sure the adjustable fence is set correctly to
support the workpiece and will not interfere
with the blade or the guarding system.
Without turning the tool "ON" and with no
workpiece on the table, move the saw blade
through a complete simulated cut to assure
there will be no interference or danger of
cutting the fence.
NOTE: The phrase "bevel or" does not apply for
saws without bevel adjustment.
l) Provide adequate support such as table
extensions, saw horses, etc. for a workpiece that
is wider or longer than the table top. Workpieces
longer or wider than the mitre saw table can tip
if not securely supported. If the cut-off piece or
workpiece tips, it can lift the lower guard or be
thrown by the spinning blade.
m) Do not use another person as a substitute
for a table extension or as additional
support. Unstable support for the workpiece
can cause the blade to bind or the workpiece to
shift during the cutting operation pulling you
and the helper into the spinning blade.
n) The cut-off piece must not be jammed or
pressed by any means against the spinning
saw blade. If confined, i.e. using length stops, the
cut-off piece could get wedged against the blade
and thrown violently.
o) Always use a clamp or a fixture designed
to properly support round material such as
rods or tubing. Rods have a tendency to roll
while being cut, causing the blade to "bite" and
pull the work with your hand into the blade.
p) Let the blade reach full speed before
contacting the workpiece. This will reduce
the risk of the workpiece being thrown.
q) If the workpiece or blade becomes
jammed, turn the mitre saw off. Wait for all
moving parts to stop and disconnect the
plug from the power source and/or remove
the battery pack. Then work to free the
jammed material. Continued sawing with a
jammed workpiece could cause loss of control
or damage to the mitre saw.
r) After finishing the cut, release the switch,
hold the saw head down and wait for the
blade to stop before removing the cut-off
piece. Reaching with your hand near the
coasting blade is dangerous.
s) Hold the handle firmly when making an
incomplete cut or when releasing the switch
before the saw head is completely in the
down position.
The braking action of the saw may cause the
saw head to be suddenly pulled downward,
causing a risk of injury.
NOTE: The above warning applies only for
mitre saws with a brake system.

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. 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.
• Only use genuine Evolution blades
rated for this machine.
• Do not use saw blades that are damaged or
deformed as they could shatter and cause
serious injury to the operator or bystanders.
• If the table insert becomes damaged or
worn it must be replaced with an identical
one available from the manufacturer.
PERSONAL PROTECTIVE
(3.6)
EQUIPMENT (PPE)
Hearing protection should be worn in order
to reduce the risk of induced hearing loss.
Eye protection should be worn in order to
prevent the possibility of the loss of sight
from ejected chippings.
Respiratory protection is also advised as some
wood and wood type products especially MDF
(Medium Density Fibreboard) can produce
dust that can be hazardous to your health. We
r
ecommend the use of an approved face mask
with replaceable filters when using this machine
in addition to using the dust extraction facility.
Gloves should be worn when handling blades
or rough material. Heat resistant gloves should
be worn when handling metallic materials
which may be hot. It is recommended that saw
blades should be carried in a holder wherever
practicable. It is not advisable to wear gloves
when operating the mitre saw.
