VIBRATION SAFETY LABELS & SYMBOLS WARNING: When using this machine the operator can be exposed to high levels of vibration transmitted to the hand and arm. It is possible that the operator could develop “Vibration white finger disease” (Raynaud syndrome). This condition can reduce the sensitivity of the hand to temperature as well as producing general numbness. Prolonged or regular users of mitre saws should monitor the condition of their hands and fingers closely.
When fitted with a correct blade this machine can be used to cut: Wood, Wood derived products (MDF, Chipboard, Plywood, Blockboard, Hardboard etc), Aluminium, Mild Steel THIS PRODUCT IS DOUBLE INSULATED AND THEREFORE DOES NOT REQUIRE A CONNECTION TO EARTH. • • THE 3 PIN PLUG MUST COMPLY TO BS1363/A. THE FUSE MUST COMPLY TO BS1362. Note: Wood containing non galvanised nails or screws can, with care, be safely cut.
earth exceeds 30mA for 30ms. Always check the operation of the residual current device (R.C.D.) before using the machine. If an extension cable is required it must be a suitable type for use outdoors and so labelled. The manufacturers instructions should be followed when using an extension cable. POWER TOOL GENERAL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS (These General Power Tool Safety Instructions are as specified in BS EN 60745-1:2009 & EN 61029-1:2009) WARNING: Read all safety warnings and instructions.
• • • Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. This enables better control of the power tool in unexpected situations. Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewellery. Keep your hair, clothing and gloves away from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewellery or long hair can be caught in moving parts. If devices are provided for the connection of dust extraction and collection facilities, ensure that these are connected and properly used.
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. Only use saw blades that are recommended by the manufacturer and as detailed in this manual and that comply with the requirements of EN 847-1 the slide bars are locked). Lift the machine by gripping the outer edges of the base with both hands (if a sliding mitre saw, transport using the handles provided).
WARNING: the operation of any mitre saw can result in foreign objects being thrown towards your eyes, which could result in severe eye damage. Before beginning power tool operation, always wear safety goggles or safety glasses with side shield or a full face shield when necessary. WARNING: If any parts are missing, do not operate your mitre saw until the missing parts are replaced. Failure to follow this rule could result in serious personal injury.
Additional Accessories In addition to the standard items supplied with this machine, other accessories are available to enhance its performance. These include the following items: DESCRIPTION PART No Specialist cutting blades (use only Evolution Blades with this machine) Specific to blade type Dust Collection Bag Specific to machine NOTE: We recommend that when the machine is not in use the Cutting Head is locked in its down position with the latching pin fully engaged in its socket.

ASSEMBLY and PREPARATION (1) WARNING: Always disconnect the saw from the power source before making any adjustments.

FOR PORTABLE USE: • • • Mount the saw on a 18mm thick piece of plywood or MDF (800mm x 500mm 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) Fig. 2 HOLD DOWN CLAMP (Fig. 3) Two sockets (one either side) are incorporated into the rear of the machines fence.
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS Caution: The Mitre Saw should be inspected (particularly for the correct functioning of the safety guards) before each use. Do not connect the saw to the power supply until a safety inspection has been carried out. Ensure that the operator is adequately trained in the use, adjustment and maintenance of the machine, before connecting to the power supply and operating the saw.
BEVEL ANGLES (00 AND 450) 00 Bevel Stop Adjustment • • • Fig. 6 • • • • • • • Ensure that the Cutting Head is in the locked down position with the latching pin fully engaged in its socket. (see Fig.6) Ensure that the Cutting Head is upright, against its stop and the bevel pointer is indicating 00 on the scale. (Fig. 7) Place the Set Square on the table with one short edge against the table and the other short edge against the blade (avoiding the TCT tips). (Fig.
450 Bevel Stop Adjustment • • • • • • Fig. 9 • • • Loosen the Bevel Lock Handle and tilt the Cutting Head completely to the left until it rests against the 450 stop. Use a Set Square to see if the blade is at 450 to the table (avoiding the TCT tips). If the saw blade is not in exact alignment adjustment is necessary. Return the Cutting Head to its upright position. Loosen the locknut on the 450 Bevel Adjustment Screw. Use a Hex Key to adjust the Adjustment Screw in or out as required. (Fig.
Fence Alignment The fence must be aligned at 900 (square) to a correctly installed blade The rotary table must be set at ‘00’ miter angle. The Fence is fastened to the table with two socket head Hex screws positioned one at either side of the fence in elongated slots. (Fig. 12) • • • • Fig. 12 • Ensure that the Cutting Head is in the locked down position with the latching pin fully engaged in its socket.
• • Ensure that the ‘cut-off’ material is free to move sideways away from the blade when the cut is completed. Ensure that the ‘cut-off’ piece cannot become ‘jammed’ in any other part of the machine. Do not use this saw to cut small pieces. If the workpiece being cut would cause your hand or fingers to be within 150mm of the sawblade, the workpiece is too small. THE MOTOR ON/OFF SWITCH (Fig. 15) Fig. 15 The ON/OFF Motor Trigger Switch is a non-latching type. It is positioned inside the Cutting HANDLE.
MITRE CUTTING (Fig. 17) The rotary table of this machine can be turned through 450 to the left or right from the normal cross-cut (00) position. Positive stops are provided at 450, 400, 350, 300, 22.50, 150, 100 and 50 to both the right hand and left hand sides. • • Fig. 17 • Loosen the Mitre Locking Screw, (Fig. 18) by turning it anti-clockwise. Turn the rotary table to the desired angle. A mitre angle protractor scale is incorporated into the rotary table to aid setting.
To tilt the Cutting Head to the left: • • • Loosen the bevel locking screw. (Fig. 20a) Tilt the Cutting Head to the required angle. A protractor scale is provided as an aid to setting. (Fig 20b) Tighten the bevel locking screw when the desired angle has been selected. When cutting is completed: Fig. 20a • • • • Release the ON/OFF trigger switch, but keep your hands in position and allow the blade to completely stop.
CLEARING JAMMED MATERIAL • • • • • Fig. 23 • • Turn mitre saw “OFF” by releasing the trigger switch. Allow the blade to come to a complete halt. Unplug the mitre saw from the mains supply. Carefully remove any jammed material from the machine. Check the condition and operation of the safety guard. Check for any other damage to any part of the machine e.g. the blade. Have any damaged parts replaced by a competent technician and a safety inspection carried out before using the machine again.
Note: The arbor screw has a LH thread. Turn clockwise to loosen. Turn counterclockwise to tighten. • Install the new ø210 mm blade. Make sure the rotation arrow on the blade matches the clockwise rotation arrow on the upper guard. Note: The blade teeth should always point downward at the front of the saw. • • Fig. 26 • • • Install the blade flange, washer and arbor screw. Lock the arbor and tighten the arbor screw using moderate force, but do not overtighten.
MAINTENANCE ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION Note: Any maintenance must be carried out with the machine switched off and disconnected from the mains/battery power supply. Check that all safety features and guards operating correctly on a regular basis. Only use this machine if all guards/safety features are fully operational. All motor bearings in this machine are lubricated for life. No further lubrication is required. Use a clean, slightly damp cloth to clean the plastic parts of the machine.
