(1.6) Note: The vibration measurement
was made under standard conditions in
accordance with: BS EN 61029-1:2009.
The declared vibration total value has been
measured in accordance with a standard test
method and may be used for comparing one
tool with another.
The declared vibration total value may also be
used in a preliminary assessment of exposure.
(1.7) VIBRATION
WARNING: When using this machine the
operator can be exposed to high levels of
vibration transmitted to the hand and arm.
It is possible that the operator could develop
“Vibration white finger disease” (Raynaud
syndrome). This condition can reduce the
sensitivity of the hand to temperature as
well as producing general numbness.
Prolonged or regular users of this machine
should monitor the condition of their hands
and fingers closely. If any of the symptoms
become evident, seek immediate
medical advice.
• The measurement and assessment of
human exposure to hand-transmitted
vibration in the workplace is given in:
BS EN ISO 5349-1:2001 and
BS EN ISO 5349-2:2002.
• Many factors can influence the actual
vibration level during operation e.g. the
work surfaces condition and orientation
and the type and condition of the machine
being used. Before each use, such factors
should be assessed, and where possible
appropriate working practices adopted.
Managing these factors can help reduce the
effects of vibration:
Handling
• Handle the machine with care, allowing
the machine to do the work.
• Avoid using excessive physical effort on
any of the machines controls.
• Consider your security and stability,
and the orientation of the machine
during use.
Work Surface
• Consider the work surface material;
its condition, density, strength,
rigidity and orientation.
WARNING: The vibration emission during
actual use of the power tool can differ from
the declared total value depending on the
ways in which the tool is used.
The need to identify safety measures
and to protect the operator are based on
an estimation of exposure in the actual
conditions of use (taking account of all parts
of the operating cycle, such as the times the
tool is switched off, when it is running idle,
in addition to trigger time).

safety of the power tool is maintained.
(2.7) HEALTH ADVICE
WARNING: When using this machine,
dust particles may be produced. In some
instances, depending on the materials you
are working with, this dust can be particularly
harmful. If you suspect that paint on the
surface of material you wish to cut contains
lead, seek professional advice. Lead based
paints should only be removed by
a professional and you should not
attempt to remove it yourself.
Once the dust has been deposited on
surfaces, hand to mouth contact can result
in the ingestion of lead. Exposure to even
low levels of lead can cause irreversible brain
and nervous system damage. The young and
unborn children are particularly vulnerable.
You are advised to consider the risks
associated with the materials you are working
with and to reduce the risk of exposure.
As some materials can produce dust that may
be hazardous to your health, we recommend
the use of an approved face mask with
replaceable filters when using this machine.
(2.8) WARNING: the operation of any power
tool can result in foreign objects being thrown
towards your eyes, which could result in
severe eye damage. Before beginning power
tool operation, always wear safety goggles
or safety glasses with side shield or a full face
shield where necessary.
ADDITIONAL SPECIFIC SAFETY
RULES FOR TABLE SAWS
a) Do not use saw blades which
are damaged or deformed.
b) Replace the table
insert/access plate if worn.
c) Use only blades as recommended in this
manual, which conform to EN 847-1. When
changing the saw blade beware that the width
of the groove cut of the saw blades shall not
be less than and the thickness of the body
of the saw blade shall not be more than the
thickness of the riving knife.
d) Take care that the selection of the saw
blade is suitable for the material to be cut.
e) Wear suitable personal
protective equipment when necessary.
This could include:
• Hearing protection to reduce the risk of
induced hearing loss.
• Respiratory protection to reduce the risk of
inhalation of harmful dust.
• Wear gloves when handling saw blades and
rough material. Saw blades shall be carried
in a holder whenever practicable.
DE
FR
JP
You should always:
• Work in a well-ventilated area.
• Work with approved safety equipment, such
as dust masks that are specially designed to
filter microscopic particles.
f) Never perform any operation freehand.
This means using only your hands to support
or guide the workpiece. Always use either the
fence or mitre gauge to position and guide
the work.
11
NL
TR
www.evolutionpowertools.com
WARNING: Freehand cutting
is a major cause of accidents.
g) Never attempt to free a stalled blade
without first turning the saw off. Turn the power
off immediately to prevent damage to the motor.
h) Provide adequate support for long or
wide workpieces.
i) Avoid awkward operations and hand
positions where a slip could cause your
hand to move into the blade.
WARNING: Before using your table saw
it is important that you read and understand
these safety rules. Failure to follow these rules
could result in serious injury to the operator
or damage to the table saw.
a) Always use the blade guard. The blade
guard must always be used in every operation.
b) Hold the work firmly. Against the mitre
gauge or rip fence.
c) Always use push-sticks or push blocks
to feed the workpiece past the saw blade.
d) Keep guards in place and in working
order. Always ensure that the riving knife is
fitted and correctly adjusted. Inspect the riving
knife regularly and replace it if it is worn. Use
only a genuine Evolution riving knife as this is
a dedicated component for this machine.
e) Remove adjusting keys and wrenches.
Form the habit of checking to see that keys
and adjusting wrenches are removed from
the machine before turning it on.
f) Do not use in dangerous environment.
Do not use power tools in damp or wet

