Repositioning The Rear Vise Jaw; Preparing To Make A Cut - Evolution evosaw355 Traduction D'original

The rear vise jaw can be removed from the machine's base and
repositioned. (Fig.9)
To reposition:
• Remove the M10 socket headed screw and the lever handled
locking screw and all washers that secure the rear vise jaw to
1
the machine's base.
• To remove the lever handled locking screw, pull the lever
upwards and hold against the spring while unscrewing the
locking screw from its service position using a flat bladed
screwdriver.
• Reposition the rear vise jaw; there are three (3) possible
positions available because of the six (6) threaded holes in
the machine's base.
• Replace lever handled locking screw and the socket headed
screw into their new service positions. Ensure that all
standard and locking washers are correctly positioned.

Repositioning the rear vise jaw to the rear-most position will
enable wider pieces of material to be cut than is possible with
the rear vise jaw in either of the more forward positions.
'V' Clamp Jaw (If supplied)
The 'V' Clamp Jaw slips over the moving front vise jaw (Fig. 10)
It should be used when cutting round material as it provides
greater clamping security. It may also be used with square
section material to position such material diagonally in the vise.

For speed and convenience, the vise operating mechanism is
equipped with a 'split nut' . Using this enables rapid adjustment
of the front vise jaw.
• Lift the 'split nut' . (Fig. 11a)
• Slide the front jaw to the required position.
• Return the 'split nut' to its service position. (Fig 11b)
wArNiNg: The 'split nut' must be returned to its service position
and be fully engaged with the threads on the long vise screw.
Pulling back slightly on the vise handle just before the vise jaw
contacts the workpiece will help the correct seating of the 'split
nut. Using this machine without the 'split nut' fully engaged with
the vise screw threads is dangerous and must not be attempted.
• Tighten the vise to secure the workpiece.
• Check the security of the workpiece before attempting a cut.

PrEPAriNg TO MAKE A CuT

Do not overreach. Keep good footing and balance. Stand
to one side so that your face and body are out of line
of a possible kickback.
Caution: The minimum cut off piece must be 8mm (5/16") or
greater in length to avoid the piece falling through the blade
slot and causing any potential danger. (Fig 12)
wArNiNg: Freehand cutting is a major cause of accidents and
should not be attempted.
• Ensure that the workpiece is firmly secured in the vise.
• The machine's base should be clean and free from any swarf or
sawdust etc. before the workpiece is clamped into position.
• Ensure that the 'cut-off' material is free to move sideways away
from the blade when the cut is completed. Ensure that the 'cut-off'
piece cannot become 'jammed' in any other part of the machine.
• Do not use this saw to cut small pieces. If the workpiece
being cut would cause your hand or fingers to be within
150mm of the saw blade, the workpiece is too small.
Angles should be clamped in an inverted position so that the
point of the section is uppermost. (<5.2)
