VIBRATION

Note: The vibration measurement was made

under standard conditions in accordance with:

EN 62841-1: 2015,

EN 62841-2-5: 2014

WARNING: WEAR HEARING PROTECTION!

The declared vibration total value has been

measured in accordance with a standard test

method and may be used for comparing one

tool with another.

The declared vibration total value may also be

used in a preliminary assessment of exposure.

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 this machine

should monitor the condition of their hands

and fingers 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:

EN 62841-1 and EN 62841-2-5

• Many factors can influence the actual

vibration level during operation e.g. the

work surfaces condition and orientation

and the type and condition of the machine

being used. Before each use, such factors

should be assessed, and where possible

appropriate working practices adopted.

Managing these factors can help reduce the

effects of vibration:

Handling

• Handle the machine with care,

allowing the machine to do the work.

• Avoid using excessive physical effort 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.

WARNING: The vibration emission

during actual use of the power tool can

differ from the declared total value depending

on the ways in which the tool is used.

The need to identify safety measures

and to protect the operator are based on

an estimation of exposure in the actual

conditions of use (taking account of all parts

of the operating cycle, such as the times the

tool is switched off, when it is running idle,

in addition to trigger time).

(2.1) GENERAL SAFETY

INSTRUCTIONS

(These General Power Tool Safety Instructions

are as specified in EN 62841-1: 2015, UL Std.

62841-1 and CSA Std. C22.2 No. 62841-1).

WARNING: Read all safety warnings and

instructions. Failure to follow the warnings

and instructions may result in electric shock,

fire 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.

(2.2) 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

flammable liquids, gases or dust. Power

tools create sparks which may ignite the

dust or fumes.

c) Keep children and bystanders away while

operating power tool. Distractions can cause

you to lose control.

(2.3) 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. Unmodified plugs

and matching outlets will reduce 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.

(2.4) 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 influence of 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 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.

d) Remove any adjusting key or wrench

from blade bolt 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.

www.evolutionpowertools.com

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.

h) Do not let familiarity gained from

frequent use of tools allow you to become

complacent and ignore tool safety

principles. A careless action can cause severe

injury within a fraction of a second.

(2.5) 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 off. 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 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 affect 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 different from those intended

could result in a hazardous situation.

h) Keep handles and grasping surfaces dry,

clean and free from oil and grease. Slippery

handles and grasping surfaces do not allow

for safe handling and control of the tool in

unexpected situations.

(2.6) 5) General Power Tool

Safety Warnings [Service]

a) Have your power tool serviced by a

qualified repair person using only identical

replacement parts. This will ensure that the

safety of the power tool is maintained.

HEALTH ADVICE

WARNING: When using this machine,

dust particles may be produced. In some

instances, depending on the materials you

are working with, this dust can be particularly

harmful. If you suspect that paint on the

surface of material you wish to cut 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.

You are advised to consider the risks

associated with the materials you are working

with and to reduce the risk of exposure.

As some materials can produce dust that may

be hazardous to your health, we recommend

the use of an approved face mask with

replaceable filters when using this machine.

You should always:

• Work in a well-ventilated area.

• Work with approved safety equipment, such

as dust masks that are specially designed to

filter microscopic particles.

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 necessary.

SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS FOR ALL SAWS

[Cutting procedures]

a) DANGER: Keep hands away from cutting

area and the blade. Keep your second

hand on auxiliary handle, or motor

housing. If both hands are holding the saw,

they cannot be cut by the blade.

b) Do not reach underneath the workpiece.

The guard cannot protect you from the blade

below the workpiece.

c) Adjust the cutting depth to the thickness

of the workpiece. Less than a full tooth of

the blade teeth should be visible below the

workpiece.

d) Never hold the workpiece in your hands

or across your leg while cutting. Secure

the workpiece to a stable platform. It is

important to support the work properly to

minimise body exposure, blade binding, or

loss of control.

e) Hold the power tool by insulated

gripping surfaces, when performing an

operation where the cutting tool may

contact hidden wiring or its own cord.

Contact with a “live” wire will also make

exposed metal parts of the power tool ‘live’

and could give the operator an electric shock.

f) When ripping, always use a rip fence

or straight edge guide. This improves the

accuracy of cut and reduces the chance of

blade binding.

g) Always use blades with correct size and

shape (diamond versus round) of arbour

holes. Blades that do not match the mounting

hardware of the saw will run off-centre,

causing loss of control.

h) Never use damaged or incorrect blade

washers or bolt. The blade washers and

bolt were specially designed for your saw,

for optimum performance and safety of

operation.

