WARNING READ ALL SAFETY
WARNINGS AND ALL INSTRUCTIONS.
FAILURE TO FOLLOW THE WARNINGS
AND INSTRUCTIONS MAY RESULT
IN ELECTRIC SHOCK, FIRE AND/OR
SERIOUS INJURY.
SAVE ALL WARNINGS AND INSTRUCTIONS FOR
FUTURE REFERENCE.
The term "power tool" in the warnings refers to your
mains-operated (corded) power tool or battery-operated
(cordless) power tool.
1) Work Area Safety
a) Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered or dark
areas invite accidents.
b) Do not operate power tools in explosive atmospheres,
such as in the presence of flammable liquids, gases or
dust. Power tools create sparks which may ignite the dust
or fumes.
c) Keep children and bystanders away while operating a
power tool. Distractions can cause you to lose control.
2) Electrical Safety
a) Power tool plugs must match the outlet. Never modify the
plug in any way. Do not use any adapter plugs with earthed
(grounded) power tools. Unmodified plugs and matching
outlets will reduce risk of electric shock.
b) Avoid body contact with earthed or grounded surfaces,
such as pipes, radiators, ranges and refrigerators. There is
an increased risk of electric shock if your body is earthed
or grounded.
c) Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions. Water
entering a power tool will increase the risk of electric shock.
d) Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord for carrying,
pulling or unplugging the power tool. Keep cord away from
heat, oil, sharp edges or moving parts. Damaged or entangled
cords increase the risk of electric shock.
e) When operating a power tool outdoors, use an extension
cord suitable for outdoor use. Use of a cord suitable for
outdoor use reduces the risk of electric shock.
f) If operating a power tool in a damp location is unavoidable,
use a residual current device (RCD) protected supply. Use of
an RCD reduces the risk of electric shock.
3) Personal Safety
a) Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use common
sense when operating a power tool. Do not use a power tool
while you are tired or under the influence of drugs, alcohol or
medication. A moment of inattention while operating power
tools may result in serious personal injury.
b) Use personal protective equipment. Always wear eye

protection. Protective equipment such as dust mask, non-
skid safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing protection used for
appropriate conditions will reduce personal injuries.
c) Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure the switch is in
the off-position before connecting to power source and/or
battery pack, picking up or carrying the tool. Carrying power
tools with your finger on the switch or energising power
tools that have the switch on invites accidents.
d) Remove any adjusting key or wrench before turning the
power tool on. A wrench or a key left attached to a rotating
part of the power tool may result in personal injury.
e) Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at
all times. This enables better control of the power tool in
unexpected situations.
f) Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewellery.
Keep your hair, clothing and gloves away from moving parts.
Loose clothes, jewellery or long hair can be caught in moving
parts.
g) If devices are provided for the connection of dust extraction
and collection facilities, ensure these are connected and
properly used. Use of dust collection can reduce dust-related
hazards.
4) Power Tool Use & Care
a) Do not force the power tool. Use the correct power tool
for your application. The correct power tool will do the job
better and safer at the rate for which it was designed.
b) Do not use the power tool if the switch does not turn it
on and off. Any power tool that cannot be controlled with the
switch is dangerous and must be repaired.
c) Disconnect the plug from the power source and/or
the battery pack from the power tool before making any
adjustments, changing accessories, or storing power tools.
Such preventive 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 parts and any other condition
that may affect the power tool's 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) Service
a) Have your tool repaired by a qualified person. This electric
tool complies with the relevant safety rules. Repairs should
only be carried out by qualified persons using original spare
parts, otherwise this may result in considerable danger to
the user.
b) When servicing a tool, use only genuine Evolution
replacement parts. Follow instructions in the Maintenance
section of this manual. Use of unauthorized parts or failure
to follow Maintenance Instructions may create a risk of
electric shock or injury.

PRECAUTIONS ON USING FURY TWIN
GB
1. DANGER: Keep hands away from 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.
2. Do not reach underneath the work. The guard cannot
protect you from the blade below the work. Do not attempt
to remove cut material when blade is moving.
3. Never hold piece being cut in your hands or across your
leg. It is important to support the work properly to minimize
body exposure, blade jamming, or loss of control.
4. Always check the blades before starting the machine. If it
is cracked, broken or bent, do not use it. Carefully start the
machine to check for other abnormalities.
5. Hold the 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.
6. Always use blades with correct size and shape
(diamond versus round) of arbour holes. Blades that
do not match the mounting hardware of the saw will run
eccentrically, causing loss of control.
7. Start working only when maximum rotation speed is
reached.
8. Excessive force overloads the motor and reduces working
efficiency and service life.
9. Check the operation and condition of the guard spring. If
the guard and the spring are not operating properly, the must
be serviced before use.
10. Always observe that the lower guard is covering the
blade before placing the saw down on bench or floor.
An unprotected, coasting blade will cut whatever is in its
path. Be aware of the time it takes for the blade to stop after
switch is released.
11. Never attach any tool except the blades or cutting wheel
as specified by the manufacturer. Do not operate the cutter
while applying water.
12. Never use damaged or incorrect blade washers or bolt.
The blade washers and bolt were specially designed for your
saw, for optimum performance and safety of operation.
13. Do not use this machine to cut asbestos.
14. OVERLOAD LIMITER - It protects the machine of the
excess loads. To put back the machine to its initial state,
press on the button "reset" which is behind the device.
CAUTION! Always unplug the disc cutter before changing
blades, servicing, cleaning or adjusting the saw.
