The track adaptor is fitted to the base plate under the motor.
To fit the adaptor, hook the adaptor arms over the base plate
edge ensuring the base plate return sits in the channels on the
underside of the adaptor. Ensure the track adaptor arms are
located over the base plate saddles. Secure the adaptor to the
base plate using the provided wing nuts. (Fig.16)
The track adaptor should only be fitted and removed when the
head is in the up position on the depth lock. It has two cams
which project into the base plate channel (one at each end).
'Turn-buttons' allow the operator to rotate these cams. (Fig. 17)
The operator should adjust these cams so that when the
machine is placed correctly on a track it can be moved forwards
or backwards easily and smoothly but without any lateral
movement (wobble) being detectable.
CUTTING ADVICE
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.
•
Do not force the machine. The overload warning (light will
illuminate red).
•
Allow the speed of the saw blade to do the work. Cutting
performance will not be improved by applying excessive
pressure to the machine and blade life will be reduced.
•
Place front edge of base plate squarely on the workpiece.
Before starting the motor ensure that the blade is not in
contact with the workpiece.
•
When starting a cut, align the cut-outs on the base plate
to the required cut line on the workpiece or alternatively
using the viewing window align the projected shadow
of the blade to the required cut line on the workpiece,
taking care to introduce the blade to the material slowly
so as not to damage blade teeth.
•
Use both hands to move the saw forwards through the
workpiece.
•
Apply smooth, constant pressure to move the saw
forwards through the workpiece.
Note: All Evolution Steel Cutting machines have an automatic
lower blade guard (16) 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.