(3.2) [Kickback causes and

related warnings]

Kickback is a sudden reaction to a pinched,

jammed or misaligned saw blade, causing

an uncontrolled saw to lift up and out of the

workpiece toward the operator;

When the blade is pinched or jammed tightly

by the kerf closing down, the blade stalls and

the motor reaction drives the unit rapidly back

toward the operator;

If the blade becomes twisted or misaligned

in the cut, the teeth at the back edge of the

blade can dig into the top surface of the

workpiece causing the blade to climb out of

the kerf and jump back toward the operator.

(3.3) Kickback is the result of saw misuse

and/or incorrect operating procedures or

conditions and can be avoided by taking

proper precautions as given below.

a) Maintain a firm grip with both hands on

the saw and position your arms to resist

kickback forces. Position your body to

either side of the blade, but not in line

with the blade. Kickback could cause the

saw to jump backwards, but kickback forces

can be controlled by the operator, if proper

precautions are taken.

b) When blade is binding, or when

interrupting a cut for any reason, release

the trigger and hold the saw motionless

in the material until the blade comes to a

complete stop. Never attempt to remove

the saw from the work or pull the saw

backward while the blade is in motion or

kickback may occur. Investigate and take

corrective actions to eliminate the cause of

blade binding.

c) When restarting a saw in the workpiece,

centre the saw blade in the kerf so that

the saw teeth are not engaged into the

material. If a saw blade binds, it may walk up

or kickback from the workpiece as the saw is

restarted.

d) Do not use dull or damaged blades.

Unsharpened or improperly set blades

produce narrow kerf causing excessive friction,

blade binding and kickback.

e) Blade depth and bevel adjusting locking

levers must be tight and secure before

making a cut. If the blade adjustment shifts

while cutting it may cause binding and

kickback.

f) Blade depth and bevel adjusting locking

levers must be tight and secure before

making the cut. If blade adjustment

shifts while cutting, it may cause binding

and kickback.

g) Use extra caution when sawing into

existing walls or other blind areas. The

protruding blade may cut objects that can

cause kickback.

LOWER GUARD FUNCTION

a) Check the lower guard for proper closing

before each use. Do not operate the saw if

the lower guard does not move freely and

close instantly. Never clamp or tie the lower

guard into the open position. If the saw is

accidentally dropped, the lower guard may be

bent. Raise the lower guard with the retracting

handle and make sure it moves freely and does

not touch the blade or any other part, in all

www.evolutionpowertools.com

angles and depths of cut.

b) Check the operation of the lower guard

spring. If the guard and the spring are not

operating properly, they must be serviced

before use. Lower guard may operate

sluggishly due to damaged parts, gummy

deposits, or a build-up of debris.

c) Always observe that the lower guard is

covering the blade before placing the saw

down on bench or floor. An unprotected,

coasting blade will cause the saw to walk

backwards, cutting whatever is in its path. Be

aware of the time it takes for the blade to stop

after switch is released.

ADDITIONAL SAFETY

INSTRUCTIONS

FOR CIRCULAR SAWS

a) Do not use High Speed Steel (HSS)

saw blades.

b) Inspect the machine and the blade

before each use. Do not use deformed,

cracked, worn or otherwise damaged blades.

c) Never use the saw without the original

guard protection system. Do not lock

the moving guard in the open position.

Ensure that the guard operates freely

without jamming.

d) Only use blades that comply with the

characteristics specified in this manual.

Before using accessories, always compare

the maximum allowed RPM of the

accessory with the RPM of the machine.

e) Do not use any abrasive wheels.

f) Use only blade diameter(s) in accordance

with the markings.

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.

and specification of Evolution blades.

• Locate the supplied Blade Change Hex Key, which is

housed in the onboard storage facility (18) (Fig.1)

• Place saw securely on a level, secure surface.

Note: All machines can, with care, be rested on the flat end of

the motor housing casing, (Fig. 2), easing access to the blade

and fixings.

• Remove the chip collector, (12), by depressing the release

button, (13) (Fig.3), exposing the blade bolt, (Fig.4).

• Engage the arbor lock button (17) and loosen the

blade bolt using the supplied hex key. The blade bolt is

equipped with a standard screw thread (turn the counter

clockwise to loosen).

