the following general advice on safe operational
procedures and practices for the consideration
of the operator.
This advice cannot be exhaustive as Evolution
has no influence on the type of workshops or
working environments in which these machines
may be used.
We recommend that the operator seeks advice
from a competent authority or the workshop
supervisor if they are at unsure of any aspect of
using these machines.
It is important that routine safety checks are
carried out (at each time of usage) before the
operator uses the machine.
WARNING: These pre-use safety checks should
be carried out with the machine disconnected
from the mains power supply.
• Check that all safety guards are operating
correctly, and that all adjustment handles/
screws are securely tightened.
• Check that the blade is secure and installed
correctly. Also check that it is the correct
blade for the material being cut.
•
Check the integrity of the power cord.
• Whenever possible clamp the workpiece to a
rigid support structure such as a workbench,
saw horse or similar.
• The operator should always be aware of the
position and routing of the power cable.
PPE
(15)
• The operator should wear all relevant PPE
(Personal Protection Equipment) necessary
for the task ahead.
This could include safety glasses,,full face
mask, dust masks, safety shoes etc.
Note: All CCS series machines are equipped
with a cutting line debris blower. This directs
air from a motor driven fan towards the area to
the front of the blade, thus keeping the cutting
line relatively debris free. This feature will aid the
operator sight and follow the progress of the
saw blade along the cut, keeping any marking-
out lines visible.
WARNING: Any and all dust created is
potentially prejudicial to health.

Some materials can be particularly harmful, and the
operator should always wear a dust mask which is
suitable for the material being worked with.
Professional help and advice should be sought if
the operator is at all unsure about the potential
toxicity of the material to be cut.
WARNING: These machines must never be
used to cut Asbestos or any material that
contains, or is suspected to contain, Asbestos.
Consult/inform the relevant authorities,
and seek additional guidance if Asbestos
contamination is suspected.
ON/OFF TRIGGER SWITCH
(16)
Note: All machines destined for the European
and Australian market are equipped with a
'safety start' trigger switch to enhance operator
safety. (Fig.15)
To start the motor:
• Push in the safety lock button on the side of
the handle with your thumb.
• Depress the trigger switch.
To stop the motor:
• Release the trigger switch.
WARNING: The motor should never be started
with the saw blade in direct contact with any
surface of the workpiece.
Note: Machines destined for the North
American market are fitted with an ON/OFF
Trigger switch which does not incorporate a
'safety start' trigger switch.
WARNING:
If the saw is 'live' (LED Light 'ON'),
avoid unintentionally starting the motor when
picking up the machine from a workbench or
similar. Accidentally depressing the ON/OFF
Trigger switch (positioned in the main handle)
when picking up the machine from rest will
cause the motor to start.
