Installing Or Removing A Blade; Checking & Adjusting; Bevel Angles; Bevel Stop Adjustment - Evolution R185SMS Instructions Originales

Note: The cutting head will automatically rise to
the upper position once it is released from the
locked down position.
• It will automatically lock in the upper position.
If release is difficult:
• Gently rock the cutting head up and down.
• At the same time twist the Head Latching Pin
clockwise and pull outwards.
Note: We recommend that when the machine is
not in use the cutting head is locked in its down
position with the latching pin fully engaged in
the open half socket which is machined into the
cutting head upper surface near to the pivot point.
(Fig. 22).

INSTALLING OR REMOVING A BLADE

WARNING: Only carry out this operation with the
machine disconnected from the mains supply.
WARNING: Only use genuine Evolution blades
or those blades specifically recommended by
Evolution Power Tools and which are designed for
this machine. Ensure that the maximum speed of
the blade is higher than the speed of the motor.
Note: It is recommended that the operator
considers wearing protective gloves when
handling the blade during installation or when
changing the blade.
Ensure the cutting head is in its upper position.
(Fig. 23)
• Press the lower blade guard locking trigger
(Step 1) and rotate the lower blade guard
(Step 2) up and into the upper blade guard.
Note: Lowering the cutting head slightly will
allow the lower blade guard to rotate fully into
the upper blade guard giving maximum access
for the operator.
• Press the black arbor lock button to lock the
arbor. (Fig. 24)
• Using the supplied Hex Key, release the flange
bolt and outer blade flange and the blade from
the arbor. (Fig. 25)
Note: The arbor screw has a LH thread.
Turn clockwise to loosen. Turn counter clockwise
to tighten.

Ensure that the blade and blade flanges are clean
and free from any contamination.
• The inner blade flange should be left in place,
but if it is removed for cleaning it must be
replaced the same way round as it was removed
from the machine.
WARNING: To safely install Evolution Multipurpose
blades the inner blade flange must be installed with
the 25.4mm boss facing to the outside. (Fig. 26a)
Install the new blade. Make sure the rotation arrow
on the blade matches the clockwise rotation arrow
on the upper guard.
Note: The blade teeth should always point
downward at the front of the saw.
• Install the outer blade flange
and flange bolt. (Fig. 26b)
• Lock the arbor and tighten the arbor screw using
moderate force, but do not overtighten.
• Ensure the Hex Key is removed and the arbor
lock has released before proceeding.
• Ensure the blade guard is fully functional before
using the machine.
CHECKING AND ADJUSTING
OF THE PRECISION ANGLES
Note: This machine has been accurately set up
and adjusted at the factory. If it is suspected that
some of the precision angles have been lost (due
perhaps to normal workshop attrition) they can be
reset by following the procedure outlined below.
Note: Several checks/adjustments are possible
on this machine. The operator will require a set
square (not supplied) to carry out these checks
and adjustments.
WARNING: Checks/adjustments must only be
conducted with the machine disconnected from
the power supply.
BEVEL ANGLES (0˚ & 45˚)
0˚ Bevel Stop Adjustment
Ensure that the cutting head is in the locked
down position with the latching pin fully engaged
in its socket.
Ensure that the cutting head is upright, against its
stop and the bevel pointer is indicating 0˚ on the
scale. (Fig. 27)
