surfaces, i.e. wood or rough coated
surfaces are acceptable.
• Do not change the laser light assembly with a different type.