area well lit. Keep the area well ventilated.
g) Keep children away. All children and
visitors should be kept at a safe distance from
the work area.
h) Do not use High Speed Steel
(HSS) blades. Use only saw blades for
which the maximum possible speed is
not less than the maximum spindle speed
of the tool and the material to be cut.
i) The push stick or push block should
always be stored with the machine when
not in use.
j) Connect the saw to a dust collection
device when sawing wood. The operator
should be informed of the factors that
influence exposure to dust e.g. type of
material being cut and the importance of local
extraction (capture or source) and the proper
adjustment hoods/baffles/chutes.
k) Use proper extension cord. Make sure
any extension cord is in good condition.
When using an extension cord, be sure to use
one heavy enough to carry the current your
machine will draw. An undersized cord will
cause a drop in line voltage resulting in loss
of power and possible overheating.
l) Always use safety glasses. Also use a
face or dust mask if the cutting operation is
dusty. Everyday eyeglasses only have impact
resistant lenses, they are NOT safety glasses.
m) Maintain tools with care. Keep tools sharp
and clean for best and safest performance.
Follow instructions for lubricating and
changing accessories.
n) Disconnect from the power supply before
servicing, cleaning or and when changing
accessories, such as blades.
o) Use recommended accessories. Only use

3. TABLE EXTENSIONS AND STRUTS ETC
A: 2 X SIDE TABLE EXTENSIONS
B: 4 X SIDE TABLE SUPPORT STRUTS
Note: This process can be considerably aided by studying the
images of an assembled machine as found on the original box
packaging.
Eight cross-pieces are supplied (See Fig 1). The black crosspieces are for the top of the stand, the green ones are for mid
way fixing. The cross-pieces are paired, with two long and two
short of each colour.
Identify all parts before proceeding with assembly.
1. Fit the flexible rubber feet to the four legs. The two
turned over metal tabs should be guided into the two
25mm slots in the base of the rubber foot which can
then be moulded around the base of the leg.
2. Select two legs, a long top cross-piece and a long green
cross-piece. Fit the top cross-piece to each leg using one
6mm hex bolt, ensuring that the locating lug on the cross-piece
engages into the rectangular slot in the top of the leg. Fit the
green cross-piece using four 6mm hex bolts. This cross-piece
has sloped ends to accommodate the splay of the legs. Ensure
it is fitted correctly with slope facing upwards. Do not fully
tighten any of the bolts at this stage. This assemblage will
become a side of the stand and should resemble a flat
topped letter ‘A’. See Fig 2.
Fig 3
Fig 4
3. Repeat the above to produce a second side.
4. Using the remaining two top cross-pieces and two green
cross-pieces, join the sides together to form the rectangular
base of the table stand.
Ensure that the mounting holes formed by the top cross-pieces
at each corner of the stand are in alignment. The machine
mounting bolts can be loosely fitted in place as an aid to
alignment. (Front ø6mm x 30mm, rear ø6mm x 55mm)
5. Fit the two cantilever braces to a narrow side. This will
become the rear of the stand. These will provide extra
stability and safety when the saw is in use See Fig 3.
When finally satisfied with the construction, tighten all nuts
and bolts securely, and remove the mounting bolts from the
corner holes. See Fig 4.

