POWER TOOL GENERAL

SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

(These General Power Tool Safety Instructions

are as specied in BS EN 60745-1:2009 &

EN 61029-1:2009)

WARNING: Read all safety warnings and

instructions. Failure to follow the warnings

and instructions may result in electric

shock, re and / or serious injury.

Note: This power tool should not be powered on

continuously for a long time.

Save all warnings and instructions for

future reference.

The term “power tool” in the warnings refers

to your mains-operated (corded) power tool or

battery-operated (cordless) power tool.

1) General Power Tool Safety Warnings

[Work area safety]

• Keep work area clean and well lit.

Cluttered or dark areas invite accidents.

• Do not operate power tools in explosive

atmospheres, such as in the presence of

ammable liquids, gasses or dust. Power

tools create sparks which may ignite the

can cause you to lose control.

• Do not use this machine in an enclosed room.

2) General Power Tool Safety Warnings

[Electrical Safety]

• 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.Unmodied

plugs and matching outlets will reduce the

risk of electric shock.

• 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.

• Do not expose power tools to rain or wet

conditions. Water entering a power tool

will increase the risk of electric shock.

• 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.

• 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.

• 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.

3) General Power Tool Safety Warnings

[Personal Safety].

• 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 inuence of

drugs, alcohol or medication. A moment

of inattention while operating power tools

may result in serious personal injury.

• Use personal protective equipment.

PERMANENTLY MOUNTING THE MITRE SAW

To reduce the risk of injury from unexpected saw movement,

place the saw in the desired location either on a workbench

or other suitable machine stand. The base of the saw has four

mounting holes through which suitable bolts (not supplied)

can be placed to secure the miter saw. If the saw is to be used

in one location, permanently fasten it to the workbench using

appropriate fastenings (not supplied). Use locking washers and

nuts on the underside of the workbench. (Fig. 1)

• To avoid injury from ying debris, position the saw so

that other people or bystanders cannot stand too close

(or behind) it.

• Locate the saw on a rm, level surface where there is plenty

of room for handling and properly supporting the workpiece.

• Support the saw so the machine table is level and the saw

does not rock.

• Bolt or clamp the saw securely to its support stand or

workbench.

FOR PORTABLE USE:

• Mount the saw on a 18mm thick piece of plywood or

MDF (800mm x 500mm (31-1/2” x 19-7/10”) min size

recommended) using appropriate fastenings (not supplied).

• It may be necessary to countersink the washers, nuts, etc. to

the underside of the plywood or MDF mounting board to

avoid an uneven work surface.

• Use G-clamps to attach the mounting board to the work

surface. (Fig. 2)

NOTE: Some machines are tted with a rear stabilizing arm

found just below the Bevel Pivot.

If so tted, this arm should be deployed/withdrawn from the

base, particularly if the machine is to be used free standing

on a work bench. (Fig. 3). This arm will provide extra stability

to prevent the machine from toppling in the event of sudden

release of the Cutting Head.

• The laser beam must not be deliberately aimed at personnel

and must be prevented from being directed towards the eyes

of a person.

• Always ensure that the laser beam is used only on workpieces

that have non-reective surfaces, i.e natural wood or matt

surfaces etc.

• Never exchange the laser module assembly for a dierent

type or class of laser.

• Repairs to the laser module must only be conducted by

Evolution Power Tools or their authorized agent.

LASER ADJUSTMENT

WARNING: At no time during this procedure should the motor

be started.

To check laser alignment:

• Place a piece of cardboard, or similar, onto the rotary table of

the machine.

• With the carriage slide in the rearmost position, lower the Cutting

Head so that a blade tooth makes a mark in the cardboard.

• Allow the Cutting Head to rise, and then repeat the above

with the carriage slide in an approximate mid- way position.

• Again repeat, but with the carriage slide moved to its most

forward position.

• With the Cutting Head raised, turn on the laser and slide

the Cutting Head backwards and forwards to observe if the

projected laser beam is in line with the marks previously made:

• Beam is aligned with the marks =

No further action required.

