Note: The vibration measurement was made

under standard conditions in accordance with:

EN 62841-1:2015

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.

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 this machine 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 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 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.

WARNING: The vibration emission during actual

use of the power tool can dier 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 o, when it is running idle, in addition

to trigger time).

POWER TOOL GENERAL

SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

(These General Power Tool Safety Instructions

are as specified in EN 62841-1:2015,

EN 62841-2-11:2016)

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 and 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

www.evolutionpowertools.com

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 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

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 jewelry. Keep your hair, clothing

and gloves away from moving parts. Loose

clothes, jewelry 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

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 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 dierent from those intended

could result in a hazardous situation.

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 lters 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 lter 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.

ADDITIONAL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

WARNING: Always disconnect the

reciprocating saw from the mains supply

before changing blades, servicing, cleaning

or adjusting the reciprocating saw.

• Keep your hands away from the cutting

area and the cutting blade. Hold the

machine by gripping the insulated hand -

hold areas with both hands. If both hands

are holding the machine, they cannot come

into contact with the blade.

• Do not use dull or damaged blades. Dull or

damaged blades can break easily and are

prone to ‘jamming’ which can cause ‘kickback’.

• Always check that the blade is correctly

installed within the machines blade holder.

Wear protective gloves when handling a

blade and conduct a ‘tug test’ when a new

blade is installed to ensure the blade has been

successfully ‘captured’ by the blade holder.

• Do not use excessive force. Excessive force

overloads the motor and reduces working

eciency and service life.

• Always wear the relevant PPE (Personal

Protective Equipment) for the job at hand.

This could typically include safety glasses or

eye shields, dust masks, protective clothing

and safety shoes, ear defenders and safety

helmet, etc.

• The operator should always be aware of

the routing of the mains power cable. The

cable should be routed in such a way that

it cannot become a trip or other type of

hazard and cannot come into contact with

the machines blade.

• Always check walls, oors and ceilings for

hidden power cables, water and/or gas

pipes or other services. Striking hidden

services could be extremely dangerous to

the operator, and could cause considerable

property damage. Detectors that can

determine the position of hidden utilities

within or behind a wall, etc, are readily

available at most tool retailers.

• Only withdraw the blade from a cut when

the machine has been switched ‘o’, and

the blade has come to a complete stop.

Withdrawing a moving blade from a cut

could lead to the moving blade striking

a nearby surface causing the operator to

experience severe ‘kickback’.

• If possible, ensure that any work-piece

is rmly clamped to prevent movement

during the cutting operation.

• Never try to stop the cutting blade by

applying sideways pressure to the blade.

Allow the blade come to a halt by turning

the machine ‘O’, allowing the motor to

slow and stop normally.

• Always check that the mains supply voltage

is the same as the indicated supply voltage

shown on the machines rating plate. Using

this machine with a supply voltage that is

dierent from that shown on the machines

rating plate could damage the machine and

could potentially cause the machine to be

electrically unsafe.

www.evolutionpowertools.com

• Do not alter or modify the power cord. This

saw is equipped with an approved cord and

plug for its intended country of use. If the

moulded plug or the power cord is damaged

in any way it must be replaced with an

identical type by a competent technician.

WARNING: This machine must not be used to

cut any material that may contain asbestos. If the

presence of asbestos is suspected, consult the

relevant authorities for advice. Do not attempt

to cut any suspect material until it has been

declared safe to do so by the relevant authorities.

INSTALLING OR REMOVING A BLADE

WARNING: Only attempt these procedures with the machine

disconnected from the mains power supply.

Note: We recommend that the operator wears protective gloves

when handling blades. Care should be exercised as a recently

used blade could be hot and/or contaminated with debris.

To install a blade:

• Ensure that the blade holder is clean and free from debris or

other contaminates.

• Twist and hold the blade clamping dial anti-clockwise.

(Fig. 1)

• Fully insert the shank of the blade into the blade holder.

• Release the blade clamp so it returns to its original position.

• Check that the blade is secure.

WARNING: It is important that the hole in the tang of the blade

engages with the ‘spigot’ located inside the blade holder.

To remove a blade:

• If recently used allow the blade to cool down.

• Ensure that the machine is facing downwards to allow

any debris to fall out.

• Twist and hold the blade clamping dial anti-clockwise.

• Gently pull the blade from the blade holder.

Note: If a blade is being removed because it is at the end of its

service life eject it straight into a recycling bin.

WORKPIECE CONTACT PLATE (Fig. 2)

WARNING: To achieve the best cutting eciency, minimise

the risk of vibration, and blade jumping and/or breakage, the

workpiece contact plate must be kept rmly in contact with the

workpiece.

Note: The workpiece contact plate is pivoted and adjustable.

This feature allows the contact plate to adjust and lie ush on a

workpiece surface even when the machines main body is at a

slight angle to that surface.

CUTTING REACH & CAPACITY

By using dierent length blades and/or altering the service

position of the workpiece contact plate, it is possible to increase or

decrease the overall ‘reach’ and cutting capacity of the machine.

(Fig. 3)

Fig. 1

Fig. 2

Fig. 3

www.evolutionpowertools.com

To adjust the position of the contact plate:

• Release the contact plate locking lever. (Fig. 4)

• Pull out or push in the contact plate as required.

• Once the plate is in the desired position, push the locking

lever back into its original position to lock the plate in place.

• Check that it is secure.

THE TRIGGER SWITCH

The ON/OFF trigger switch is located within the machines rear

handle. (Fig. 5).

• Squeeze the trigger switch to start the machines motor.

• Release the trigger switch to stop the machines motor.

