DUAL-SiDED iNNER-FLANGE (USA Model Only)
USA models only are supplied with a dual-sided inner-flange
which enables you to safely fit Evolution multipurpose blades
with a 25.4mm (1”) arbor and by
‘reversing’ this dual-sided
inner-flange, you can also safely fit saw blades with a 16mm
(5/8”) arbor as available in the USA market.
Note:
Evolution Multipurpose blades save time and money.
Ideal for cutting mild steel, aluminium, plastics and wood
(even wood containing embedded nails)! For use only with
an Evolution power tool saw. All Evolution Multipurpose
TCT saw blades are made in Japan and are of premium
quality and performance.
1) 25.4mm (1”) ARBOR BLADES
WARNiNG:
Only carry out this operation with the machine
disconnected from the mains supply.
Note: It is recommended that the operator considers wearing
protective gloves when handling the blade during installation
or when changing the blade.
• The dual-sided inner-flange has a 25.4mm (1”) arbor
ring elevation, indicated by the black circle
(Fig. 40B).
• The 25.4mm (1”) ring elevation will be supplied pointing
‘outwards’ from the motor. This provides a 25.4mm (1”)
arbor
(Fig. 40C).
• Install the new blade
(Fig. 40D).
Make sure the rotation
arrow on the blade matches the clockwise rotation arrow
on the upper guard.
Note: The blade teeth should always point downward
at the front of the saw.
• Install the outer-blade flange, washer and arbor screw.
• Lock the arbor and tighten the arbor screw using moderate
force, but do not overtighten.
• Ensure the Hex Key is removed and the arbor lock has
released before operating.
• Ensure the blade guard is fully functional before using
the machine.
2) 16mm (5/8”) ARBOR BLADES
WARNiNG:
Only carry out this operation with the machine
disconnected from the mains supply.
Note: It is recommended that the operator considers wearing
protective gloves when handling the blade during installation
or when changing the blade.
• By ‘reversing’ this dual-sided inner-flange, you can also safely
fit saw blades with a 16mm (5/8”) arbor as available in
the USA market
(Fig. 40E).
• When ‘reversed’, the 25.4mm (1”) ring elevation will be
pointing ‘inwards’ to the motor. This now provides a 16mm
(5/8”) arbor on the adjacent side
(Fig. 40F).
• Install the new blade (Fig. 40G). Make sure the rotation
arrow on the blade matches the clockwise rotation arrow
on the upper guard.

at the front of the saw.
• Install the outer-blade flange, washer and arbor screw.
