INSERTING THE CARRIAGE SLIDE
IMPORTANT: If for any reason (transit
damage, unpacking error, operator mistake,
etc.) the locating lugs at the tip of the
carriage slide arms have been 'tripped' , the
sliding carriage cannot be fitted into the
bevel neck or onto the cutting head.
The locating lugs (Fig.11) must be reset,
if either or both have been 'tripped'
prematurely.
RESETTING THE LOCATING LUGS
• Gently push the protruding lug into the
Carriage arm.
• Gently ease the locating lug deployment
plunger forward by using a flat bladed
screwdriver (not supplied) as a lever. (Fig. 12)
The carriage slides two (2) arms should be
inserted through the two linear bearings
contained within the bevel neck.
The carriage slide should be inserted from the
back ensuring that the 'Evolution' logo is the
correct way up. (Fig. 9)
• Slide the sliding carriage arms through
the bevel neck for approximately half of
their length.
• Screw the carriage slide locking screw into
the threaded hole above the right hand arm
of the carriage slide. (Fig. 10)
Note: Ensure that the anti-vibration spring is
fitted underneath the hand knob before fitting
the locking screw into its service position.
• Tighten the locking screw to lock the sliding
carriage into the desired position.
ATTACHING THE CUTTING HEAD
• Align the cutting head with the two (2)
sliding carriage arms. (Fig. 13a)
• Push the cutting head onto the Carriage
arms firmly until the 'click' of the Locating
Lugs deploying is heard. (Fig. 13b)
Note: The deployed locating lugs must be
fully visible when viewed from the side of the
cutting head. (Figs. 14a, 14b, 14c)
The Locating Lugs are coloured green to make
identification easy.
FITTING THE SLIDE RAIL COVER:
Note: Make sure the cutting head is in the
down right position before proceeding.
• Remove Slide Locking Screw and spring
(Fig. 15).
• With the saw's Cutting Head facing towards
you, align the Slide Rail Cover's cut out
channel over the right rail.
• Insert the single tab into the recess between
the two rails on the rear of the Cutting Head.
• Lower the Slide Rail Cover onto the rails
and click the two rear tabs into place on
the rear Carry Handle.
• Re-fit the Slide Locking Screw and spring.
THE MACHINE TABLE EXTENSIONS (Fig. 16)
Note: Two (2) machine table extension pieces
are provided with this machine. They are
'handed' , one being for the right hand side, and
one for the left hand side.
TO FIT THE TABLE EXTENSIONS:
• Carefully examine the table extension pieces
to determine which is for the right hand side
and which is for the left hand side.
• Remove the socket headed screws (Fig. 17)
from the table using the hex key provided.
• Position the relevant Extension piece onto
the table and secure it into its service
position using the socket headed screws.
• Repeat for the second Extension piece.
ROUTING THE POWER CABLE
WARNING: This machine is equipped with
a mains cable and a moulded plug which
satisfies the regulations of the receiving
country. This cable and plug, if damaged,
should only be replaced with genuine
Evolution replacement parts and be fitted
by a competent technician.
• Ensure that the cutting head is in the
down position.
• Ensure that the carriage slide is in its most
forward position and locked. (Fig. 18)
From the motor the mains cable should be
routed through the front cable guide and then
be routed rearwards (Fig. 19).
The cable should be inserted into the rear
cable guide/clamp. Ensure the Cable Grip
Component is inside the cable guide when the
cable passes through.
This guide/clamp should then be fastened
to the rear sliding carriage cross piece (right
hand side) using the self tapping cap screw
(included). (Fig. 20)
Note: The cable should not be tight anywhere
along its length. (Fig. 21)
Raise and lower the cutting head several times
and also operate the sliding carriage. Check
that the cable does not become entangled
with any other parts of the machine. Check
also that the cable is not stretched during any
