POWER TOOL GENERAL

SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

(These General Power Tool Safety Instructions

are as specied in BS EN 60745-1:2009 & EN

61029-1:2009)

WARNING:

Read all safety warnings and instructions.

Failure to follow the warnings and instructions

may result in electric shock, re and/ or serious

injury.

Save all warnings and

instructions for future reference.

The term “power tool” in the warnings refers to

your mains-operated (corded) power tool or

battery-operated (cordless) power tool.

1) General Power Tool Safety Warnings

[Work area safety]

a) Keep work area clean and well lit.

Cluttered or dark areas invite accidents.

b) Do not operate power tools in explosive

atmospheres, such as in the presence of

ammable liquids, gasses or dust. Power tools

create sparks which may ignite the dust or fumes.

c) Keep children & bystanders away while

operating power tool. Distractions can cause

you to lose control.

2) General Power Tool Safety Warnings

[Electrical Safety]

a) Power tool plugs must match the outlet.

Never modify the plug in any way. Do

not use any adapter plugs with earthed

(grounded) power tools. Unmodied plugs

and matching outlets will reduce the risk of

electric shock.

b) Avoid body contact with earthed or

grounded surfaces, such as pipes, radiators,

ranges and refrigerators. There is an increased

risk of electric shock if your body is earthed or

grounded.

c) Do not expose power tools to rain or wet

conditions. Water entering a power tool will

increase the risk of electric shock.

d) Do not abuse the cord. Never use the

cord for carrying, pulling or unplugging the

power tool. Keep cord away from heat, oil,

sharp edges or moving parts. Damaged or

entangled cords increase the risk of electric shock.

e) When operating a power tool outdoors,

use an extension cord suitable for outdoor

use. Use of a cord suitable for outdoor use reduces

the risk of electric shock.

f) If operating a power tool in a damp

location is unavoidable, use a residual

current device (RCD) protected supply. Use

of an RCD reduces the risk of electric shock.

3) General Power Tool Safety Warnings

[Personal Safety].

a) Stay alert, watch what you are doing

and use common sense when operating a

power tool. Do not use a power tool while

you are tired or under the inuence of

www.evolutionpowertools.com

drugs, alcohol or medication. A moment of

inattention while operating power tools may

result in serious personal injury.

b) Use personal protective equipment. Always

wear eye protection. Protective equipment such

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 o-position before

connecting to power source and or battery

pack, picking up or carrying the tool.

Carrying power tools with your nger on the

switch or energising the power tools that have

the switch on invites accidents.

d) Remove any adjusting key or wrench

before turning the power tool on. A wrench

or key left attached to a rotating part of a power

tool may result in personal injury.

e) Do not overreach. Keep proper footing

and balance at all times. This enables better

control of the power tool in unexpected situations.

f) 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.

g) If devices are provided for the connection

of dust extraction and collection facilities,

ensure that these are connected and

properly used. Use of dust collection can

reduce dust-related hazards.

4) General Power Tool Safety Warnings

[Power tool use and care].

a) Do not force the power tool. Use the

correct power tool for your application. The

correct power tool will do the job better and safer

at a rate for which it was designed.

b) Do not use the power tool if the switch

does not turn it on or o. Any power tool

that cannot be controlled with the switch is

dangerous and must be repaired.

c) Disconnect the power tool from the

power source and/or battery pack from the

power tool before making any adjustments,

changing accessories, or storing power

tools. Such preventative safety measures reduce

the risk of starting the power tool accidentally.

d) Store idle power tools out of the reach

of children and do not allow persons

unfamiliar with the power tool or these

Instructions to operate the power tool.

Power tools are dangerous in the hands of

untrained users.

e) Maintain power tools. Check for

misalignment or binding of moving parts,

breakage of moving parts and any other

condition that may aect the power tools

operation. If damaged, have the power

tool repaired before use. Many accidents are

caused by poorly maintained power tools.

f) Keep cutting tools sharp and clean.

Properly maintained cutting tools with sharp

cutting edges are less likely to bind and are easier

to control.

g) Use the power tool, accessories and

tool bits etc. in accordance with these

instructions, taking into account the

working conditions and the work to be

performed. Use of the power tool for operations

dierent from those intended could result in a

hazardous situation.

5) General Power Tool Safety Warnings

[Service]

a) Have your power tool serviced by a

qualied repair person using only identical

replacement parts. This will ensure that the

safety of the power tool is maintained.