• Remove and safely store the blade bolt and outer flange.

(Fig.5)

• Rotate the lower blade guard (16) then remove blade.

Note: The inner blade flange can be left in place if desired, but

it should be checked and thoroughly cleaned. If it is removed

from the machine it must be replaced back in the same

orientation as it was before removal.

www.evolutionpowertools.com

• Thoroughly clean the blade around the bore area (both

surfaces) where the blade flanges will touch and clamp

the blade.

• Install the (new) blade. Ensure that the direction of

rotation arrows printed on the blade, match the direction

of rotation arrows found on the machines upper and

lower blade guards. (Fig.6).

• Allow the lower blade guard to return to its closed

position.

• Reinstall the outer flange and the blade bolt.

Note: The outer flange has a specially machined bore which

incorporates two opposed ‘flats.’, (Fig. 7), These ‘flats’ engage

with two complimentary ‘flats’ machined on the arbor shaft.

• Re-engage the arbor lock button and tighten the blade

bolt securely, using the Hex Key.

• Release the arbor lock button.

• Return the Hex Key to its dedicated on board storage

position.

• Check that the arbor lock button has fully released by

manually rotating the blade.

• Check the operation of the lower blade guard.

• Replace the chip collector.

Note: The inner flange is dual sided to suit 15.875mm (5/8”) and

25.4mm (1”) blade bore sizes.

Note: Ensure that the inner flange remains in place when

removing outer flange for the first time.

PARALLEL EDGE GUIDE

A removable Parallel Edge Guide, (10) which can be particularly

helpful for accuracy when rip cutting (Fig.8), is supplied with

this machine.

The guide arms should be inserted through the rectangular

slots positioned at either side of the base plate, (Fig.9), and slid

under the forward and back adjustment locking thumb screws,

(11).

Adjust the edge guide so that it is at the required distance from

the blade and tighten the adjusting screw. Check that the edge

guide is parallel to the saw blade.

Note: The Parallel Edge Guide can be fitted on either side of the

base plate.

WARNING: Only fit and adjust the Guide with the

machine disconnected from the power supply.

Note: The arms of the Parallel Edge Guide must pass through all

of the rectangular slots provided in the base plate.

Fig. 8

Fig. 7

www.evolutionpowertools.com

WARNING: It is potentially dangerous to install, and try

to use the Edge Guide with the arm passing through only

one (1) of the machined rectangular base plate slots.

CUTTING DEPTH ADJUSTMENT

• Loosen the Depth Adjustment Locking Mechanism by

pulling the operating lever, (5)(Fig.10), upwards.

• Adjust/re-position the base plate relative to the saw body

by rotating about pivot, to give the required cutting

depth (the amount by which the blade protrudes through

the base plate).

Note: A depth gauge is attached to the base plate. Alignment

of the operating lever, (5), with the corresponding required

depth, (Fig.11), can aid rapid setting.

Tighten the Depth Adjustment Locking Mechanism by pushing

the operating lever, downwards to securely lock in the machine

in the required position.

As the cutting depth is altered the position of the front of the

blade relative to the base plate will vary. As an aid to cutting

the base plate is fitted with a scale, (8) (Fig.12), on which the

position of the front of the blade can be seen. This will be in line

with the reading that corresponds to cutting depth shown on

the depth gauge.

Note: Although this method is useful for rapid depth setting, it

should always be regarded as a guide to the setting achieved.

If a very precise depth of cut is required, then the blade setting

should be checked with an engineer’s precision ruler (not

supplied) or similar and adjusted accordingly.

• In most cases the cutting depth should be set at the

thickness of the material to be cut, plus approximately

3mm.

• Tighten the Depth Adjustment Locking Mechanism by

pushing the operating lever, downwards to securely lock

in the machine in the required position.

OPERATING ADVICE (PRE OPERATION CHECKS)

Note: As all operating environments will be unique and diverse,

Evolution Power Tools offers the following general advice on

safe operational procedures and practices for the consideration

of the operator.

This advice cannot be exhaustive as Evolution has no influence

on the type of workshops or working environments in which

these machines may be used. We recommend that the

operator seeks advice from a competent authority or the

workshop supervisor if they are unsure of any aspect of using

these machines. It is important that routine safety checks are

Fig. 9

Fig. 10

Fig. 12

Fig. 11

www.evolutionpowertools.com

carried out (at each time of usage) before the operator uses the

machine.

