service position.
• Loosen the knurled locking nut. (Fig. 28b)
• Adjust the thumb - screw (Fig. 28c)
to limit the cutting heads travel to the
required depth.
• Once set to the desired depth, tighten the
knurled locking nut (Fig.28b) against the
retaining bracket to lock the depth stop and
ensure that there is no movement.
• When cutting is complete either re-adjust
the depth stop or return the 'stop plate' to
its storage position.
• Check that the Cutting can be locked in the
down position by the head latching pin.
THE SLIDING UPPER
FENCE SECTION
(Fig. 29)
The Left Hand side of the machines Fence
has an adjustable Upper section. This
section can slide to the left by a maximum of
approximately 100mm.
Note: To prevent the Sliding Upper section
from being removed completely (and thus
possibly being lost) the Sliding Upper section
is 'captive' on the Lower Fence.
Adjustment may be necessary when certain
acute bevel or compound angles are selected
to provide clearance for the moving cutting
head and blade as a cut is made.
To adjust the sliding fence:
• Loosen the thumbscrew. (Fig. 30)
• Slide the upper section of the Fence
leftwards to the required position and
tighten the thumbscrew.
• Conduct a 'dry run' with the power off
to confirm that there is no interference
between moving parts as the cutting head
and blade are lowered to make a sliding cut.
MACHINE FENCE ALIGNMENT
The Fence must be aligned at 90˚ (square) to
a correctly installed blade. The Rotary table
must be set at '0˚' mitre angle.
The Fence is fastened to the table with three (3)
socket head Hex screws (Fig. 31), one (1) to the
left hand side and two (2) to the right hand side.
All three (3) are located through elongated slots
machined into the fence casting.
• Ensure that the cutting head is in the
locked down position with the latching pin
fully engaged.
• Place a set square on the table with one edge
against the Fence and the other edge against
the Blade (avoiding the TCT tips). (Fig. 32)
• If adjustment is necessary, loosen the three
(3) Fence adjustment screws using a Hex Key.
• Re-position the Fence in its elongated slots
until alignment is achieved.
• Securely tighten the socket head Hex screws.
Mitre Angle Pointer Adjustment
Note: There are dual mitre angle scales cast
into the front of the machines base. A small
pointer attached to the rotary table indicates
the angle selected.
If necessary, the pointer can be repositioned by
loosening its fastening screw using a #2 Phillips
screwdriver. Adjust as necessary, and then
securely tighten the fixing screw. (Fig. 33)
THE LASER
This machine is equipped with a laser cutting
guide. This allows the operator to preview the
path of the blade through the work-piece. The
ON/OFF switch for the laser Guide is positioned
on the top of the cutting head near the mains
cable entry point. (Fig. 40)
Avoid direct eye contact with the laser beam,
and do not use on material that could reflect
the laser beam.
WARNING: Do not stare directly at the laser
beam. A hazard may exist if you deliberately
stare into the beam. Please observe all of
the following safety rules.
• The laser beam must not be deliberately aimed
at personnel and must be prevented from
being directed towards the eyes of a person.
• Always ensure that the laser beam is used
only on work-pieces that have non-reflective
surfaces, i.e natural wood or matt surfaces etc.
• Never exchange the laser module assembly
for a different type or class of laser.
• Repairs to the laser module must only be
conducted by Evolution Power Tools or their
authorized agent.
Note: The laser Guide can be a very useful
facility, particularly when a large number of
work-pieces are to be cut.
However the laser Guide should not
be regarded as a substitute for good
conventional planning and marking out.
