power tool on. A wrench or a key left attached to a rotating
part of the power tool may result in personal injury.
e) Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at
all times. This enables better control of the power tool in
unexpected situations.
f) Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewellery. Keep
your hair, clothing and gloves away from moving parts. Loose
clothes, jewellery or long hair can be caught in moving parts.
g) If devices are provided for the connection of dust extraction
and collection facilities, ensure these are connected and properly
used. Use of dust collection can reduce dust-related hazards.
4) Power Tool Use & Care
a) Do not force the power tool. Use the correct power tool for
your application. The correct power tool will do the job better
and safer if used at the rate for which it was designed.
b) Do not use the power tool if the switch does not turn it on
and off. Any power tool that cannot be controlled with the
switch is dangerous and must be repaired.
c) Disconnect the plug from the power source and/or
the battery pack from the power tool before making any
adjustments, changing accessories, or storing power tools.
Such preventive safety measures reduce the risk of starting
the power tool accidentally.
d) Store idle power tools out of the reach of children and do
not allow persons unfamiliar with the power tool or these
instructions to operate the power tool. Power tools are
dangerous in the hands of untrained users.
e) Maintain power tools. Check for misalignment or binding
of moving parts, breakage of parts and any other condition
that may affect the power tool’s operation. If damaged, have
the power tool repaired before use. Many accidents are
caused by poorly maintained power tools.
f) Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly maintained
cutting tools with sharp cutting edges are less likely to bind
and are easier to control.
g) Use the power tool, accessories and tool bits etc. in
accordance with these instructions, taking into account the
working conditions and the work to be performed. Use of
the power tool for operations different from those intended
could result in a hazardous situation.
5) Service
a) Have your tool repaired by a qualified person. This electric
tool complies with the relevant safety rules. Repairs should
only be carried out by qualified persons using original spare
b) When servicing a tool, use only genuine Evolution
replacement parts. Follow instructions in the Maintenance
section of this manual. Use of unauthorized parts or failure
to follow Maintenance Instructions may create a risk of
electric shock or injury.
HEALTH ADVICE
WARNING!
When drilling, sanding, sawing or grinding, dust particles will
be produced. In some instances, depending on the materials
you are working with, this dust can be particularly harmful
to you (e.g. lead from old gloss paint).You are advised to
consider the risks associated with the materials you are
working with and to reduce the risk of exposure.
You should:
-Work in a well-ventilated area.
-Work with approved safety equipment, such as dust masks
that are specially designed to filter microscopic particles.
SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS FOR ALL SAWS
a) DANGER: Keep hands away from cutting area and the
blade. Keep your second hand on the auxiliary handle, or
motor housing. If both hands are holding the saw, they
cannot be cut by the blade.
b) Do not reach underneath the workpiece. The guard cannot
protect you from the blade below the workpiece.
c) Adjust the cutting depth to the thickness of the workpiece.
Less than a full tooth of the blade teeth should be visible
below the workpiece.
d) Never hold piece being cut in your hands or across your
leg. Secure the workpiece to a stable platform. It is important
to support the work properly to minimize body exposure,
blade binding, or loss of control.
e) Hold power tool by insulated gripping surfaces when
performing an operation where the cutting tool may contact
hidden wiring or its own cord. Contact with a “live” wire will
also make exposed metal parts of the power tool “live” and
shock the operator.
f) When ripping always use a rip fence or straight edge guide.
This improves the accuracy of cut and reduces the chance
of blade binding.
g) Always use blades with correct size and shape (diamond
versus round) of arbor holes. Blades that do not match the
mounting hardware of the saw will run eccentrically, causing
loss of control.
h) Never use damaged or incorrect blade washers or bolt.
The blade washers and bolt were specially designed for your
saw, for optimum performance and safety of operation.
Further safety instructions for all saws
Causes and operator prevention of kickback:
Kickback is a sudden reaction to a pinched, bound or
misaligned saw blade, causing an uncontrolled saw to lift up
and out of the workpiece toward the operator:
1. When the blade is pinched or bound tightly by the kerf
closing down, the blade stalls and the motor reaction drives
the unit rapidly back toward the operator;
2. If the blade becomes twisted or misaligned in the cut,
the teeth at the back edge of the blade can dig into the top
surface of the workpiece causing the blade to climb out of
the kerf and jump back towards the operator.
