Mitre Cutting; Bevel Cutting - Evolution R185SMS Instructions Originales

Position the work-piece on the table and
against the fence and secure with clamp(s) as
appropriate.
• Loosen the slide lock screw.
• Grasp the Cutting Handle and pull the cutting
head forward until the arbor (centre of saw
blade) is over the front edge of the work-piece.
(Fig. 51)
• Operate the ON/OFF motor trigger switch and
allow the saw blade to reach full speed.
• Press the lower blade guard locking trigger for
cutting head release.
• Push the Cutting Handle all the way down and
cut through the leading edge of the work-piece.
• Gently push the cutting handle rearwards
towards the fence completing the cut.
• Always push the cutting head to the full rear
position during each cut. (Fig. 52)
• When the cut has been completed, release the
trigger switch and allow the blade to come to a
complete stop.
• Allow the cutting head to rise to its upper
position, with the lower blade guard completely
covering the blade teeth, and the cutting head
locked in the upper position, before releasing
the Cutting Handle.
WARNING: Never pull the cutting head and
spinning blade towards you when making a
sliding cut. The blade may try to climb up on top
of the work-piece, causing the cutting head to
'Kickback' forcefully.
The cutting head should always be positioned
as outlined above before attempting to make a
sliding cut. When the cutting head is in the correct
position above the work-piece it can be lowered
and pushed rearwards towards the fence to
complete the cut.

MITRE CUTTING

(Fig. 53)
The rotary table of this machine can be turned
through 50˚ to the left or right from the normal
cross-cut (0˚) position.
Positive stops are provided at 45˚, 30˚, 22.5˚ and 15˚
to both the right hand and left hand sides.
Mitre Cutting is possible with or without the sliding
carriage system being deployed.
• Loosen the mitre handle locking knob (Fig. 54)
by turning the locking knob anti-clockwise.
• Pull up the positive stop locking lever. (Fig. 55)

• Turn the rotary table to the desired angle.
Note: A protractor scale is incorporated into the
machines base to aid setting.
• Tighten the mitre handle locking knob when the
angle is achieved.
Note: It is good practice to tighten the Mitre
Locking Knob even when a positive stop is
selected and the Positive Stop Locking Lever is
positively engaged.
BEVEL CUTTING BY
TILTING THE CUTTING HEAD
A bevel cut (Fig. 56) is made with the rotary table
set at 0˚ mitre angle.
Note: It may be necessary to adjust the upper
section of the sliding fence to provide clearance
for the moving cutting head. (Fig. 34-35)
The cutting head can be tilted from the normal 0˚
(perpendicular position) to a maximum angle of
45˚ from the perpendicular to the left hand side
only. Bevel cutting is possible with or without the
sliding carriage system being deployed.
Note: A positive stop is provided at 33.9˚ Bevel
angle. This is accessed by deploying (pushing
inwards) the 33.9˚ Bevel Pin. (Fig. 57) Normally
the Bevel Pin should be left in the un-deployed
(pulled out) position.
To tilt the cutting head to the left:
• Loosen the bevel lock handle. (Fig. 58)
• Tilt the cutting head to the required angle. A
protractor scale is provided as an aid to setting.
(Fig 59)
• Tighten the bevel lock handle when the
desired angle has been selected.
• Stand to the left side of the Cutting Handle
when making a cut.
When cutting is completed:
• Release the ON/OFF trigger switch to switch off
the motor, but keep your hands in position.
• Allow the blade to come to a complete stop.
• Allow the cutting head has to rise to its
upper position, with the lower blade guard
completely deployed and covering the blade
before removing yours hand(s).
• Return the cutting head to the
perpendicular position.
