Only use accessories designed for use in this machine and/or those recommended specifically by Evolution Power Tools Ltd.
www.evolutionpowertools.com SAFETY PRECAUTIONS (1.14) ELECTRICAL SAFETY This machine is fitted with the correct moulded plug and mains lead for the designated market. If the mains lead or the plug are damaged in any way, they must be replaced with original replacement parts by a competent technician. (1.15) OUTDOOR USE WARNING: For your protection if this tool is to be used outdoors it should not be exposed to rain, or used in damp locations. Do not place the tool on damp surfaces.
www.evolutionpowertools.com 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 to prevent injury from sparks and chippings. 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.
www.evolutionpowertools.com 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.
www.evolutionpowertools.com time increases the likelihood of saw blade binding and kickback. d) When ripping, always apply the workpiece feeding force between the fence and the saw blade. Use a push stick when the distance between the fence and the saw blade is less than 150mm, and use a push block when this distance is less than 50mm. “Work helping” devices will keep your hand at a safe distance from the saw blade.
www.evolutionpowertools.com workpieces. The protruding saw blade may cut objects that can cause kickback. g) Support large panels to minimise the risk of saw blade pinching and kickback. Large panels tend to sag under their own weight. Support(s) must be placed under all portions of the panel overhanging the table top. h) Use extra caution when cutting a workpiece that is twisted, knotted, warped or does not have a straight edge to guide it with a mitre gauge or along the fence.
www.evolutionpowertools.com ATTENTION The equipment 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, and instruct the user to determine in consultation with the supply authority, if necessary, that the service current capacity at the interface point is sufficient for the equipment.

www.evolutionpowertools.com ASSEMBLY To assemble this saw you will need: Cross head screwdriver, 8mm & 10mm spanner or socket wrench, 13mm Socket wrench, 5mm allen key and a rubber mallet. Note: This process can be considerably aided by studying the images of the assembled machine and the components found on the machine overview & what’s in the box pages. Unpack all components including fixings and familiarise yourself with them before attempting to assemble the machine.

www.evolutionpowertools.com Some further minor assembly is required to commission this machine. WARNING: This machine is heavy. Enlist competent help when removing this machine from its packaging. DEPLOYING THE LEGS The legs are stored underneath the machines main body. • Release the retaining latch (Fig 13). • Deploy the legs. • Ensure that the legs are secured into their service position. • The latch must deploy and lock the legs securely in their service position. Fig. 13 Note: This machine is heavy.
www.evolutionpowertools.com THE BLADE GUARD The Blade Guard labelled 9 must be attached to the machines riving knife. Note: The machine should never be used without this guard in its service position. WARNING: The machine must be disconnected from the mains supply when installing the blade guard. To attach the Blade Guard • Raise the blade to its full height to fully reveal the machines Riving Knife.
www.evolutionpowertools.com CHECKING/ADJUSTING THE RIP FENCE When the Rip Fence has been attached to the machine, the Rip Fence should be checked to ensure that it lies parallel to the blade. Fig. 21 • Raise the blade to its full height. • Rest a straight-edge or similar against the blade. • Bring the Rip Fence up to the straight-edge and check for parallelism. • If adjustment is needed, gain access to the two hex headed screws located on the Rip Fence (Fig. 21).
www.evolutionpowertools.com OPERATIONS THE CONTROLS ON/OFF SAFETY SWITCH WARNING: Before operating the ON/OFF switch make sure that the blade guard is correctly installed and operating properly. • Push the ‘ON’ button to start the machine. (Fig. 26) • Push the ‘OFF’ button to stop the machine. • This machine is fitted with a motor overload safety feature. If the motor is overloaded, the overload switch will be triggered causing the motor to stop.
www.evolutionpowertools.com THE RIP FENCE This machine is fitted with a two piece Rip Fence. We recommend that the Rip Fence is normally used in conjunction with its adjustable Face Plate. The Rip Fence should normally be positioned to the RH side of the blade. It is locked in position by using the locking lever. Push down to lock, and pull up to unlock. Fig. 29 Forwards and backwards adjustment of the Rip Fence Face Plate is possible.
www.evolutionpowertools.com Note: The face plate of the mitre gauge should be adjusted so that it passes close to, but does not touch the blade guard as it slides past during a cut. Adjust by loosening the finger nuts and sliding the faceplate to the required position. Securely tighten the finger nuts (Fig. 33). Note: The Mitre Gauge can be set at any angle between 60˚ Left and 60˚ Right. MULTIFUNCTION TABLE TOP Fig. 33 This Table Saw is equipped with a versatile and adaptable table top.
www.evolutionpowertools.com SLIDING CARRIAGE This machine is fitted with a Sliding Carriage (Fig. 36) to the LH side of the blade. This facility can be particularly useful when cross-cutting small section material such as metal boxsection or extrusions etc. Such material can be clamped to the Sliding Carriage by using the secured Mitre Gauge and its Hold Down Clamp. Operator control and safety are thereby enhanced.
www.evolutionpowertools.com CROSSCUTTING Set the Mitre Gauge to 0˚ and tighten the vertical locking screw. If employing the Sliding Carriage position the Mitre Gauge in the LH ‘T’ slot and lock it in place by screwing the locking screw into the locating hole. Note: The Mitre Gauge can be used on the RH side of the blade if required. If so it will run ‘freely’ in the inverted ‘T’ slot found on the RH side of the table. Fig.
www.evolutionpowertools.com REPETITIVE CROSS CUTTING Repetitive Cross Cutting is the process of cutting a number of pieces to the same length without having to mark out each piece separately. 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 (Fig. 44). Fig. 44 WARNING: The Rip Fence can be used as a length stop only as long as it is properly set and adjusted.
www.evolutionpowertools.com When ripping long boards or large panels always use a remote work support or enlist trained competent help. Feed the work-piece through the saw keeping it indexed against the Rip Fence. Use smooth, steady pressure and employ a push stick if necessary (Fig. 46). When the ripping width is greater than 300mm, 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.
www.evolutionpowertools.com Fig. 50 • Fit the new blade. Ensure that the teeth are facing to the front of the saw, and that the arrow on the blade is in line with the motor direction (Fig. 50). • Replace the outer flange and nut and tighten securely with the spanners provided. Check that both blade flanges are in contact with the blade. • Replace the access plate and its fixing screw. Ensure that the fixing screw is correctly seated.
