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.
