CUTTING ADVICE

(17)
WARNING: The operator must always be aware
of the position and routing of the power cable.
The cable must be routed in such a way that
there is no possibility of the blade coming into
contact with the mains cable.
The cable should not pose a trip (or any
other type) of hazard to the operator or any
bystanders.
• Do not force the machine.
• Allow the speed of the saw blade do the work.
Cutting performance will not be improved by
applying excessive pressure to the machine
and blade life will be reduced.
• When using the parallel edge guide, ensure
that it is parallel with the blade. The blade
and/or motor could become damaged if the
machine is used with an incorrectly adjusted
parallel edge guide.
• Place front edge of sole plate squarely on the
workpiece. Before starting the motor ensure
that the blade is not in contact with the
workpiece.
• When starting a cut, sight the cutting line
with the line of cut guide taking care to
introduce the blade to the material slowly, so
as not to damage blade teeth.
Note: Two (2) line of cut guides are provided at
the front and at the rear of the sole plate. These
offer the operator an indication of the position
of the blades exit from the material being cut
when the blade is set at 0˚ or at 45˚ bevel angle.
• Use both hands to move the saw forwards
through the work piece.
• Apply smooth, constant pressure to move
the saw forwards through the workpiece.
Note: All Evolution Steel Cutting machines
have an automatic lower blade guard which
has a specially shaped leading front edge. This
feature ensures that the blade guard retracts
smoothly and effortlessly as the machines
blade enters the workpiece. As the blade exits
the workpiece the lower blade guard will
automatically return to its normal position
covering the blade completely.
When a cut has been completed:
• Release the ON/OFF Trigger switch.

• Allow the blade to come to a complete stop.
• Remove the machine from the workpiece
allowing the lower blade guard to return to
its normal position covering the blade.
WARNING: If the motor should stop or stall
whilst a cut is being attempted release the
trigger switch immediately. Disconnect the
machine from the power supply and remove
the machine from the workpiece. Investigate
the cause of the problem and rectify if possible.
Only attempt to restart the motor when you
are absolutely sure that it is safe to do so.
MAINTENANCE & ADJUSTMENTS
Bevel Angle – checking and adjustment
Note: The 0˚ (blade vertical) and 45˚ bevel
angle positions can be checked and adjusted
if required.
WARNING: The machine must be
disconnected from the mains power supply
when attempting these procedures.
To check 0˚ position (all machines):
• Set the blade to the vertical position and
against its (adjustable) 0˚ stop.
• Check the blade against the sole plate using
an engineers precision square or set square
(not supplied). Take care to avoid the TCT tips
of the teeth. The blade should be at angle of
exactly 90˚ to sole plate.
Note: The lower blade guard can be rotated
(manually) up into the upper blade guard. This
will help accurate positioning of the engineers
square/set square and thus aid the checking
process.
If adjustment is required:
Turn the adjustable stop (Fig. 16?) clockwise
or counter clockwise using a Hex Key (not
supplied) until the blade is registering an
exact angle of 90˚ to the sole plate.
To check 45˚ bevel setting:
• Set the blade to the 450 position using the
tilting mechanism, ensuring that it is against
the (adjustable) 45˚ stop.
• Check the blade against the sole plate using
a 45˚ engineers square/ setsquare (not