2. ATTACHING THE MAIN BODY TO THE STAND
WARNING: This machine is heavy, enlist competent
help when fastening this machine to its base.
The main body of the saw can now be attached to the stand
using the four bolts, washers and nuts provided. Ensure that the
saw is attached to the stand the correct way round. The bolts
fasten through the machines four corner mounting holes, and
through the four corner holes in the stand. See Fig 5.
3. TABLE EXTENSIONS
Note: The pressed steel table extensions are not handed
and can fit on either side of the machine. However the
single hole in the end of the extensions should be to
the front of the saw table.
1. Attach the four bracing struts to the table extensions using
6mm hex bolts with a washer under the head of the bolt as well
as the nut. Position the front strut in the first slot. Position the
rear strut in the single slot to the rear of the extension. Tighten
both struts in the middle of their respective slots. See Fig 6.
2. Captive nuts are incorporated into the RH and LH edges of
the table. Attach the table extensions (single hole to the front)
to the table top using the ø5mm socket headed screws and
washers.

4. ASSEMBLING THE RIP FENCE
The rip fence guide has an adjustable aluminium faceplate.
For normal use this should be attached to the steel carrier
of the rip fence with the deep (60mm) side in the vertical
position and on the LH side of the carrier. See Fig 9.
1. Place the two ø6mm x 60mm dome headed coach-bolts into
the two through holes in the carrier, dome heads to the LH side.
2. Put washers and the finger nuts (by only
a couple of threads) onto the RH side of the carrier.
3. Slide the aluminium faceplate onto the bolt heads.
4. Tighten the two finger nuts.
Note: The magnifier in the Rip Fence clamp should be visible.
5. THE FENCE RAIL
Note: The Fence Rail is supplied in two pieces which slot
together. The metal locating bar should be inserted into the
rectangular voids of the two extrusions to bridge both parts
of the fence rail. The bar should be equally located in either
side of the fence rail. See Fig 10. The six ø6mm x 15mm
domed headed coach bolts should be slid into the channel
at the back of the Fence Rail.
Fig 11
1. Offer the Fence Rail up to the front of the machine.
2. Position the six bolts to align with the six holes (one in each
extension and four in the main aluminium table). See Fig 11.
3. Attach the Fence Rail to the machine using
washers and ø6mm nuts. Hand tighten only.
ADJUSTING
WARNING: The machine must not be connected to its
mains supply when carrying out the following procedure.
The Fence Rail needs to be positioned correctly

screws through the two holes in the steel carrier. See Fig 13.
5. Loosen these screws using the correct sized
allen key, and adjust the fence as required.
6. Tighten and re-check the Rip Fence when
correct alignment has been achieved.
7. Lower the blade.
7. SLIDING MITRE GAUGE
Note: The sliding mitre gauge fits in either
of the inverted ‘T’ slots in the machine table.
The adjustable aluminium faceplate is held in the plastic
protractor base of the mitre gauge by two ø6mm domed
headed screws and thumb nuts. The anti-bounce device can be
fitted into the socket incorporated into the mitre gauge base.
See Fig 14. Turning the locking handle anti-clockwise allows
the mitre gauge angle to be adjusted. Use the protractor scale
and pointer and set the gauge to the desired angle. Tighten the

