INSERTING THE CARRIAGE SLIDE

IMPORTANT: If for any reason (transit damage,
unpacking error, operator mistake, etc.) the
locating lugs at the tip of the carriage slide
arms have been 'tripped' , the sliding carriage
cannot be fitted into the bevel neck or onto the
cutting head.
The locating lugs (Fig.9) must be reset, if either
or both have been 'tripped' prematurely.

RESETTING THE LOCATING LUGS

(Fig.10)
• Gently push the protruding lug into the Carriage
arm. (a)
• Gently ease the locating lug deployment plunger
forward by using a flat bladed screwdriver (not
supplied) as a lever. (b)
The carriage slides two (2) arms should be inserted
through the two linear bearings contained within
the bevel neck.
The carriage slide should be inserted from the back
ensuring that the 'Evolution' logo is the correct way
up. (Fig. 11)
• Slide the sliding carriage arms through
the bevel neck for approximately half of their
length.
• Screw the carriage slide locking screw into the
threaded hole above the right hand arm of the
carriage slide. (Fig. 12)
Note: Ensure that the anti-vibration spring is fitted
underneath the hand knob before fitting the
locking screw into its service position.
• Tighten the locking screw to lock the sliding
carriage into the desired position.

ATTACHING THE CUTTING HEAD

• Align the cutting head with the two (2) sliding
carriage arms. (Fig. 13a)
• Push the cutting head onto the Carriage arms
firmly until the 'click' of the Locating Lugs
deploying is heard. (Fig. 13b)
Note: The deployed locating lugs must be fully
visible when viewed from the side of the cutting
head. (Figs. 14a, 14b, 14c)
The Locating Lugs are coloured green to make
identification easy.

THE MACHINE TABLE EXTENSIONS

Note: Two (2) machine table extension pieces are
provided with this machine. They are 'handed' , one
being for the right hand side, and one for the left
hand side.
TO FIT THE TABLE EXTENSIONS:
• Carefully examine the table extension pieces to
determine which is for the right hand side and
which is for the left hand side.
• Remove the socket headed screws (Fig. 16)
from the table using the hex key provided.
• Position the relevant Extension piece onto the
table and secure it into its service position using
the socket headed screws.
• Repeat for the second Extension piece.

ROUTING THE POWER CABLE

WARNING: This machine is equipped with a
mains cable and a moulded plug which satisfies
the regulations of the receiving country. This
cable and plug, if damaged, should only be
replaced with genuine Evolution replacement
parts and be fitted by a competent technician.
• Ensure that the cutting head is in the
down position.
• Ensure that the carriage slide is in its most
forward position and locked. (Fig. 17)
From the motor the mains cable should be routed
through the front cable guide and then be routed
rearwards (Fig. 18).
The cable should be inserted into the rear
cable guide/clamp. Ensure the Cable Grip
Component is inside the cable guide when the
cable passes through.
This guide/clamp should then be fastened
to the rear sliding carriage cross piece (right
hand side) using the self tapping cap screw
(included). (Fig. 19)
Note: The cable should not be tight anywhere
along its length. (Fig. 20)
Raise and lower the cutting head several times
and also operate the sliding carriage. Check
that the cable does not become entangled
with any other parts of the machine. Check
also that the cable is not stretched during any
of the operating procedures. To secure the
cable, secure the cable using the cable clip.
