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.
• The lower guard may be retracted manually only for
special cuts such as "plunge cuts" and "compound
cuts". Raise the lower guard by the retracting handle
and as soon as the blade enters the material, the
lower guard must be released. For all other sawing, the
lower guard should operate automatically.
• 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
• Wear a dust mask. Exposure to dust particles can be
harmful to your health and make it difficult to breath.
Use a dust extraction system and wear a suitable
protective mask.
• Do not use any abrasive wheels.
• Use only saw blades that comply with the
characteristics specified in this manual.
• Use only saw blade diameter(s) in accordance with
the markings.
• Use only saw blades with a speed marking that is
higher than or equal to the speed marked on the
tool.
• Avoid heating the blade tips. Avoid overheating or
melting the materials. When cutting plastic, let the
tool do the work. Do not force the tool or cut too slowly
which could result in melting the plastic.
• Use only saw blades recommended by the
manufacturer, which conform to EN 847-1, if
intended for wood and analogous materials.
RESIDUAL RISKS
Even with application of safety standards and using the
tool as prescribed, certain residual risks can remain:
• Risk of personal injury due to prolonged use.
• Risk of injury caused by dust.
• Risk of injury caused by flying objects.
• Risk of burns due to accessories becoming hot.
• Risk of electric shock due to cutting through electric
cables. When cutting through floors, ceilings of walls
ensure there are no hidden cables or water pipes.
CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE
WARNING: Disconnect the battery pack from the
tool before any adjustments, cleaning, or maintenance
is carried out.
• Use compressed air to blow dirt out of the main
housing air vents and the blade guard. Wear approved
eye protection and a dust mask.
• Use a cloth dampened with water to clean the other
areas of the tool. Never use solvent based or harsh
chemicals of any type as this may weaken, damage or
destroy plastic components.
• Do not attempt to modify the tool or accessories in
any way.
• When servicing only use Evolution original parts and
carried out by a qualified person.

Before the first use of the Evolution Cutting Track the
Splinter Guard Strip needs to match the saw and blade.
To match the saw to the track:
•
Fully assemble the Cutting Track as in the track
instructions.
•
Clamp the track to the appropriate piece of spare or
scrap material.
•
Evolution's cutting track compatible machines
have two (2) cams which project into the sole plate
channel. (Fig 5.1)
•
With the blade removed adjust these cams so that
when the machine is placed correctly on a track it
can be moved forewards and backwards smoothly
without any lateral movement being detectable.
•
Assemble the blade back on the saw without moving
the cams. (Fig. 5.2)
•
Set the saw blade to maximum depth of cut.
