ADJUSTING CUT HEAD POSITION
The rail adjustment function on this product is to
allow the user to move the blade to the optimum
position to cut several popular sizes and profiles of
metal. (Fig.27)
There are 3 indexed positions available, Front,
Centre and Rear. See (Fig.21 a,b,c)
To adjust the position of the cutting head, rotate
the locking lever (Fig.22) Retract the spring
loaded locking pin, move the cutting head on
the rails to the required position (Fig.23) Ensure
locking pin fully engages into the relevant rail
hole, tighten locking lever. (Fig.24)
WARNING: This machine is not to be used for
sliding cuts, The cutting head MUST be locked
into one of the 3 index positions during all cutting.
This product is preset and calibrated in the factory
so the blade is at 90-degrees to the rear fences.
If a user wants to calibrate their machine after
transportation / assembly > dis-assembly the
following method can be employed.
Firstly loosen the screws securing the mitre angle
plate (Fig.25) with the cutting head in the locked
down position. Check, using an engineers square
if the blade is at right angles to the fence – if not
adjust to the square position; and retighten the
screws.
After this, check the pointer is aligned with the
zero graduation mark – if not loosen its retaining
screw, reposition as necessary and retighten this.
WARNING: Only clear chippings from the
machine with the machine disconnected from the
mains power supply.
Some of the chippings may be sharp, or in other
ways pose a hazard to the operator. It may be
necessary for the operator to wear suitable PPE.
Dispose of the chippings in an environmentally
responsible way.

OPERATING ADVICE

(PRE OPERATION CHECKS)
Note: As all operating environments are unique
and diverse, Evolution Power Tools offers the
following general advice on safe operational
procedures and practices for consideration by the
operator.
This advice cannot be exhaustive as Evolution has
no influence on the type of workshops or working
environments in which this machine may be used.
We recommend that the operator seeks advice
from a competent authority or the workshop
supervisor if they are at unsure about any aspect

of using these machines.
It is important that routine safety checks are
carried out (at each time of usage) before the
operator uses the machine.
WARNING: These pre-use safety checks should be
carried out with the machine disconnected from
the mains power supply.
• Check that all safety guards are operating
correctly, and that all adjustment handles/
screws are securely tightened.
• Check that the blade is secure and installed
correctly. Also check that it is the correct blade
for the material being cut.
• Check the security of the workpiece in
the machine.
• Check the integrity of the power cord and its
position and routing.
PPE
The operator should wear all relevant PPE
(Personal Protection Equipment) necessary for
the task ahead. This could include safety glasses,
dust masks, safety shoes etc.
PREPARING TO MAKE A CUT
WARNING: Do not overreach. Keep good footing
and balance. Stand to one side so that your face
and body are out of line of a possible kickback.
WARNING: Freehand cutting is a major cause of
accidents and should not be attempted.
• The machines base should be clean and free
from any 'swarf' or sawdust etc. before the
workpiece is clamped into position.
• Ensure that the workpiece is firmly secured in
the vice.
• Ensure that the 'cut-off' material is free to move
sideways away from the blade when the cut is
completed.
• Ensure that the 'cut-off' piece cannot become
'jammed' in any other part of the machine.
If the workpiece being cut could cause your hand
or fingers to come within 150mm of the saw
blade, the workpiece is too small.
THE ON/OFF TRIGGER SWITCH
These models are equipped with a none latching
safety start trigger switch.
TO START THE MOTOR:
• Slide the safety lock on the left side of the
trigger switch to the left (Fig. 26).
• Depress the main trigger switch.
WARNING: Never start the saw with the cutting
edge of the saw blade in contact with the
workpiece surface.
