Refer to the “Service Parts Diagram”. Install a blade as
detailed in the “Installing or Removing the Blade” section.
1. MOUnTInG THe MITRe saW
WaRnInG:
To reduce the risk of injury from
unexpected saw movement, place the saw in the desired
location either on a workbench or other suitable machine
stand.
The base of the saw has four mounting holes through which
suitable bolts can be placed to secure the mitre saw. If
the saw is to be used in one location, permanently fasten
it to the workbench using appropriate fastenings. Locking
washers and nuts should be used on the underside of the
workbench.
1.
Tighten the slide, mitre and bevel locks.
2.
Position the saw so other people cannot stand behind it.
Thrown debris could injure people in its path.
3.
Place the saw on a firm, level surface where there is plenty
of room for handling and properly supporting the workpiece.
4.
Support the saw so that the table is level and the saw
does not rock.
5.
Bolt or clamp the saw to its support.
2. InsTallInG OR ReMOVInG a BlaDe
WaRnInG:
Only use genuine Evolution blades
which are designed for this machine. Ensure that the
maximum speed of the blade is compatible with the
machine.
note:
It is recommended that the operator considers
wearing protective gloves when handling the blade during
installation or when changing the machines blade.
1.
Ensure cutting head is up.
2.
Remove the guard operating arm retaining clip.
(fig. 1)
Release the guard operating arm from its pivot.
3.
Press safety lock button in and lift up the lower blade
guard.
(fig. 2)
4.
Press the black lock button to lock the arbor.
(fig. 3)
5.
Using the supplied hex key, release the arbor screw and
remove the outer blade flange and the sawblade.
(fig. 4)
6.
Install the new 255 mm (10”) saw blade. Make sure the
rotation arrow on the blade matches the clockwise rotation
arrow on the upper guard. The blade teeth should always
point downward at the front of the saw.
7.
Install the outer blade flange and arbor screw.
8.
Lock the arbor.
9.
Tighten arbor screw using moderate force, but do not
overtighten.
10.
Replace the guard operating arm and its retaining clip.
(fig. 1)
11.
Ensure the spanner is removed and the arbor lock has
released before operating the machine.
12.
Ensure the blade guard is fully functional before starting a cut.
note:
Spacers and spindle rings should not be used with this
machine and/or blade.
3. DUsT BaG (OPTIOnal aCCessORY)
To reduce build up of saw dust and maintain the efficiency of
cutting, this saw can be connected to a workshop vacuum
cleaner via the dust extraction port.
A dust bag can be fitted onto your mitre saw. To install it
simply fit the dust bag over the extraction port on the upper
blade guard. To empty the dust bag, remove from the dust
extraction port, open the dust bag by unzipping the slide
fastener.
note:
To ensure optimal dust collection, empty the dust bag
when it becomes approximately 75% full.
WaRnInG:
Before cutting metal materials, the
dust collection bag should be removed and replaced with a
blanking plug.
4. fITTInG THe WORKPIeCe sUPPORTs (fig.5)
(OPTIOnal aCCessORY)
Workpiece supports can be fitted to both sides of the
machine base if required.
1.
Right Hand side. Loosen the support retaining screw
located in the top front of the machines base.
2.
Insert the workpiece supports into the retaining holes in
the base. Ensure positive location.
note:
Approximately 70mm of the Workpiece Support
should slide into the base to provide positive location.
3.
Tighten the retaining screw.
4.
Repeat above for the LH side.
5. fITTInG THe RePeaT
sTOP (OPTIOnal aCCessORY)
1.
Loosen the repeat stop thumb screws sufficiently to allow
the arms of the workpiece support to slide through the holes
in the repeat stop.
2.
Tighten the thumb screws firmly to minimize movement
on the workpiece support. Position the repeat stop
approximately half way along the workpiece support.
3.
Attach the workpiece support to the machine base as
detailed below.
note:
By loosening the thumb screws the repeat stop can