• Beam is not parallel with the marks =

Follow section A

• Beam is parallel but not aligned with the marks =

Proceed to B

A. If the laser beam is not parallel to the marks proceed as follows:

• Untighten the clamping screw (Fig. 6, a)

• Carefully rotate the laser module, (Fig. 6, b) until the line is

parallel with the marks in the cardboard.

• Re-tighten the clamping screw.

• Recheck the alignment.

B. If the laser beam is parallel with the marks, but not going

through them:

• Slacken the two screws. (Fig. 7, c)

• The laser mounting block can now be moved sideways to

align the laser beam with the marks made in the cardboard.

• When the laser beam is in the correct place,

re-tighten the two screws.

• Repeat procedure ‘A’ to check alignment.

NOTE: The above adjustments & alignments should be checked

on a regular basis to ensure laser accuracy.

NOTE: The following WARNING labels may be found on this

machine:

LASER RADIATION DO NOT STARE INTO THE

BEAM

CLASS 2 LASER PRODUCT

CLASS 2 LASER PRODUCT LASER RADIATION AVOID

DIRECT EYE CONTACT LASER SAFETY

The Laser guide line used in this product uses a class II Laser

with a maximum power output of 1.5mW at a wave length of

between 635 and 670nm. These lasers do not normally present

an optical hazard, although staring at the beam may cause

temporary ash blindness.

WARNING: Do not stare directly at the Laser beam. The laser

must be used and maintained as detailed in this manual. Never

intentionally aim the laser beam at any person and prevent it

from being directed towards the eye, or an object other than

the workpiece. Always ensure that the laser beam is directed at

the workpiece only when it is located on the mitre saw table.

Never direct the laser beam onto any bright, shiny reective

surface, as the laser beam could be reected back towards the

operator. Do not change the laser unit for any other type.

Do not tamper with the laser unit. Only touch the unit when

making adjustments. Repairs to the laser shall only be carried

out by an authorised service centre.

THE LASER GUIDE LINE

The projected laser guide line shows the path of the blade

during a cut.

To use the laser guide for a known angle (e.g. 45

• Mark the cut required on the workpiece using a pencil etc.

• Set the saw to the cutting angle required (45

) and lock into

position using the mitre locking handle and/or the positive

stop locking lever.

• Switch on the laser beam.

• Position the workpiece on the rotary table and against the fence.

• Slide the workpiece into position until the pencil line on the

workpiece and the projected laser line exactly match.

• Clamp the workpiece into position using the hold down clamp.

• Proceed to make the cut.

www.evolutionpowertools.com

To use the laser guide for an unknown angle:

• Mark the position of the cut to be made on the workpiece

using a pencil etc.

• Place the workpiece on the rotary table and against the fence.

• Adjust the mitre saw to give the approximate angle of cut.

Do not tighten the mitre lock handle at this stage.

• Slowly slide the workpiece backwards and forwards along

the fence, whilst at the same time slowly adjusting the angle

of the rotary table.

• Stop when the projected laser line and pencil line on the

workpiece match exactly.

• Tighten the mitre lock handle to lock the rotary table in place.

• Secure the workpiece with a hold down clamp.

• Recheck the alignment.

• When satised that alignment is accurate proceed to make

the cut.

The Laser Lens cap (if tted)

If tted the laser lens cap is a simple push t onto the front of

the laser unit.

If it becomes damaged or opaque for any reason it can be replaced.

Carefully pull the lens from the laser unit and replace with a new lens.

DEPTH STOP (Fig. 8)

Use of the depth stop allows the operator to cut slots in the

workpiece.

The downward travel of the Cutting Head can be set so that

the saw blade does not completely cut through the workpiece.

NOTE: When using the Depth Stop 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:

• Loosen the locking wing nut. (a)

• Adjust the thumb knob (b) to limit the saw heads travel to

the required depth.

• Once set to the desired depth, tighten the wing nut (a)

against the retaining bracket to lock the depth stop and

ensure that there is no movement.