WARNING: These pre-use safety checks should be

carried out with the machine disconnected from the

mains power supply.

• Check that all safety guards are operating correctly, and

that all adjustment handles/screws are securely tightened.

• Check that the blade is secure and installed correctly. Also

check that it is the correct blade for the material being cut.

• Check the integrity of the power cord.

• Whenever possible clamp the workpiece to a rigid support

structure such as a workbench, saw horse or similar.

• The operator should always be aware of the position and

routing of the power cable.

PERSONAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT

The operator should wear all relevant PPE (Personal Protection

Equipment) necessary for the task ahead. This could include

safety glasses, full face mask, dust masks, safety shoes etc.

The Upper Blade Guard, is specially shaped to deflect most of

the cut debris downwards and away from the operator into

the detachable chip collector. Such debris may be hot and/or

sharp. The operator should employ due care when clearing such

material from the workpiece after a cut has been completed.

Note: Depending upon the material being cut some debris may

also lodge inside the blade guard. Any such material should be

removed during routine machine maintenance or during a blade

change. Dispose of any collected debris in an environmentally

responsible way.

THE BLADE VIEWING WINDOW

A toughened glass blade viewing window, (9), is located to the

front left hand side of the upper blade guard near where the

blade will emerge from a cut. (Fig.13), This allows the operator

to monitor the progress of a cut, whilst providing protection

from any ejected material.

Note: This glass window should be cleaned as required to ensure

a clear and unobstructed view of the cut line.

WARNING: Any dust and debris created is potentially

harmful to health. Some materials can be particularly

harmful, and the operator should always wear a dust mask which

is suitable for the material being worked with.

Professional help and advice should be sought if the operator is

at all unsure about the potential toxicity of the material to be cut.

WARNING: These machines must never be used to cut

Asbestos or any material that contains, or is suspected

to contain, Asbestos. Consult/inform the relevant authorities,

and seek additional guidance if Asbestos contamination is

suspected.

SWITCHING ON/OFF

This machine is equipped with a safety start trigger switch.

To start the machine:

• Push in the safety lock button, (3), on either side of the

handle with your thumb.

• Depress the main trigger switch, (15), to start the motor.

To stop the motor:

• Release the trigger switch.

WARNING: The motor should never be started with the

saw blade in direct contact with any surface of

the workpiece.

CHIP COLLECTOR

This machine is fitted with a detachable Chip Collector, (12) to

capture metal chips. It is provided with a transparent ‘window’,

(14), so that the operator can see the contents and empty.

Note: When chips reach the arrow, this is an indication that the

chip compartment is almost full.

To remove and empty the Chip Collector, depress the release

button and pull away from the machine, (13). Empty the

contents of the chip collector by sliding the door up, (Fig.14a),

and tipping the contents out over a suitable waste container

and disposing in an environmentally responsible manner.

To replace the chip collector, the clips on the collector,

(Fig.14b), must be inserted behind the hinges, prior to

pressing the collector into place.

WARNING: The Chip Collector is very efficient and must

be checked and emptied at regular intervals. When

cutting steel the Chip Collector can become hot and care must

be taken when handling.

LED BLADE GUIDE LINE

This machine is fitted with a LED light in the upper guard. This

casts a shadow of the blade onto the workpiece. This provides

the user with a clear cut line, and the LED illuminates the cutting

area. This feature requires no user alignment.

ELECTRONIC BRAKE

This machine is fitted with an electronic brake integral to the

motor housing. This slows the blade in a couple of seconds

instead of allowing the blade to continue spinning until it comes

to a natural stop.

ADVANCED OVERLOAD SYSTEM

There is an overload warning light, (2), on the top of the

handle, which illuminates green when connected to the power

supply and used under normal cutting conditions. The LED

will illuminate red as a warning when the motor is at risk of

overheating. If the overload warning lamp illuminates red, stop

cutting and allow to cool down until the overload LED returns to

green. Continuing to use the tool after the LED is illuminated red

could cause irreparable damage.

CHECKING AND REPLACING THE CARBON BRUSHES

WARNING: Disconnect the machine from the power

supply before attempting to check or replace the

Carbon Brushes.

To remove the brushes:

Using a screw driver unscrew the plastic caps found at the back

of the motor housing, (Fig.15). Be careful as the caps are spring-

loaded. Withdraw the brushes with their springs.

