CLEANING
After each use the machine should be cleaned. Remove all sawdust,
etc from the visible parts of the machine with a workshop vacuum
cleaner. A workshop dust extraction can also be connected to the
machine dust extraction port at the rear of the machine. This should
remove debris from the inside of the machine. Never use solvents to
clean plastic parts, as solvents can damage them. Clean only with a
soft damp cloth.
RIVING KNIFE
The riving knife is a very important component and comes factory
fitted and correctly aligned and adjusted. The riving knife prevents
the work from chattering and/or binding as it passes through the
blade. Inspect the riving knife at regular intervals and if it is worn or
damaged have it replaced with an original replacement part, fitted
by a competent technician.
Note:
Use only a genuine
Evolution riving knife,
as this is a
dedicated component for this machine. Non genuine parts could be
dangerous. If in any doubt, please contact the helpline.
ADJUSTING THE RIVING KNIFE
The riving knife should be adjusted so that the teeth of the blade are
within 3-5mm of the edge of the riving knife
(Fig. 46)
.
To adjust the riving knife, remove the table insert as shown on
p. 25
,
raise the blade to its maximum height and loosen the bolt securing
the riving knife
(Fig. 47)
with the spanner supplied. Adjust the riving
knife to the correct distance of 3-5mm, ensuring the fixing hole for
the blade guard is level with the top of the blade and re-tighten the
bolt. Replace the table insert.
PUSH STICK
A plastic push stick
(Fig. 48)
is provided with the machine and has its
own dedicated storage bracket to the LH side of the machines main
body. When not in use store the push stick on the machine.
(Fig. 49)
Note:
If the push stick becomes damaged it should be replaced.
If the operator makes their own push stick, we recommend that it
follows the same pattern as that supplied. Replacement push sticks
are available from Evolution Power Tools.
