INSTALLING OR REMOVING A CUTTER
WARNING: Only use genuine Evolution cutters
which are designed for this machine. Select the
correct cutter for the material to be cut.
Note: It is recommended that the operator
considers wearing protective gloves when handling
the cutter during installation or when changing the
machines cutter.
TO INSERT A CUTTER
1. Insert the relevant pilot pin into the cutter. The
‘point’ of the pilot pin should face towards the
cutting edge of the cutter.
2. Slide the cutter into the arbor and align the two
flats on the cutters shank with the two locking
screws. (Fig. 4)
3. Tighten the locking screws securely with the
supplied hex wrench.
Caution: Ensure that both locking screws are on
a machined flat on the cutters shank and not just
against the rounded shank.
To remove the cutter, reverse the procedure.

INSTALLING THE CHUCK ADAPTOR
The optional chuck adaptor (part HTA 47) can be
fitted into the EVO42 machines arbor, and then the
machine can be fitted with a standard 3 jawed self
centering chuck. This enables the EVO42 to take
standard parallel twist drills up to ø13mm.
Fit the adapter in the same way as fitting a cutter
into the arbor, but omit the pilot pin.
Note: To use the machine with standard twist
drills will mean that the secondary slide facility of
the machine must be utilised. This will allow the
machine to be adjusted to take account of the
longer reach of the standard chuck and twist drills.
The locking lever for the secondary slide has a left
hand thread and is found on the lower Left Hand
side of the gearbox housing. (Fig. 5)