Replace both carbon brushes if either has less than 6mm length

of carbon remaining, or if the spring or wire is damaged or

burned. Only replace with similar brushes and replace the caps.

Run the machines motor without load for approximately 5

minutes. This will help the new brushes to ‘bed-in’ and ensure

that the motor runs efficiently.

Note: Used but serviceable brushes can be replaced. These must

be returned to their original service position. They must also be

inserted the same way round as found prior to their removal

from the machine.

TRACK ADAPTOR ASSEMBLY

An attachable track adaptor is available to purchase separately

from Evolution. This device enables effortless straight line cutting

when used in conjunction with a separately available track.

Fig. 15

www.evolutionpowertools.com

The track adaptor is fitted to the base plate under the motor.

To fit the adaptor, hook the adaptor arms over the base plate

edge ensuring the base plate return sits in the channels on the

underside of the adaptor. Ensure the track adaptor arms are

located over the base plate saddles. Secure the adaptor to the

base plate using the provided wing nuts. (Fig.16)

The track adaptor should only be fitted and removed when the

head is in the up position on the depth lock. It has two cams

which project into the base plate channel (one at each end).

‘Turn-buttons’ allow the operator to rotate these cams. (Fig. 17)

The operator should adjust these cams so that when the

machine is placed correctly on a track it can be moved forwards

or backwards easily and smoothly but without any lateral

movement (wobble) being detectable.

CUTTING ADVICE

WARNING: The operator must always be aware of the

position and routing of the power cable. The cable must

be routed in such a way that there is no possibility of the blade

coming into contact with the mains cable.

• Do not force the machine. The overload warning (light will

illuminate red).

• Allow the speed of the saw blade to do the work. Cutting

performance will not be improved by applying excessive

pressure to the machine and blade life will be reduced.

• Place front edge of base plate squarely on the workpiece.

Before starting the motor ensure that the blade is not in

contact with the workpiece.

• When starting a cut, align the cut-outs on the base plate

to the required cut line on the workpiece or alternatively

using the viewing window align the projected shadow

of the blade to the required cut line on the workpiece,

taking care to introduce the blade to the material slowly

so as not to damage blade teeth.

• Use both hands to move the saw forwards through the

workpiece.

• Apply smooth, constant pressure to move the saw

forwards through the workpiece.

Note: All Evolution Steel Cutting machines have an automatic

lower blade guard (16) which has a specially shaped leading

front edge. This feature ensures that the blade guard retracts

smoothly and effortlessly as the machines blade enters the

workpiece. As the blade exits the workpiece the lower blade

guard will automatically return to its normal position covering

the blade completely.

Fig. 16

Fig. 17

www.evolutionpowertools.com

Note: The lower blade guard is designed to be pushed (rotated)

out of the way at the start of a cut by lifting the blade guard

retraction lever (6) to start this rotation may help when cutting

certain materials. (Fig.18)

When a cut has been completed:

• Release the ON/OFF Trigger switch.

• Allow the blade to come to a complete stop.

• Remove the machine from the workpiece allowing

the lower blade guard to return to its normal position

covering the blade.

GENERAL MAINTENANCE & CLEANING

Note: All maintenance must be carried out with the machine

switched off and disconnected from the power supply.

• Check that all safety features and guards are operating

correctly on a regular basis. Only use this machine if all

guards/safety features are fully operational.

• All motor bearings in these machines are lubricated for

life. No further lubrication is required.

• Use a clean, slightly damp cloth to clean the plastic parts

of the machine. Do not use solvents or similar products

which could damage the plastic parts.

WARNING: Do not attempt to clean by inserting pointed

objects through openings in the machine’s casings etc.

The machines air vents should be cleaned using compressed

dry air.

Note: The operator should employ all necessary PPE when

using compressed dry air as a cleaning medium.

GLASS VIEWING WINDOW

Clean the viewing window as required using a damp cloth or

a proprietary glass cleaning medium. Do not use any abrasive

materials as these may damage or scratch the glass.

DEBRIS BUILD-UP (UPPER BLADE GUARD)

During a blade change the opportunity to check for any debris

build up within the upper blade guard should be taken. Any

such debris found should be removed using a suitable tool

(possibly plastic or wooden) which will remove the debris

without damaging the interior of the blade guard.

WARNING: Suitable PPE should be worn by the operator

when carrying out this task. Any removed debris must be

disposed of in a safe and environmentally responsible way.

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.
