(1.6) Note: The vibration measurement was made under standard conditions in accordance with: BS EN 61029-1:2009+A11.

www.evolutionpowertools.com

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).

• Gently lower the Cutting Head to its lowest position, cutting through the workpiece.

• After the cut is completed, turn off the motor by releasing

the trigger switch. Allow the blade to come to a complete stop. Allow the Cutting Head to rise to its upper position.

• Only remove your hands or the workpiece from the machine

when the Cutting Head is in its upper position with the blade teeth completely covered by the Retractable Blade Guard.

6. Mitre Cutting

Any angle from 45˚ left to 45˚ right is available, and a protractor scale can be found to the front of the Rotary Table.

Positive stops are provided for every 5˚ of angular movement.

Note: The rotary table must always be locked into position with the Mitre Angle Locking Screw even if a positive stop is selected.

To select a Mitre Angle:

• Loosen the Mitre Angle Locking Screw. (Fig.12) This is found at the front RH side of the table near the 30˚ index mark.

• Turn the Rotary Table to the required angle. To aid setting,

an index mark is machined into the table just in front of the table insert.

• Tighten the Mitre Angle Locking Screw securely when the

desired angle has been selected.

A Mitre Cut can now be made using the same techniques as previously described in Chop Cutting.

7. Bevel Cutting

The Cutting Head can be set at any angle up to 45˚ to the Left Hand side only.

The Bevel Locking Lever is found at the rear of the machine. A protractor guide and pointer are incorporated into the bevel mechanism to aid setting. (Fig.13)

To set a Bevel Angle:

• Loosen the Bevel Lock Handle

• Tilt the Cutting Head to the desired angle. Use the protractor

guide to aid with setting.

• Ensure that the Bevel Lock Handle is securely tightened

when the desired angle has been achieved.

A Bevel Cut can now be made using the same techniques as previously outlined.

Note: Always make a ‘dry run’ with the machine switched ‘off’ so that the path of the blade can be checked. Some Bevel and Compound Cuts may require the Hold Down Clamp to be positioned to the RH side of the Cutting Head. This may be necessary to avoid interference with the blade and other parts of the machine as the Cutting Head is lowered.

8. Fence Adjustment

Note: The left hand side of the fence is provided with additional

adjustments. The upper portion of the fence can slide to the left to provide clearance for the blade. This may be necessary when acute bevel angles are selected.

Fig. 13

Fig. 14

To adjust the fence:

• Loosen the thumbscrew. (Fig 14)

• Slide the upper portion of the fence to the required position

and tighten the thumbscrew.

• Lower the Cutting Head to check the path of the blade. Ensure

there is no interference with any other parts of the machine.

9. Compound Cutting

A Compound Cut is a combination of a Mitre Cut and Bevel Cut.

• Set the Mitre Angle required as previously described.

• Set the Bevel Angle as previously described.

• Ensure the tightness of all adjustment/locking screws, and

conduct a ‘dry run’ to check the path of the blade.

• Make the cut as previously described.

FENCE ASSEMBLY (Fig. 19)

The Fence Assembly consists of two (2) main parts:

• The Angle Gauge.

• The Rip Fence Face Plate.

Note: The ‘T’ slot in the Rip Fence Face Plate is not centrally located.

• Slide the Rip Fence Face Plate onto the two (2) mounting

screws found on the Angle Plate.

• Ensure that the wider (20mm) portion of the Fence Face is

downwards and will lie on the saw table when in use.

The Angle Plate can now be slid into the Rip Fence channel found at the front of the machine table. (Fig. 20)

Slide in from the Right Hand side ensuring that the Locking Clamp engages correctly with the front face of the Rip Fence channel.

FENCE ASSEMBLY AS A RIP FENCE

To use the Fence Assembly as a Rip Fence the Face Plate must be accurately aligned with the blade.

WARNING: Only carry out this procedure with the machine disconnected from the power supply.

To Align the Rip Fence:

• Ensure that the table is at its lowest setting (see Fig. 23a &23b)

• Set the Angle Gauge to an indicated 90˚.

• Slide the Fence Assembly up to the blade, raising the Blade

Guard by hand so that the Face Plate rests alongside the blade and underneath the Blade Guard. (Fig.21)

• Gently tighten the Angle Gauge Locking Clamp Screw to lock

the Assembly into the Rip Fence channel.

• Check that the Face Plate is in exact alignment with the blade.

• If adjustment is required, loosen slightly the Angle

Clamping Screw and adjust the Angle Gauge until exact alignment is achieved.

• Tighten the Angle Clamping Screw.

• Adjust the Angle Gauge Pointer if necessary to point exactly

to the 90˚ index mark.

• Use a #2 Phillips Head screwdriver to loosen the Angle

Pointer fixing screw. (Fig. 22) Adjust the pointer to suit and then retighten the fixing screw.

Basic Table Saw Operations

WARNING: Do not cut metal or metallic materials when the

machine is configured as a Table Saw.

WARNING: Never attempt freehand cuts on this machine. Always use a correctly adjusted Rip Fence to minimise the possibility of the blade binding and kickback.

Fig. 23a

Fig. 23b

Fig. 24

1. Adjusting the Table Height (Fig. 23a &23b)

The height of the Table above the machines motor can be adjusted. This enables your Fury6 to mimic the rise and fall facility found on many conventional table saws. The cutting depth of the blade can thereby be adjusted from 0mm to 32mm.

WARNING: Only adjust the height of the table with the machine disconnected from the mains power supply.

To adjust:

• Loosen the Height Adjustment Screw and adjust the table

height so that the saw blade protrudes through the table by the required amount. Retighten the screw.

• We recommend that the saw blade protrudes through the

material to be cut by approximately 3mm.