HEALTH ADVICE

WARNING: When drilling, sanding, sawing or

grinding, dust particles will be produced. In

some instances, depending on the materials

you are working with, this dust can be

particularly harmful to you (e.g. lead from

old gloss paint).You are advised to consider

the risks associated with the materials you

are working with and to reduce the risk

of exposure. Some wood and wood type

products, especially MDF (Medium Density

Fibreboard), can produce dust that may be

hazardous to your health. We recommend the

www.evolutionpowertools.com

use of an approved face mask with replaceable

lters when using this machine, in addition to

using the dust extraction facility.

You should always:

• Work in a well-ventilated area.

• Work with approved safety equipment,

such as dust masks that are specially

designed to lter microscopic particles.

WARNING: If you suspect that paint on

surfaces in your home contains lead, seek

professional advice. Lead based paints

should only be removed by a professional

and you should not attempt to remove it

yourself. Once the dust has been deposited

on surfaces, hand to mouth contact can result

in the ingestion of lead. Exposure to even

low levels of lead can cause irreversible brain

and nervous system damage. The young and

unborn children are particularly vulnerable.

ADDITIONAL SAFETY RULES FOR YOUR

EVOLUTION JIGSAW

1. Do not expose to rain or water.

2. Wear hearing protection when necessary.

Exposure to noise can cause hearing loss.

3. Cutting/scraping blades and accessories

can become very hot. Take care when

changing or handling any bits or accessories.

4. Hold the tool by the insulated gripping

surfaces, especially when performing an

operation where the blade may contact

hidden wiring. If the blade contacts a ‘live’

wire, exposed metal parts of the power tool

could become ‘live’ and give the operator an

electric shock.

5. If possible, use clamps or a vice to hold

your work.

6. When cutting into walls, oors or similar

areas, make sure, as far as possible, that

there are no services (gas or water pipes,

electric cables etc) in the path of the blade.

Striking hidden services could cause injury to

the user and damage to the property.

7. Always disconnect the jigsaw from the

power supply before changing the blade.

Never use damaged or distorted blades.

8. Always allow the saw to come to a

complete halt before putting it down. A

running tool may bounce uncontrollably if the

blade tip contacts any surface.

9. Always consider the work environment

and wear the appropriate personal

protection equipment. This could include dust

masks, eye protection, safety footwear etc.

WARNING: the operation of any power tool

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 where needed.

WARNING: If any parts are missing, do not

operate your machine until the missing parts

are replaced. Failure to follow this rule could

result in serious personal injury.

VIBRATION

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 nger 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 sanding machines should

monitor the condition of their hands and

ngers closely. If any of the symptoms become

evident, seek immediate medical advice.

• The measurement and assessment of

human exposure to hand-transmitted

vibration in the workplace is given in: BS

EN ISO 5349-1:2001 and BS EN ISO 5349-

2:2002.

• Many factors can inuence the actual

vibration level during operation e.g. the

work surfaces condition and orientation

www.evolutionpowertools.com

and the type and condition of the saw blade

being used. Before each use, such factors

should be assessed, and where possible

appropriate working practices adopted.

Managing these factors can help reduce the

eects of vibration:

HANDLING

• Handle the machine with care, allowing the

machine to do the work.

• Avoid using excessive physical eort on any

of the machines controls.

• Consider your security and stability, and the

orientation of the machine during use.

WORK SURFACE

• Consider the work surface material; its

condition, density, strength, rigidity and

orientation.

Orbital cutting action has an aggressive blade cutting motion

and is especially suited for cutting soft materials.

During orbital cutting the blade moves forwards as well as

up and down. Position 1 is the least aggressive of the orbital

cutting actions, with position 3 being the most aggressive.

The Table below gives some typical examples of the use of the

orbital cutting facility. We recommend that the operator always

practices on a piece of unwanted material to determine the

most suitable selection for the task at hand.

POSITION TYPICAL APPLICATION

0 Thin materials. Fine cuts. Tight curves. All metals.

1 Hard materials such as chipboard, MDF, Plywood etc.

2 Thick materials such as constructional timber and

plastic.

3 Fast cuts when cutting with the grain in softwood

material.

5. LASER CUTTING GUIDE

This jigsaw is tted with a Laser Guide which can be useful when

cutting straight lines. Only switch the Laser Guide on when you

are about to make a straight cut, and switch it o when the cut

has been completed. The switch is located on the front of the

machine. Press the ‘I’ side of the rocker switch to turn the Laser

Guide ‘On’. Press the ‘O’ side of the rocker switch to turn the

Laser Guide ‘O’.

