Operating Advice
Always securely clamp the material to be cut in the vice. To start
the tool, you must depress the main trigger switch to power the
motor. With the motor head in the raised position, switch on the
motor and allow to build up to full speed. Lower the motor head
to begin cutting. When starting a cut take care to introduce the
blade to the material slowly, using light pressure at first to keep
blade from grabbing, and then continue with normal pressure.
Do not force the tool – let the speed of the saw blade do the
work. Cutting performance will not improve by applying more
pressure on the tool, doing so may cause blade and motor life
to be reduced. Use less pressure as the blade exits through the
material. On completion of the cut, return the motor head to its
upright position and switch off the power. Keep the tool clean
of metal chips and other dirt and debris.
Work Piece Clamping
Position the work piece in the vice so that if a jam occurs, the
blade will not tend to throw it from the vice. Clamp it securely.
Angles should be in an inverted position so that the point of the
section is uppermost. The saw cuts most efficiently if the blade
is cutting the thinnest section of the material (FIG 2 - P12).
Maintenance & Troubleshooting
Keep tool and cord clean. Regularly vacuum or blow out
the motor unit to keep its ventilation clear, also check that
the machine is well lubricated. Inspect weekly. Avoid using
cleaning products, which include benzene, trichloroethelene,
chloride, and ammonia as these can damage plastic parts.
In case of electrical or mechanical malfunction, immediately
switch off the tool and disconnect the plug.
Brush Inspection & Replacement
Excessive sparking may indicate the presence of dirt in the motor
or worn out carbon brushes. Check for wear after the first 50
hours of use and then at 10 hours use intervals. Replace when
they reach 6mm. The brush holders are located on the motor
housing opposite each other and unscrew to allow access to the
brushes. For all other service and maintenance, take the machine
to an authorised service centre after typically 60 cutting hours,
dependent upon the type of workload it has endured.
Lubrication
Your machines motor bearings are lubricated at the factory with
sufficient lubricant to last for the lifetime of the unit under normal
operating conditions. Other movable parts can be lubricated with
light machine oil as necessary. It is recommended that the machine
be taken to the nearest SERVICE CENTER / DEALER at least once
a year for a thorough cleaning & lubrication. Please contact 0114
251 1022 (UK) or 866-EVO-TOOL (US) for assistance and /or
information. All repairs and servicing made by these centres are
fully guaranteed against defective materials and workmanship.
