www.evolutionpowertools.com

a) Mitre saws are intended to cut wood or wood-like products, they cannot be used with abrasive cut-off wheels for cutting ferrous material such as bars, rods, studs, etc. Abrasive dust causes moving parts such as the lower guard to jam. Sparks from abrasive cutting will burn the lower guard, the kerf insert and other plastic parts.

b) Use clamps to support the workpiece whenever possible. If supporting the workpiece by hand, you must always keep your hand at least 150mm from either side of the saw blade. Do not use this saw to cut pieces that are too small to be securely clamped or held by hand. If your hand is placed too close to the saw blade, there is an increased risk of injury from blade contact. c) The workpiece must be stationary and clamped or held against both the fence

and the table. Do not feed the workpiece into the blade or cut“freehand”in any way.

Unrestrained or moving workpieces could be thrown at high speeds, causing injury.

d) Push the saw through the workpiece. Do not pull the saw through the workpiece. To make a cut, raise the saw head and pull it out over the workpiece without cutting,

start the motor, press the saw head down and push the saw through the workpiece. Cutting on the pull stroke is likely to cause the saw blade to climb on top of the workpiece and violently throw the blade assembly towards the operator.

NOTE: The above warning is omitted for a simple pivoting arm mitre saw.

e) Never cross your hand over the intended line of cutting either in front or behind the saw blade. Supporting the workpiece“cross handed”i.e. holding the workpiece to the right of the saw blade with your left hand or vice versa is very dangerous.

f) Do not reach behind the fence with either hand closer than 150mm from either side of the saw blade, to remove wood scraps, or for any other reason while the blade is spinning.

The proximity of the spinning saw blade to your hand may not be obvious and you may be seriously injured.

g) Inspect your workpiece before cutting. If the workpiece is bowed or warped, clamp it

with the outside bowed face toward the fence. Always make certain that there is no gap between the workpiece, fence and table along the line of the cut. Bent or warped workpieces can twist or shift and may cause binding on the spinning saw blade while cutting. There should be no nails or foreign objects in the workpiece. h) Do not use the saw until the table is clear of all tools, wood scraps, etc., except for

the workpiece. Small debris or loose pieces of wood or other objects that contact the revolving blade can be thrown with

high speed.

i)Cut only one workpiece at a time. Stacked multiple workpieces cannot be adequately clamped or braced and may bind on the blade or shift during cutting.

j)Ensure the mitre saw is mounted or placed on a level, firm work surface before use. A

level and firm work surface reduces the risk of the mitre saw becoming unstable.

k) Plan your work. Every time you change the bevel or mitre angle setting, make sure the adjustable fence is set correctly to

support the workpiece and will not interfere with the blade or the guarding system.

Without turning the tool “ON” and with no workpiece on the table, move the saw blade through a complete simulated cut to assure there will be no interference or danger of cutting the fence.

NOTE: The phrase “bevel or” does not apply for saws without bevel adjustment.

l) Provide adequate support such as table extensions, saw horses, etc. for a workpiece that is wider or longer than the table top. Workpieces longer or wider than the mitre saw table can tip

if not securely supported. If the cut-off piece or workpiece tips, it can lift the lower guard or be thrown by the spinning blade.

m) Do not use another person as a substitute for a table extension or as additional support. Unstable support for the workpiece can cause the blade to bind or the workpiece to shift during the cutting operation pulling you and the helper into the spinning blade.

n) The cut-off piece must not be jammed or pressed by any means against the spinning saw blade. If confined, i.e. using length stops, the

(3.7) SAFE OPERATION

Always ensure that you have selected the correct saw blade for the material being cut. Do not use this mitre saw to cut materials other than those specified in this Instruction Manual.

When transporting a mitre saw ensure that the cutting head is locked in the 90° down position (if a sliding mitre saw ensure that the slide bars are locked). Lift the machine by gripping the outer edges of the base with both hands (if a sliding mitre saw, transport using the handles provided). Under no circumstances shall the machine be lifted or transported using the retractable guard or any part of its operating mechanism. Bystanders and other colleagues must be kept at a safe distance from this saw. Cut debris can, in some circumstances, be ejected forcibly from the machine, posing a safety hazard to people standing nearby.

Before each use check the operation of the retractable guard and its operating mechanism ensuring that there is no damage, and that all moving parts operate smoothly and correctly. Keep the work bench and floor area clear of all debris including sawdust, chips and off-cuts. Always check and ensure that the speed marked on the saw blade is at least equal to the no load speed marked on the mitre saw. Under no circumstances shall a saw blade be used that is marked with a speed that is less than the no-load speed marked on the mitre saw.

Where it is necessary to use spacer or reducing rings these must be suitable for the intended purpose and only as recommended by the manufacturer.

If the mitre saw is fitted with a laser it shall not be replaced with a different type. If the laser fails to operate it shall be repaired or replaced by the manufacturer or authorised agent. The saw blade shall only be replaced as detailed in this instruction manual.

Never attempt to retrieve off-cuts or any other part of the work-piece until the cutting head is in the raised position, the guard is fully closed and the saw blade has stopped rotating.

(3.8) PERFORM CUTS CORRECTLY & SAFELY

Wherever practicable always secure the work-piece to the saw table using the work clamp where provided.

Always ensure that before each cut the mitre saw is mounted in a stable position.

If needed the mitre saw can be mounted on a wooden base or work bench or attached to

a mitre saw stand as detailed in this instruction manual. Long work-pieces should be supported on the work supports provided or on appropriate additional work supports.

(2.8) WARNING: The operation of any mitre saw 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 when needed.

WARNING: If any parts are missing, do not operate your mitre saw until the missing parts are replaced. Failure to follow this rule could result in serious personal injury.
