This arm will provide extra stability to prevent the machine from
toppling in the event of sudden release of the Cutting Head.
(7.4)
hold down clamp (Fig. 4)
Two sockets (one either side) are incorporated into the rear of
the machines fence. These sockets are for positioning the Hold
Down Clamp.
• Fit the clamp to the retaining socket that best suits the
cutting application, ensuring that it is fully pushed down.
• Tighten the fence thumbscrew to lock the pillar of the clamp
into the fence socket.
• Place the workpiece to be cut onto the saw table, against the
fence and in the desired position.
• Adjust the clamp using the thumbscrews and hand-wheel so
that it securely holds the workpiece to the saw table.
Conduct a ‘dry run’ with the power disconnected. Ensure that
the Hold Down Clamp does not interfere with the path of the
blade, or with the path of any other part of the Cutting Head as
it is lowered.
The laser
This machine is equipped with a Laser Cutting Guide. This allows
the operator to preview the path of the blade through the
workpiece. The ON/OFF switch for the Laser Guide is positioned
on the top of the motor housing.
(Fig 5)
Avoid direct eye contact with the laser beam, and do not use on
material that could reflect the laser beam.
WARNiNG:
Do not stare directly at the laser beam. A hazard
may exist if you deliberately stare into the beam. Please observe
all of the following safety rules.
• The laser beam must not be deliberately aimed at personnel
and must be prevented from being directed towards the eyes
of a person.
• Always ensure that the laser beam is used only on workpieces
that have non-reflective surfaces, i.e natural wood or matt
surfaces etc.
• Never exchange the laser module assembly for a different
type or class of laser.
• Repairs to the laser module must only be conducted by
Evolution Power Tools or their authorized agent.
LASER ADJUSTMENT FOR 210mm (8-1/4”)
EU MODEL & 255mm (10”) USA MODEL
WARNiNG:
At no time during this procedure should the
motor be started.
To check laser alignment:
• Place a piece of cardboard, or similar,
onto the rotary table of the machine.
• With the carriage slide in the rearmost position, lower the Cutting
Head so that a blade tooth makes a mark in the cardboard.
• Allow the Cutting Head to rise, and then repeat the above
with the carriage slide in an approximate mid- way position.
• Again repeat, but with the carriage slide moved to its most
forward position.
• With the Cutting Head raised, turn on the laser and slide
the Cutting Head backwards and forwards to observe if the
projected laser beam is in line with the marks previously made:
Beam is aligned with the marks = No further action required.
Beam is not parallel with the marks = Follow section
A
Beam is parallel but not aligned with the marks = Proceed to
B
A.
If the laser beam is not parallel to the marks proceed as follows:
• Untighten the clamping screw
(Fig. 6, a)
• Carefully rotate the laser module,
(Fig. 6, b)
until the line is
parallel with the marks in the cardboard.
• Re-tighten the clamping screw.
• Recheck the alignment.
B.
If the laser beam is parallel with the marks,
but not going through them:
• Slacken the two screws.
(Fig. 7, c)
• The laser mounting block can now be moved sideways to
align the laser beam with the marks made in the cardboard.
• When the laser beam is in the correct place, re-tighten the
two screws.
• Repeat procedure ‘A’ to check alignment.
Note:
The above adjustments & alignments should be checked
on a regular basis to ensure laser accuracy.