Note: It is recommended that the anti-bounce device is fitted
only when needed (e.g. when cutting thin sheet material or
thin walled metal tube etc). At other times store away off the
machine for future use.
The pillar of the anti-bounce device fits into the socket
in the mitre gauge base, and is held in place by a set screw.
See Fig 15. To attach or remove the pillar the mitre gauge
faceplate will have to be removed to gain access
to the set screw.
8. TOP BLADE GUARD
The top blade guard must be fitted to the machines riving knife.
The ‘split’ line along the top of the guard indicates the cutting
line of the saw blade below. Graphics on the guard further
reinforce the cutting line of the saw blade.
WARNING: The machine must be disconnected from
the mains supply when installing the blade guard.
1. Raise the blade to its full height to fully reveal the riving knife.
2. The guards locating pin should be positioned through the
hole in the riving knife and the washer and wing nut fitted to
one side. The blade guard must move up and down easily and
smoothly, so do not over-tighten this wing nut. See Fig 16.
3. Check the operation of the blade guard. Ensure that it is
working efficiently and covers the blade entirely at the sides as
well as the crown.
4. Lower the blade a little and recheck that the blade guard
operation.
5. When satisfied that the blade guard works throughout the
blades height adjustment range, check that when the blade is
fully lowered, the blade guard and side covers are in contact
with the table top. See Fig 17A.
Note: Guard Setting for Bevel, Mitre & Compound Cuts
When bevel, mitre or compound cutting it may be necessary
to remove the left or both blade side covers. See Fig 17B.
Fig 17B
Use a crosshead screwdriver to remove the side cover
attachment screws and their plate washers. Securely store
the side covers, screws and washers for future use.

The guard should be secured to the riving knife by tightening
the locating pin wingnut. The guard should be positioned
so that the workpiece just slides under it, with the maximum
number of teeth possible shielded by the guard. Return the
guard to the original configuration when bevel, mitre or
compound cutting is completed. Recheck the operation
of the blade guard.

Forwards and backwards adjustment of the rip fence is possible.
Loosen the two finger nuts and slide the aluminium extrusion
to the desired position. Tighten the finger nuts securely.
Note: We recommend that normally the rip fence be adjusted
so that the rear of the guide is level with the rear of the blade
where it emerges from the table. See Fig 21.
Note: If the rip fence is used on the LH side of the blade
the aluminium extrusion will have to be repositioned to
the RH side of the steel box-section carrier.
Undo the two wing nuts and remove the aluminium extrusion
with its bolts in place. Reposition the extrusion on the RH side
of the steel carrier and re-attach the wing nuts. See Fig 22.
Adjust as above.
Remember to return to the original configuration when the rip
fence is in the normal (RH) operating position.
5. Mitre Gauge
The mitre gauge can be used on either side of the table and
runs in two inverted T slots in the table top.
Turn the vertical handle counter-clockwise to unlock
the mitre gauge, and adjust to the required angle.
Turn the handle clockwise to lock the mitre gauge
at the chosen angle. See Fig 23.
Fig 23
Fig 24
Note: The extruded aluminium face plate of the mitre
gauge should be adjusted so that it is close to, but does not
foul the blade guard. Adjust by loosening the two wing nuts
and sliding the faceplate to the required position. Securely
tighten the wing nuts.
6. ANTIBOUNCE DEVICE
If required, when cutting thin sheet or thin walled box-section
material (maximum 3mm thickness applies when Steel cutting),
the anti-bounce device can be employed. See Fig 24. Adjust
using the adjustable handle and knob for best position.
Note: Adjust the anti-bounce device so that the head does
not quite touch the material to be cut. You can achieve this by
gently clamping the material to be cut with the anti-bounce
device, and then backing off the head by 1/4 to1/2 a turn.

