SPECIFIC SAFETY RULES
GB
A) Keep guards in place and in working order.
B) Remove adjusting keys and wrenches. Form the
habit of checking to see that keys and adjusting
wrenches are removed from the machine before
turning it on.
C) Keep work area clean. Cluttered areas and
benches invite accidents.
D) Don’t use in dangerous environment. Don’t use
power tools in damp or wet locations, or expose
them to rain. Keep work area well lit.
E) Keep children away. All visitors should be kept a
safe distance from the work area.
F) Don’t force the tool. It will do the job better and
safer if used at the rate for which it was designed.
G) Use proper extension cord. Make sure your
extension cord is in good condition. When using an
extension cord, be sure to use one heavy enough
to carry the current your machine will draw. An
undersized cord will cause a drop in line voltage
resulting in loss of power and possible overheating.
H) Wear proper apparel. Do not wear loose
clothing, gloves, neckties, rings, bracelets, or
other jewellery which may get caught in moving
parts. Nonslip footwear is recommended. Wear
protective hair covering to contain long hair.
I) Always use safety glasses. Also use face or
dust mask if cutting operation is dusty. Everyday
eyeglasses only have impact resistant lenses, they
are NOT safety glasses.
J) Secure work. Use clamps to hold work when practical.
K) Don’t overreach. Keep proper footing and
balance at all times.
L) Maintain tools with care. Keep tools sharp
and clean for best and safest performance.
Follow instructions for lubricating and changing
accessories.
M) Disconnect tools before servicing and when
changing accessories, such as blades
drill bits or cutters.
N) Reduce the risk of unintentional starting. Make
sure switch is in off position before plugging in.
O) Use recommended accessories. Only use
genuine Evolution accessories.
P) Check for damaged parts. Before further use
of the tool, a guard or other part that is damaged
should be carefully checked to determine that
it will operate properly and perform its intended
function - check for alignment of moving parts,
binding of moving parts, breakage of parts,
mounting, and any other conditions that may affect
its operation. A guard or other part that is damaged
should be properly repaired or replaced.
Q) Keep hands out of the path of the saw blades,
drill bits or cutters
R) Never reach around saw blades, drill bits or cutters
S) Turn off tool and wait for saw blades, drill bits
or cutters to stop before moving the machine or
changing settings.
T) Disconnect the power before changing saw
blades, drill bits, cutters, or servicing or cleaning.
U) Never carry the tool by the power cord. Carrying
the tool by the power cord could cause damage to
the insulation or the wire connections resulting in
the possibility of electric shock or fire.

GB
1. Although compact, this machine is heavy. To
reduce the risk of back injury, get help whenever
you have to lift the machine.
2. To reduce the risk of back injury, hold the tool
close to your body when lifting. By bending your
knees you can lift with your legs, not your back. Lift
by using the integral lifting/carrying handle.
3. Never carry the machine by the power cord.
Carrying the tool by the power cord could cause
damage to the insulation or the wire connections
resulting in electric shock or fire.
4. Before moving the machine tighten the
secondary slide lock knob to guard against sudden
movement.
WARNING: Do not use the machines cutting head
as a ‘lifting point’.
