Guard Strip should be checked at regular
intervals for damage or abrasion caused by 'wear
and tear' . Replace the strip if any damage or
significant wear is apparent.
Replacement strips are available. Consult
your supplier or contact Evolution using the
appropriate helpline.
The Replaceable Splinter Guard Strip supplied
is a direct substitution to the fitted original.
Simply pull the old strip gently from the track
and replace with the new strip.
Note: If a new strip is fitted, the Saw to Track
matching process must be repeated.
EVOLUTION TRACK CLAMPS
(SOLD SEPARATELY)
The Evolution Speed Clamp (Fig. 22)
purpose designed to work with the Evolution
Cutting Track.
Note: Extra clamps can be purchased from
Evolution Power Tools or your local supplier.
Evolution clamps fit into and can slide along
the 'T' slots found on the under surface of the
alloy extrusions. (Fig. 23)
This enables the operator to locate the clamps
(one is required at each end of the track) in
positions which afford the maximum security,
and rigidity of the Cutting Track to the
workpiece.
TRACK POSITIONING & CLAMPING

this equipment is used.
WARNING: If this equipment is to be used on a
construction site, the operator should consult the
relevant person who has responsibility for Health
and Safety for further 'on site' specific safety
requirements or instructions.
• Mark out clearly the workpiece and particularly
the 'line of cut' along which the saw blade is
required to travel.
• Assemble the Cutting Track with as many
sections as required to span the workpiece
including an allowance for the overhang
needed.
• Using Evolution Speed Clamps (the preferred
option) or suitable 'G' clamps position the Track
on the workpiece and secure by tightening
the clamps.

• Ensure that the edge of the Splinter Guard
Strip runs exactly along the marked out
cutting line.
WARNING: The Cutting Track must overhang
the workpiece at the 'lead in' edge.
The lower blade guard will need to be
retracted manually and pivot upwards into the
upper blade guard as the circular saw is placed
on the track.
In this position the blade is

PERFORMING A CUT
Performing a cut using a cutting track is very
is similar to ordinary cutting with a circular saw.
All of the safety procedures and protocols that
apply to the use of a circular saw will also apply
when such a saw is used in conjunction with a
cross cutting track.
The following guidelines, though not
comprehensive offer some general advice:
• Carry out a safety check to ensure that the
Cutting Track is securely fastened to the
workpiece, and that the workpiece itself is
secure and cannot move during a cut.
• Check to ensure that there are no
obstructions under the workpiece that
could inhibit or impede the progress of the
saw blade or be damaged by the saw blade.
• Ensure that the mains cable is routed in such
a way that it does not pose a trip (or any
other form) hazard. Check particularly that
the mains cable cannot come into contact
with the spinning blade of the saw.
• The operator should ensure that when they
are pushing the saw along the track they can
maintain a sure footing, good balance and
complete control at all times throughout the
cut. Particular caution should be exercised as
the saw blade exits the workpiece.
WARNING: Particularly if working at height
(other circumstances may also apply) ensure
that any cut material cannot fall away and
possibly injure a bystander. The operator may
have to consider some way of containing or
catching such cut material. Consult the person
responsible for site safety for specific guidance.
Note: The operator should consider
performing a practice run with the saw
disconnected from the mains supply to
confirm that the cutting procedure will be
