Such preventative safety measures reduce the
risk of starting the power tool accidentally.
d) Store idle power tools out of the reach of
children and do not allow persons unfamiliar
with the power tool or these Instructions
to operate the power tool. Power tools are
dangerous in the hands of untrained users.
e) Maintain power tools. Check for
misalignment or binding of moving parts,
breakage of moving parts, and any other
condition that may affect the power tools
operation. If damaged, have the power
tool repaired before use. Many accidents are
caused by poorly maintained power tools.
f) Keep cutting tools sharp and clean.
Properly maintained cutting tools with sharp
cutting edges are less likely to bind and are
easier to control.
g) Use the power tool, accessories and
tool bits, etc. in accordance with these
instructions, taking into account the
working conditions and the work to
be performed. Use of the power tool for
operations different from those intended could
result in a hazardous situation.
5) General Power Tool Safety Warnings
(2.6)
[Service].
a) Have your power tool serviced by a
qualified repair person using only identical
replacement parts. This will ensure that the
safety of the power tool is maintained.
HEALTH ADVISE
(2.7)
WARNING: When using this machine, dust
particles may be produced. In some instances,
depending on the materials you are working
with, this dust can be particularly harmful. If you
suspect that paint on the surface of material
you wish to cut contains lead, seek professional
advise. 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. You are advised to consider the risks
www.evolutionpowertools.com
associated with the materials you are working
with and to reduce the risk of exposure. As
some materials 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.
You should always:
• Work in a well-ventilated area.
• Work with approved safety equipment, such
as dust masks that are specially designed to
filter microscopic particles.
WARNING: The operation of any power
(2.8)
tool can result in foreign objects being thrown
towards your eyes, which could result in severe
eye damage. Before beginning power tool
operation, always wear safety goggles or safety
glasses with side shield or a full face shield
where necessary.
ADDITIONAL SAFETY
(3.0)
INSTRUCTIONS
a) DANGER: Keep hands away from
(3.1)
cutting area and the blade. Keep your
second hand on auxiliary handle, or motor
housing. If both hands are holding the saw,
they cannot be cut by the blade.
b) Do not reach underneath the workpiece.
The guard cannot protect you from the blade
below the workpiece.
c) Adjust the cutting depth to the thickness
of the workpiece. Less than a full tooth of
the blade teeth should be visible below the
workpiece.
d) Never hold piece being cut in your hands
or across your leg. Secure the workpiece to
a stable platform. It is important to support
the work properly to minimize body exposure,
blade binding, or loss of control.
e) Hold power tool by insulated gripping
surfaces when performing an operation
where the cutting tool may contact hidden
wiring or its own cord. Contact with a "live"
wire will also make exposed metal parts of the
power tool "live" and shock the operator.
f) When ripping, always use a rip fence or
straight edge guide. This improves the cut
accuracy of cut and reduces the chance of blade
binding.
