VIBRATION

(1.5) Note: The vibration measurement

was made under standard conditions in accordance with: EN 62841-1: 2015, EN 62841-2-5: 2014

Warning: Wear hearing protection!

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.

(1.6) 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: EN 62841-1 and EN 62841-2-5

• 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).

(2.1) GENERAL SAFETY

INSTRUCTIONS

(These General Power Tool Safety Instructions are as specified in EN 62841-1: 2015).

WARNING: Read all safety warnings and instructions. Failure to follow the warnings and instructions may result in electric shock, fire and/ or serious injury. Save all warnings and instructions for future reference. The term “power tool” in

www.evolutionpowertools.com

the warnings refers to your mains-operated (corded) power tool or battery-operated (cordless) power tool.

(2.2) 1) General Power Tool

Safety Warnings [Work area safety]

a) Keep work area clean and well lit.

Cluttered or dark areas invite accidents.

b) Do not operate power tools in explosive atmospheres, such as in the presence of flammable liquids, gasses or dust. Power

tools create sparks which may ignite the dust or fumes.

c) Keep children and bystanders away while operating power tool. Distractions can cause

you to lose control.

(2.3) 2) General Power Tool Safety Warnings

[Electrical Safety]

a) Power tool plugs must match the outlet. Never modify the plug in any way. Do not use any adapter plugs with earthed (grounded) power tools. Unmodified plugs

and matching outlets will reduce risk of electric shock.

b) Avoid body contact with earthed or grounded surfaces, such as pipes, radiators, ranges and refrigerators. There is an

increased risk of electric shock if your body is earthed or grounded.

c) Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions. Water entering a power tool will

increase the risk of electric shock.

d) Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord for carrying, pulling or unplugging the power tool. Keep cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges or moving parts. Damaged or entangled

cords increase the risk of electric shock.

e) When operating a power tool outdoors, use an extension cord suitable for outdoor use. Use of a cord suitable for outdoor use

reduces the risk of electric shock.

f) If operating a power tool in a damp location is unavoidable, use a residual current device (RCD) protected supply.

Use of an RCD reduces the risk of electric shock. Note: The product is intended for use only in premises having a service current capacity≥100A per phase, supplied from a distribution network having a nominal voltage

of 230V. If required, contact the electricity company to ensure that the mains current carrying capacity at the connection point to the public power grid is adequate for connecting the product.

(2.4) 3) General Power Tool Safety Warnings

[Personal Safety].

a) Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use common sense when operating a power tool. Do not use a power tool while you are

tired or under the influence of drugs, alcohol or medication. A moment of inattention while operating power tools may result in serious personal injury. b) Use personal protective equipment. Always wear eye protection. Protective equipment such as dust masks, non-skid safety shoes, hard hat or hearing protection used for appropriate conditions will reduce personal injuries. c) Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure the switch is in the off-position before connecting to power source and or battery pack, picking up or carrying the tool. Carrying power tools with your finger on the switch or energising the power tools that have the switch on invites accidents.

d) Remove any adjusting key or wrench from blade bolt before turning the power tool on. A wrench or key left attached to a

rotating part of a 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 par ts.

g) If devices are provided for the connection of dust extraction and collection facilities, ensure that these are connected and properly used. Use of dust collection can

reduce dust-related hazards.

h) Do not let familiarity gained from frequent use of tools allow you to become complacent and ignore tool safety principles. A careless action can cause severe

injury within a fraction of a second.

www.evolutionpowertools.com

(2.5) 4) General Power Tool Safety Warnings

[Power tool use and 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 at a rate for which it was designed.

b) Do not use the power tool if the switch does not turn it on or off. Any power tool

that cannot be controlled with the switch is dangerous and must be repaired.

c) Disconnect the power tool from the power source from the power tool before making any adjustments, changing accessories, or storing power tools. Such

preventative 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 moving parts and any other condition that may affect the power tools 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.

h) Keep handles and grasping surfaces dry, clean and free from oil and grease. Slippery

handles and grasping surfaces do not allow for safe handling and control of the tool in unexpected situations.

(2.6) 5) General Power Tool

Safety Warnings [Service]

a) Have your power tool serviced by a

qualified repair person using only identical replacement parts. This will ensure that the

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.

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.

(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.

SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS FOR ALL SAWS [Cutting procedures] a) DANGER: Keep hands away from cutting area and the blade. Keep your second hand on auxiliary handle, or motor housing. If both hands are holding the saw,

they cannot be cut by the blade.

www.evolutionpowertools.com

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 the workpiece in your hands or across your leg while cutting. Secure the workpiece to a stable platform. It is

important to support the work properly to minimise body exposure, blade binding, or loss of control.

e) Hold the 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 could give the operator an electric shock.

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 arbour holes. Blades that do not match the mounting

hardware of the saw will run off-centre, 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.

(3.2) [Kickback causes and

related warnings]

Kickback is a sudden reaction to a pinched, jammed or misaligned saw blade, causing an uncontrolled saw to lift up and out of the workpiece toward the operator;

When the blade is pinched or jammed tightly by the kerf closing down, the blade stalls and the motor reaction drives the unit rapidly back toward the operator;

(3.3)

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) When blade is binding, or when interrupting a cut for any reason, release the trigger and hold the saw motionless in the material until the blade comes to a complete stop. Never attempt to remove the saw from the work or pull the saw backward while the blade is in motion or kickback may occur. Investigate and take corrective actions

to eliminate the cause of blade binding.

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

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

d) Do not use dull or damaged blades.

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

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

it may cause binding and kickback.

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

while cutting, it may cause binding and kickback.

g) Use extra caution when sawing into existing walls or other blind areas. The

protruding blade may cut objects that can cause kickback.

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 wood causing the blade to climb out of the kerf and jump back toward the operator.

LOWER GUARD FUNCTION

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