PERMANENTLY MOUNTING THE MITRE SAW
Fig. 1
To reduce the risk of injury from unexpected saw movement,
place the saw in the desired location either on a workbench
1) Hex headed bolt
or other suitable machine stand. The base of the saw has four
2) Spring washer
mounting holes through which suitable bolts (not supplied)
3) Flat washer
can be placed to secure the miter saw. If the saw is to be used
4) Mitre saw base
in one location, permanently fasten it to the workbench using
5) Workbench
appropriate fastenings (not supplied). Use locking washers and
6) Flat washer
nuts on the underside of the workbench. (Fig. 1)
7) Spring washer
8) Hex nut
• To avoid injury from flying debris, position the saw so
9) Lock nut
that other people or bystanders cannot stand too close
(or behind) it.
• Locate the saw on a firm, level surface where there is plenty
of room for handling and properly supporting the workpiece.
• Support the saw so the machine table is level and the saw
does not rock.
• Bolt or clamp the saw securely to its support stand or
workbench.
FOR PORTABLE USE:
• Mount the saw on a 18mm thick piece of plywood or
Fig. 2
MDF (800mm x 500mm (31-1/2" x 19-7/10") min size
recommended) using appropriate fastenings (not supplied).
• It may be necessary to countersink the washers, nuts, etc. to
the underside of the plywood or MDF mounting board to
avoid an uneven work surface.
• Use G-clamps to attach the mounting board to the work
surface. (Fig. 2)
NOTE: Some machines are fitted with a rear stabilizing arm
found just below the Bevel Pivot.
If so fitted, this arm should be deployed/withdrawn from the
base, particularly if the machine is to be used free standing
Fig. 3
on a work bench. (Fig. 3). This arm will provide extra stability
to prevent the machine from toppling in the event of sudden
release of the Cutting Head.

HOLD DOWN CLAMP
(Fig. 4)
Two sockets (one either side) are incorporated into the rear of
the machines fence. These sockets are for positioning the Hold
Down Clamp.
• Fit the clamp to the retaining socket that best suits the
cutting application, ensuring that it is fully pushed down.
• Tighten the fence thumbscrew to lock the pillar of the clamp
into the fence socket.
• Place the workpiece to be cut onto the saw table, against the
fence and in the desired position.
• Adjust the clamp using the thumbscrews and hand-wheel so
that it securely holds the workpiece to the saw table.
Conduct a 'dry run' with the power disconnected. Ensure that the
Hold Down Clamp does not interfere with the path of the blade, or
with the path of any other part of the Cutting Head as it is lowered
THE LASER
This machine is equipped with a Laser Cutting Guide. This allows
the operator to preview the path of the blade through the
workpiece. The ON/OFF switch for the Laser Guide is positioned
on the right hand side of the machine, below the transmission
casing. (Fig 5)
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 workpieces
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.