WARNING: This machine is not suitable for cutting rebates or stopped grooves.

Note: A workshop dust extraction device can be connected to the extraction port found at the rear of the machine if required.

2. Table Saw On/Off Switches (Fig. 24)

The On/Off Switch is a two (2) button latching type. The buttons are located on the Front Left Hand side of the Cutting Handle.

• Push the Green (I) button to start the motor.

• Push the Red (O) button to stop the motor.

3. Rip cutting

Note: The Fury6 in Table Saw mode is optimally suited for the

cutting of thin sheet material such as laminate flooring etc.

Rip cutting is cutting along the length of a piece of material rather than across it.

www.evolutionpowertools.com

Rip cutting should always be done with the Rip Fence set to the desired width and on the RH side of the machines table.

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.

Note: A Push Stick (Fig. 25) is provided with the Fury6 and has a dedicated storage position to the front of the machine.

We recommend that when not in use the Push Stick is stored on the machine.

When ripping long boards or large panels always use a remote work support or enlist competent trained help.

Feed the workpiece through the saw keeping it indexed against the Rip Fence. Use smooth, steady pressure and employ a Push Stick when necessary.

Hands should never be in line with the blade.

MAINTENANCE AND ADJUSTMENTS

Fig. 25

WARNING: Ensure that the machine is disconnected from the mains supply before any maintenance tasks or adjustments are attempted.

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 slightly 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 binding as it passes through the blade. Inspect the Riving Knife at regular intervals and replace it if it is worn or damaged.

The Riving Knife should be adjusted so that the gap between the tips of the blade teeth and the edge of the Riving Knife is approximately 3-5mm. (Fig.26)

To adjust the Riving Knife loosen the two (2) fixing screws (Fig. 27) slightly using an allen key. When correct alignment is achieved tighten the fixing screws.

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

Fig. 27

A plastic push stick is provided with the machine. 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.

INSTALLING or REMOVING a BLADE

WARNING: Only use genuine Evolution blades which are

designed for use in this machine. Ensure that the maximum speed of the blade is compatible with the machine. Only perform this operation with the machine disconnected from the mains supply.

Note: It is recommended that the operator considers wearing protective gloves when handling the blade during installation or when changing the machines blade.

Note: The blade is a very precise fit within the Fury6 machine. Be patient and methodical when changing the blade.

www.evolutionpowertools.com

To change a blade:

• Ensure that the machine is in Mitre Saw Mode with the

Cutting Head in its upper position.

• Release the Retractable Lower Guard Operating Lever by

removing and safely storing its pivot screw. (Fig. 28)

• Use the pin spanner (provided) to hold the outer blade flange.

• Use the hex key (provided) to unscrew the arbor screw. (Fig. 29)

Note: The arbor screw has a Left Hand thread. Turn clockwise to undo and counterclockwise to tighten.

• Remove the arbor screw, washer and outer blade flange.

• Manually operate the Lower Blade Guard and retract it fully

up into the body of the machine

• Remove the blade by withdrawing it outwards to clear the

end of the arbor and then downwards and forwards away from the machine.

Note: The 5mm blade slot at the lower front of the Cutting Head (Fig. 30) provides extra clearance when manoeuvring the blade into or out of the machine.

To refit:

• Ensure that the blade is suitable for this machine.

• Ensure that the direction of rotation arrow on the blade

matches the direction of rotation arrow found on the machines Side Blade Guard. The blade teeth should always point downward at the front of the saw.

• Using the blade slot to provide maximum clearance and access

to the machine, carefully and gently manoeuvre the blade up into the machine and locate it on the inner blade flange.

• Reinstall the outer blade flange, washer and arbor screw.

• Hand tighten the assembly.

• Hold the outer blade flange with the pin spanner.

• Tighten the arbor screw with the hex key.

• Check that the blade spins freely by rotating it by hand.

• Close the Retractable Blade Guard around the blade so the

blade teeth are completely covered.

• Re-connect the Retractable Blade Guard Operating Lever to

its service position using the pivot screw.

• Check the installation, particularly for the operation of all the

safety guards.

CHECKING AND SETTING OF BEVEL ANGLES

WARNING: Before making any adjustments ensure that the

machine is disconnected from the power supply.

Note: While all angular settings have been factory set, checking and adjustment may be required as a consequence of normal operational wear and tear.

Fig. 31

Note: To check and adjust the Bevel Angles the machine must be

in Mitre Saw configuration.

0˚ BEVEL ANGLE

At 0˚ Bevel Angle the blade should be perpendicular and at exactly 90˚ to the Rotary Table. An accurate engineers square (not supplied) is needed to check the 0˚ Bevel Angle.

To check:

• Ensure that the Cutting Head is in the vertical position, against its

stop with the Bevel Pointer indicating 0˚ Bevel Angle.

• Tighten the Bevel Lock Handle.

• Lower the Cutting Head to its lowest position. The Retractable

Lower Blade Guard will rotate up into the machine.

• The engineers square can now be used to check the angle

between the blade and the Rotary Table.

If adjustment is required:

Note: The Cutting Head will need to be tilted to gain access to

the 0˚ Bevel Stop Adjustment Screw.

• Loosen slightly the 0˚ Bevel Stop Adjustment Screw locknut.

(Fig. 31)

• Use an Allen Key to turn the Bevel Stop Screw clockwise or

counterclockwise as required.

• When exact alignment between the blade and Rotary Table is achieved, tighten the locknut.

45˚ BEVEL ANGLE

The 45˚ Bevel Angle can be checked in a similar manner to the 0˚ Bevel Angle. An accurate 45˚ Engineers Set Square (not supplied) will be required.