BASIC TABLE SAW OPERATIONS
WARNING: Never attempt freehand cuts on this machine.
Always use the appropriate guide or fence to minimise the
possibility of the blade binding and kickback. We recommend
that the saw blade protrudes through the material to be cut
by approximately 3mm. Adjust the height of the blade as
previously described. This machine is not suitable for cutting
rebates or stopped grooves. A vacuum cleaner or workshop
dust extraction device can be connected to the extraction port
found at the rear of the machine if required. See Fig 25.
Note: Adjust the blade guard for mitre, bevel
or compound cutting as detailed in Assembly 8.
EN
DE
Fig 25
1. Crosscutting
Set the mitre gauge to 0
0
and tighten using the vertical handle.
Position in the desired ‘T’ slot and adjust the mitre face plate as
previously described. Index the material to be cut against the
mitre gauge faceplate. Switch on the saw and allow to reach
full operating speed before making your cut. See Fig 26.
Note: Adjust the blade guard for mitre, bevel or compound
cutting as detailed in Assembly 8.
2. Mitre crosscutting
Mitre crosscutting is cutting the material at an angle other
0
than 90
. Set the mitre gauge to the desired angle, tighten
and proceed as crosscutting above.
3. Bevel crosscutting
Bevel crosscutting is the same as crosscutting but with the
blade tilted at an angle. Tilt the blade to the desired angle as
previously described, and ensure that it is locked in place. Set
the mitre gauge to 0
0
and adjust the faceplate so that it does
not touch or foul the saw blade as it passes. Index the material
against the mitre gauge and make your cut. See Fig 27.
4. Compound mitre cutting
Compound mitre cutting is a combination of mitre cutting and
bevel crosscutting. Adjust the mitre gauge and the blade to the
desired angles. Lock both in place. Check that the mitre gauge
will pass the saw blade without fouling. Adjust the mitre gauge
faceplate if necessary. See Fig 28. Index the material against
the mitre gauge and make your cut.

5. Repetitive crosscutting
Repetitive cutting is cutting a number of pieces to the same
length without having to mark out each piece.
Note: We recommend that repetitive cross-cutting is carried
out with the mitre gauge positioned on the LH side of the
machine, with the rip fence on the RH side of the machine.
See Fig 29. The rip fence can be used as a length stop
if it is properly set and adjusted.
Fig 29
Fig 30
Fig 31
Note: Align the back of the fence with the front of the saw
blade. This will allow clearance for the material as it passes
through the saw blade.
Index the material to be cut against the mitre gauge and the rip
fence. Hold the material and mitre gauge with your left hand.
Gently push the workpiece through the saw. Use a push stick,
if necessary, in your right hand to guide the workpiece on the
RH side of the blade.
6. Rip cutting
Rip cutting is cutting along the length of a piece of material
rather than across it. See Fig 30. Rip cutting should always be
done with the rip fence set to the desired width and normally
on the RH side of the machines table. The mitre gauge is not
required for this operation, and should be stored safely off the
machine for future use.
Note: Check that the rip fence is locked in position and is
parallel to the saw blade. Check that the riving knife is properly
aligned with the saw blade.
When ripping small section material a push stick should be
used to feed/guide the final 300mm of the material past the
blade. A push stick should always be used when making cuts
of less than 300mm. See Fig 31.
When ripping long boards or large panels always use a work
support. Feed the workpiece through the saw keeping it
indexed against the rip fence. Use smooth, steady pressure
and employ a push stick if necessary.
24
www.evolutionpowertools.com
When the ripping width is greater than 300mm, and with care,
both hands can be used to guide/feed the material through the
saw. The operators left hand will be to the LH side of the saw
blade. The operators right hand will be close to the rip fence on
the RH side of the saw blade. Hands should never be in line with
the blade.
EN
7. Bevel ripping
When bevel ripping material 150mm or narrower use the rip
fence on the RH side of the blade only. See Fig 32.
MAINTENANCE
WARNING: Ensure that the machine is disconnected
from the mains supply before any maintenance tasks
or adjustments are attempted.
Changing the Blade
Note: We recommend that the operator considers
wearing protective gloves when handling or changing
the machines blade.
1. Disconnect the machine from the power supply.
2. Remove the blade guard. (see Assembly 7).
3. Remove the table access plate by removing the two
countersunk head screws from either end of the access plate.

Cleaning
After each use the machine should be cleaned. Remove
all sawdust etc from the visible parts of the machine with
a vacuum cleaner. A vacuum cleaner 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.
Fig 35
Fig 36
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 binding as it passes through the
blade. Inspect the riving knife at regular intervals and replace
it if it is worn or damaged.
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.
Push Stick
A plastic push stick is provided with the machine and has its
own dedicated storage brackets to the RH side of the machines
main body. See Fig 35. When not in use store the push stick
on the machine.
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.
Blade Storage
A blade storage facility is available at the rear of the machine.
See Fig 36. Undo the centre hand nut and place any spare
blades onto the ø25.4mm metal flange. Secure the blades
with the centre hand nut.