LOCK-ON SWITCH

The trigger is equipped with a lock-on switch. To operate the

lock-on feature:

• Fully squeeze the trigger to start the machines motor.

• Press and hold the lock-on switch. (Fig. 6)

• Release the trigger then release the lock-on switch.

WARNING: The motor will run continuously until the trigger is

pressed and the lock-on switch is tripped.

THE STROKE RATE CONTROL DIAL

The stroke rate of the machine can be varied. A stroke rate

control dial is located on the trigger. (Fig. 7).

Note: The ergonomic positioning of this control dial allows a

skilled operator to adjust the stroke rate of the machine during

cutting operations.

Rotating this dial will alter the stroke rate of the machine from

approximately 800 strokes a minute up to a maximum of 2800

strokes per minute.

Note: We recommend that the operator begins any cutting

operation using a slow stroke rate, and increases the stroke rate

to achieve optimum performance as cutting progresses.

A practical trial on scrap material may be useful to determine

the best stroke rate for any particular material or application.

www.evolutionpowertools.com

180˚ ROTATING HANDLE

The handle of the machine can be rotated through 180˚ and has

3 positions to achieve maximum control during cutting.

To rotate the handle:

• Slide and hold the handle rotation button backwards.

(Fig. 8)

• Twist the handle through 90˚ into the desired position.

• Release the rotation button.

• Check the handle is secure and the button is fully engaged.

WARNING: Handle adjustments must only be made when the

motor is o. Adjusting the handle while the tool is in use can

lead to serious injury.

GENERAL CUTTING

WARNING: Never start the machine with the blade in contact

with the workpiece.

• Select a low stroke rate.

• Hold the machine with both hands.

• Ensure that the workpiece contact plate is rmly in contact

with the workpiece but that the blade is not. (Fig. 9).

• Switch on the machine.

• Very gradually, and holding the machine rmly, introduce the

blade into the workpiece until it is cutting successfully.

• Operate the stroke rate control dial until optimum cutting

performance is achieved.

• Never ‘force’ the blade. Allow the blade to cut through the

workpiece without applying undue pressure. Forcing the

blade will reduce blade life, increase the likelihood of blade

breakage, and put strain on the machines motor.

WARNING: If the saw blade should jam, switch o the machine

immediately and disconnect from the mains supply.

JAMMED BLADES

WARNING: Jammed blades may be very hot and/or

contaminated with debris. The operator should exercise great

caution when attempting to remove a ‘jammed’ blade,

and employ all necessary PPE.

To remove a jammed blade the kerf (the saw cut made by the

blade) will have to be widened.

• Remove the machine from the blade by operating the blade

clamping dial, and carefully easing the machine from the

jammed blade.

• Widen the kerf with a suitable tool until the blade can be

pulled from the workpiece.

www.evolutionpowertools.com

PLUNGE CUTTING

WARNING: Plunge cutting is a technique that must only be

used on soft building materials such as plasterboard etc. It is

not a suitable procedure for use on harder materials, and must

never be employed on metallic materials.

Note: This technique should not be attempted by

inexperienced operatives.

Note: Only dedicated plunge cutting blades must be used

when attempting a plunge cut.

Note: To reduce the risk of blade kickback when plunge cutting.

It is recommended to drill a pilot hole and plunge cut into the

hole as a starting point, giving you extra control and stability.

To plunge cut:

• Complete any/all marking out of the cutting lines using

a pencil, marker pen, etc, on the workpiece before

commencing operations.

• Hold the machine at an angle to the workpiece with the

bottom edge of the workpiece contact plate resting rmly

against the workpiece. (Fig. 10).

Note: The blade must not be in contact with the workpiece at this

stage. The operator must also be satised that the blade will not

contact the workpiece immediately the machine is switched on.

• Set stroke rate to its maximum setting.

• Switch the machine on.

• Very slowly rotate the machine using the bottom edge of

the workpiece contact plate as a fulcrum. Allow the blade

to very gradually ingress into the workpiece.

• When the contact plate is lying at against the workpiece

continue cutting as normal.

• Adjust the stroke rate for optimum cutting performance.

FLUSH CUTTING

Flush cutting is cutting very close to a surface such as a oor,

wall or ceiling etc. This technique allows the operator to cut

o unwanted protruding material such as redundant joists,

brackets pipes, etc, from a building.

WARNING: The operator should ensure that any redundant

architectural objects etc, are not ‘live’ and it is safe to cut

through them.

Note: Flush cutting is only possible when using highly exible

bi-metal blades.

Fig. 10

www.evolutionpowertools.com

To ush cut:

• Select and insert the correct saw blade into the machine.

• Position the side of saw blade directly against the oor, wall, etc.

• A side edge of the workpiece contact plate should be in

contact with the oor, wall, etc.

• Switch on the machine and gradually introduce the blade into

the workpiece.

• Adjust the stroke rate for optimum perfomance.

• Cut through the workpiece slowly allowing the exible blade

to curve as required. (Fig. 11).

• Allow the side of the exible blade to gently glide across the

oor, wall, etc.

CLEANING

WARNING: Any cleaning must only be attempted with the

machine disconnected from the mains power supply.

Clean the saw blade holder and remove any dirt and/or debris

build up. The saw blade should be removed from the machine to

facilitate proper and thorough cleaning.

Remove any contaminants by using a soft haired brush.

Compressed air can also be used. If this is the case the operator

should take all the necessary safety precautions to safeguard the

surrounding environment and any bystanders that may be present.

The operator should use all relevant PPE.

Safety glasses should be worn to protect the operators eyes from

blown debris.
