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.
• Use only a saw blade diameter in accordance
with the markings on the saw and information
about the bore diameter and the maximum kerf
of the saw blade.
• Use additional supports if needed to ensure the
stability of the workpiece.
• Avoid overheating the saw blade tips and, if
cutting plastics is permitted, avoid melting the
plastic.
• Ensure that the mitre saw is always stable
and secure (e.g. fixed to a bench)
• Identify the correct saw blade to be used for the
material to be cut.
HEALTH ADVICE
(2.7)
WARNING: If you suspect that paint on surfaces
in your home 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.
WARNING: Some wood and wood type
(2.8)
products, especially MDF (Medium Density
Fibreboard), 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, in addition to
using the dust extraction facility.
PERSONAL PROTECTIVE
(3.6)
EQUIPMENT (PPE)
Hearing protection should be worn in order
to reduce the risk of induced hearing loss.
Eye protection should be worn in order to
prevent the possibility of the loss of sight from
ejected chippings.
Respiratory protection is also advised as some
wood and wood type products especially MDF
(Medium Density Fibreboard) can produce dust that
can be hazardous to your health. We
the use of an approved face mask with replaceable
filters when using this machine in addition to using
the dust extraction facility.
Gloves should be worn when handling blades or
rough material. Heat resistant gloves should be
worn when handling metallic materials which may
be hot. It is recommended that saw blades should
be carried in a holder wherever practicable. It is
not advisable to wear gloves when operating the
mitre saw.
SAFE OPERATION
(3.7)
Always ensure that you have selected the correct
saw blade for the material being cut. Do not use
this mitre saw to cut materials other than those
specified in this Instruction Manual.
When transporting a mitre saw ensure that the
cutting head is locked in the 90° down position
(if a sliding mitre saw ensure that the slide bars are
locked). Lift the machine by gripping the outer
edges of the base with both hands (if a sliding mitre
saw, transport using the handles provided). Under
no circumstances shall the machine be lifted or
transported using the retractable guard
or any part of its operating mechanism.
Bystanders and other colleagues must be kept at
a safe distance from this saw. Cut debris can, in
some circumstances, be ejected forcibly from the
machine, posing a safety hazard to people standing
nearby.
Before each use check the operation of the
retractable guard and its operating mechanism
ensuring that there is no damage, and that all
moving parts operate smoothly and correctly.
Keep the work bench and floor area clear of all
debris including sawdust, chips and off-cuts.
Always check and ensure that the speed marked on
the saw blade is at least equal to the no load speed
marked on the mitre saw. Under no circumstances
shall a saw blade be used that is marked with a
speed that is less than the no-load speed marked
on the mitre saw.
