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.

Kickback is the result of saw misuse and/ or incorrect operating procedures or conditions and can be avoided by taking proper precautions as given below. a) Maintain a ﬁrm grip with both hands on the saw and position your arms to resist kickback forces. Position your body to either side of the blade, but not in line with the blade. Kickback could cause the

saw to jump backwards, but kickback forces can be controlled by the operator, if proper precautions are taken.

b) If the blades are binding, or when interrupting a cut for any reason, release the trigger and hold the saw motionless in the material until the blades come to a complete stop. Never attempt to remove the saw from the work or pull the saw backward while the blades are in motion or kickback may occur. Investigate and take

corrective actions to eliminate the cause of blade binding.

SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS FOR ALL SAWS

www.evolutionfury.com

c) When restarting a saw in the workpiece, centre the saw blade in the kerf and check that saw teeth are not engaged into the material. If saw blade is

binding, it may walk up or kickback from the workpiece as the saw is restarted.

d) Support large panels to minimise the risk of blade pinching and kickback. Large panels tend to sag under their own weight. Supports must be placed under the

panel on both sides, near the line of cut and near the edge of the panel.

e) Blade depth and bevel adjusting locking levers must be tight and secure before making a cut. If blade adjustment shifts while

cutting. it may cause binding and kickback.

f) Do not use dull or damaged blades.

Unsharpened or improperly set blades produce a narrow kerf causing excessive friction, blade binding and kickback.

g) Use extra caution when making a “plunge cut” into existing walls or other blind areas. The protruding blade may cut

objects that can cause kickback.

Safety instructions for saws a) Check lower guard for proper closing before each use. Do not operate the saw if lower guard does not move freely and close instantly. Never clamp or tie the lower guard into the open position. If

saw is accidentally dropped, lower guard may be bent. Raise the lower guard with the retracting handle and make sure it moves freely and does not touch the blade or any other part, in all angles and depths of cut.

b) Check the operation of the lower guard spring. If the guard and the spring are not

operating properly, they must be serviced before use. Lower guard may operate sluggishly due to damaged parts, gummy deposits, or a build-up of debris.

c) Lower guard may be retracted manually only for special cuts such as “plunge cuts” and “compound cuts.” Raise lower guard by retracting handle and as soon as blade enters the material, the lower guard must be released. For

all other sawing, the lower guard should operate automatically.

d) Always observe that the lower guard is covering the blade before placing saw down on bench or ﬂoor. An unprotected,

coasting blade will cause the saw to walk backwards, cutting whatever is in its path. Be aware of the time it takes for the blade to stop after switch is released.

ADDITIONAL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

Warning: Be sure to read and understand all

instructions. Failure to follow all instructions listed below may result in electric shock, ﬁre and/or serious personal injury.

a) Keep guards in place and in working order. b) Remove adjusting keys and wrenches.

Form the habit of checking to see that keys and adjusting wrenches are removed from tool before turning it on. c) Keep work area clean. Cluttered areas and benches invite accidents.

d) Do not use in a dangerous environment.

Do not use power tools in damp or wet locations, or expose them to rain. Keep work area well lit. e) Keep children away. All visitors should be kept a safe distance from work area. f) Do not force the tool. It will do the job better and safer if used at the rate for which it was designed. g) Use proper extension cord. Make sure your extension cord is in good condition. When using an extension cord, be sure to use one heavy enough to carry the current your product will draw. An undersized cord will cause a drop in line voltage resulting in loss of power and overheating. h) Wear proper apparel. Do not wear loose clothing, gloves, neckties, rings, bracelets, or other jewellery which may get caught in moving parts. Nonslip footwear recommended. Wear protective hair covering to contain long hair. i) Always use safety glasses. Also use face or dust mask if cutting operation is dusty. Everyday eyeglasses only have impact resistant lenses, they are NOT safety glasses.

ADDITIONAL SPECIFIC SAFETY RULES

www.evolutionfury.com

j) Secure work. Use clamps to hold work

when practical. It’s safer than using your hand and it frees both hands to operate tool. k) Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. l) Maintain tools with care. Keep tools sharp and clean for best and safest performance. Follow instructions for lubricating and changing accessories. Do not use High Speed Steel (HSS) saw blades, or blades that are damaged or deformed. m) Disconnect tools before servicing and when changing accessories, such as blades.

n) Reduce the risk of unintentional starting. Make sure switch is in off position

before plugging in. o) Use recommended accessories. Only use genuine Evolution accessories. When ﬁtted with the correct blade (Fury 3 Multi-purpose TCT Blade) this saw is recommended to cut Mild Steel, Aluminium and Wood. p) Never stand on tool. Serious injury could occur if the tool is tipped or if the cutting tool is unintentionally contacted. q) Check damaged parts. Before further use of the tool, a guard or other part that is damaged should be carefully checked to determine that it will operate properly and perform its intended function - check for alignment of moving parts, binding of moving parts, breakage of parts, mounting, and any other conditions that may affect its operation. A guard or other part that is damaged should be properly repaired or replaced.

r). Keep hands out of path of saw blade. s) Never reach around saw blade. t) Turn off tool and wait for saw blade to stop before moving workpiece or changing settings. u) Disconnect power before changing blade, servicing or cleaning. v) To reduce the risk of injury, return carriage to the full rear position after each crosscut operation.

CARRYING YOUR MITRE SAW

Safety Advice

1. Although compact, this saw is heavy. To reduce the risk of back injury, get competent help whenever you have to lift the saw.

2. To reduce the risk of back injury, hold the tool close to your body when lifting. Bending your knees so you can lift with your legs, not your back. Lift by using the handhold areas at each side of the bottom of the base.

3. Never carry the mitre saw by the power cord or the trigger grip of the handle. Carrying the tool by the power cord could cause damage to the insulation or the wire connections resulting in electric shock or ﬁre.

4. Before moving the saw tighten the slide lock knob to guard against sudden movement.

WARNING! Do not use the blade guard as a ‘lifting point’.

The power cord must be removed from the power supply before attempting to move the machine.

8. Compound Cut

A compound cut is a combination of a mitre and bevel cut. When a compound cut is required, select the desired bevel and mitre positions as previously explained.

9. Depth Stop (Fig.10)

Use of the depth stop allows the operator to cut slots in the workpiece. The downward travel of the saw head can be set so that the saw blade does not completely cut through the workpiece. Note: It is advisable that the depth of cut is checked using a scrap piece of timber to ensure that the slot cut is correct. By making a cut in the workpiece, and then repeating the cut but with the workpiece slightly repositioned to the left or right, it is possible to perform trenching cuts.

To use the depth stop:

1. Loosen the locking wing nut.

2. Adjust the thumb knob to limit the saw heads travel to the required depth.

3. Once set to the desired depth, tighten the wing nut against the retaining bracket to lock the depth stop and

ensure that there is no movement.

4. When cutting is complete re-adjust the depth stop so that the cutting head can be locked in the down position by the head latching pin.