WARNING: Do not stare directly at the laser beam. A hazard

may exist if you deliberately stare into the beam. Please observe

all of the following safety rules.

• The laser beam must not be deliberately aimed at personnel

and must be prevented from being directed towards the eyes

of a person or animal.

• Always ensure that the laser beam is used only on workpieces

that have non-reective surfaces, i.e natural wood or matt

surfaces etc.

• Never exchange the laser module assembly for a dierent

type or class of laser.

• Repairs to the laser module must only be conducted by

Evolution Power Tools or their authorized agent.

REPLACEMENT OF LASER BATTERIES

Power for the Laser Guide is provided by two (2) ‘AAA’ Cells.

When exhausted these should be replaced.

Access to the battery compartment is gained by loosening the

screw and removing the battery compartment cover.

(Fig. 5)

Observe the polarity of the cells and replace the cover after cell

replacement.

6. FOOTPLATE ANGLE ADJUSTMENT

Note: The footplate is factory set and adjusted so that the blade

cuts at 90

to the footplate.

The footplate may be tilted to an angle of up to 45

to either

side with positive location stops at 15

, 30

and 45

To adjust the footplate:

WARNING: Disconnect the jigsaw from the power supply before

attempting to adjust the footplate.

• Unclip the plastic footplate shoe and store safely for future

installation. (Fig. 6)

Fig 8

Close up view of socket

headed screw.

• Loosen the socket headed screw that holds the footplate to

the machine. (Fig. 8)

• Tilt the footplate to the desired angle. To engage one of

the positive stops it will be necessary to slide the footplate

backwards or forwards depending upon the stop required.

• Tighten the socket-headed screw carefully so as not to

damage the threads.

• Re-install the Dust Extraction Adaptor tube.

• Ret the plastic footplate shoe ensuring that all six (6)

securing lugs (2 to the front of the footplate and 2 either side)

are correctly seated.

Note: The positive location stops are intended as a guide only.

For accurate setting of the footplate we recommend the use of a

vernier angle gauge (not supplied).

7. CHIP GUARDS

Two (2) plastic chip guards are provided. The Front Chip Guard

should always be tted and the Footplate Chip Guard can be

tted to the machine as and when required.

To t the Front Chip Guard:

• Ensure that the machine is disconnected from the power supply

• The front guard (Fig. 9) clips over the front of the machine,

below the laser guide and in front of the steel blade guard.

Note: This guard is precisely engineered and designed to just

clip into place. There is sucient ‘spring’ in the design to allow

the guard to be carefully positioned into its service position.

The operator should use care and ensure that the guard is not

‘forced’ into place with the attendant risk of damage to the

guard. Seat the guard carefully in its service position.

The Footplate Chip Guard (Fig. 10) can be useful when cutting

long straight lines. The use of this guard will help prevent the

sawblade from swinging during a cut.

To t the Footplate Chip Guard:

• Ensure that the machine is disconnected from the power supply.

• Unclip the plastic Footplate Shoe from the Footplate.

• Clip the Footplate Chip Guard into the inside of the Footplate

Shoe with the ‘Vee’ pointing towards the rear of the shoe, and

the raised platform positioned within the throat of the shoe.

Ensure positive location within the shoe. The guard should lie

‘ush’ with both surfaces of the shoe.

• Carefully replace the Footplate Shoe with the attached Chip

Guard onto the Footplate.

8. PARALLEL EDGE GUIDE

The supplied Parallel Edge Guide can be tted to either side of

the machine. It can be a useful aid when cutting straight lines

that are parallel to an existing edge.

To t the Parallel Edge Guide:

• Loosen the cross-head screw found in the Parallel Edge Guide

clamp and slide the clamp from the arm of the guide.

• Locate the clamp in the required service position on either

the right or left hand side of the machines footplate just

ahead of the blade. (Fig. 11).

• Slide the arm of the Parallel Edge Guide through the clamp

and through the two (2) rectangular slots in the footplate.

• Set the Edge Guide at the required distance and then tighten

the cross-head screw to lock the Edge Guide securely in place.

Note: The Front Chip Guard can be tted to this machine when

the Parallel Edge Guide is tted.

9. AIR BLOWER

This Jigsaw is equipped with an Air Blower. This can be used

to blow away dust created by the blade from the cutting area

thereby keeping the cutting line(s) clear and visible.

