www.evolutionpowertools.com (1.8) SAFETY LABELS & SYMBOLS FOR ALL DOUBLE-INSULATED TOOLS 1. Replacement Parts When servicing use only identical replacement parts. 2. Polarized Plugs To reduce the risk of electric shock, this equipment has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other). This plug will fit in a polarized outlet only one way. If the plug does not fit fully in the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician to install the proper outlet.
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 supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by a special cord or assembly available from the manufacturers or its service agent. For added protection use a residual current device (R.C.D.) that will interrupt the supply if the leakage current to earth exceeds 30mA for 30ms.
www.evolutionpowertools.com as dust masks, non-skid safety shoes, hard hat or hearing protection used for appropriate conditions will reduce personal injuries. c) Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure the switch is in the off-position before connecting to power source and or battery pack, picking up or carrying the tool. Carrying power tools with your finger on the switch or energising the power tools that have the switch on invites accidents.
www.evolutionpowertools.com 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.
www.evolutionpowertools.com BLADE SAFETY WARNING: Rotating saw blades are extremely dangerous and can cause serious injury and amputation. Always keep fingers and hands at least 150mm (6”) away from the blade at all times. Never attempt to retrieve sawn material until the cutting head is in the raised position, the guard is fully closed and the saw blade has stopped rotating.
www.evolutionpowertools.com 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.
www.evolutionpowertools.com ADDITIONAL WARNINGS (These warnings are specified in UL Std. 987 and CAN/CSA Std.C22.2 No. 71.2) 1. Keep guards in place and in working order. 2. Remove adjusting keys and wrenches. Form habit of checking to see that keys and adjusting wrenches are removed from tool before turning it on. 3. Keep work area clean. Cluttered areas and benches invite accidents. 4. Don’t use in dangerous environment. Don’t use power tools in damp or wet locations, or expose them to rain.