Note: We recommend that the Air Blower is used in conjunction

with a suitable workshop dust extraction machine connected to

the Dust Extraction Adaptor of the jigsaw.

We recommend that the Air Blower is not used when cutting

metal or when cutting materials that require a lubricant.

Mechanical vacuum dust extraction using the Adaptor tube will

always work better with the Air Blower turned ‘OFF’.

To switch the Air Blower ‘ON’:

• Push the ‘Air Blower’ control slide fully to the right (as seen

from the operators viewpoint) (Fig 12)

To switch the Air Blower ‘OFF’:

• Push the ‘Air Blower’ control slide fully to the left.

10. DUST EXTRACTION

This jigsaw is tted with a Dust Extraction Adaptor tube.

(Fig. 13)

Whenever possible it is good practice to connect the Adaptor

tube to a workshop dust extraction machine. The Air Blower

should be in the ‘OFF’ position.

During operations the use of a dust extraction machine will help

keep the workplace clean and dust free, enhancing operator

safety and comfort and aiding operator cutting accuracy.

CUTTING ADVICE

Note: Always ensure that the footplate of the jigsaw is in close

contact with the workpiece throughout the cutting procedure.

If the footplate is allowed to ‘lift’ away from the workpiece

www.evolutionpowertools.com

operator control and accuracy will be

compromised.

• Clearly mark out the cutting line to be

followed on the workpiece (use a pencil or

other suitable marking device).

• Small workpieces should be secured in a

vice or clamped to a workbench. Check that

the passage of the blade is not obstructed.

• Larger workpieces should be clamped to

sawhorses or similar. Check that the passage

of the blade is not obstructed.

• Set the Cutting Action Selection Lever to the

desired position.

• Align the saw with the cutting line and rest

the front of the footplate on the workpiece.

Note: Ensure that the blade is not in contact

with the workpiece at this stage.

• Switch the machine ‘On’ and gently feed the

jigsaw into the workpiece. Be careful to hold

the jigsaw rmly and keep full control as the

blade contacts the workpiece.

• Adjust the speed of the blade as necessary

to achieve optimum cutting performance.

• Use the Laser guide if necessary, but only on

non-reective materials.

Note: Do not force the blade. Let the blade do

the work by adjusting the speed and feed rates

to achieve best performance.

CUTTING METAL

When cutting any metal a suitable cutting

lubricant/coolant should be used. Cast Iron and

Brass can be cut without a cutting lubricant.

Always use a blade that is capable of cutting

metal, and secure the workpiece securely,

if practicable, in a vice or similar clamping

device.

WARNING: When cutting metal the Cutting

Action Selection Lever must be set to the ‘0’

position.

CUTTING CIRCLES OR CURVES

When cutting curves, particularly tight

curves, start with a reasonably slow speed,

and gradually increase the speed until the

optimum performance is achieved. Do not

force the blade, as in curved cutting this can

lead to the blade deection, and possible

blade breakage.

To cut a circle from a workpiece:

• Mark out the circle in the required postion.

• Drill a Ø12 mm hole near the centre of the

circle.

• Insert the jigsaw blade into the ø12 mm

hole. Ensure that there is clearance between

the blade and the workpiece.

• Begin cutting towards the outside of the

circle, slowly in a spiral fashion, until the

blade is following the required cutting line.

• Advance the jigsaw slowly to avoid cutting

a slanted surface or experiencing blade

deection.

ANGLED CUTTING

Angled cutting, whatever the material, is

always more dicult than general straight

cutting. With angled cutting it is very important

to allow the saw blade to do the work. Do

not ‘force’ the blade. A trial run on unwanted

material to determine the best combination of

blade feed and speed is recommended.

Return to the factory setting when angled

cutting is completed. Recheck the security of

the blade.

BLADES

Choose blades carefully. Use only a blade that

is suitable for this machine and for the material

to be cut.

The ability of any jigsaw to follow curves,

provide smooth nishes or faster cutting is

directly related to the type of blade employed.

MAINTENANCE

Your Evolution Jigsaw requires no major

additional lubrication or maintenance.

Occasionally apply a drop of light machine oil

to the blade guide spindle. There are no user

serviceable parts in your Evolution Jigsaw.

Keep the tool clean, but do not use chemical

cleaners which may damage the plastic parts.

Clean with a dry cloth. Ensure that the motor

ventilation slots are kept clean.

ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION

Waste electrical products should not be

disposed of with household waste. Please

recycle where facilities exist. Check with your

Local Authority or retailer for recycling advice.
