incomplete cut or when releasing the switch
before the saw head is completely in the
down position. The braking action of the saw
may cause the saw head to be suddenly pulled
downward, causing a risk of injury.
NOTE: The above warning applies only for
mitre saws with a brake system.
BLADE SAFETY
WARNING: Rotating saw blades are
extremely dangerous and can cause serious
injury and amputation. Always keep fingers
and hands at least 150mm (6") away from
the blade at all times. Never attempt to
retrieve sawn material until the cutting
head is in the raised position, the guard is
fully closed and the saw blade has stopped
rotating. Only use saw blades that are
recommended by the manufacturer and
as detailed in this manual and that comply
with the requirements of EN 847-1.
• Only use genuine Evolution blades rated for
this machine.
• Do not use saw blades that are damaged or
deformed as they could shatter and cause
serious injury to the operator
or bystanders.
• If the table insert becomes damaged or worn
it must be replaced with an identical one
available from the manufacturer.
HEALTH ADVICE
(2.7)
WARNING: If you suspect that paint on
surfaces in your home contains lead seek
professional advice. Lead based paints should
only be removed by a professional and you
should not attempt to remove it yourself.
Once the dust has been deposited on
surfaces, hand to mouth contact can result
in the ingestion of lead. Exposure to even
low levels of lead can cause irreversible brain
and nervous system damage. The young and
unborn children are particularly vulnerable.
WARNING: Some wood and wood type
(2.8)
products, especially MDF (Medium Density
Fibreboard), can produce dust that may be
hazardous to your health. We recommend
the use of an approved face mask with
replaceable filters when using this machine, in
addition to using the dust extraction facility.

to reduce the risk of induced hearing loss.
Eye protection should be worn in order to
prevent the possibility of the loss of sight
from ejected chippings.
Respiratory protection is also advised as some
wood and wood type products especially MDF
(Medium Density Fibreboard) can produce
dust that can be hazardous to your health. We
r
ecommend the use of an approved face mask
with replaceable filters when using this machine
in addition to using the dust extraction facility.
Gloves should be worn when handling blades
or rough material. Heat resistant gloves should
be worn when handling metallic materials
which may be hot. It is recommended that saw
blades should be carried in a holder wherever
practicable. It is not advisable to wear gloves
when operating the mitre saw.
SAFE OPERATION
(3.7)
Always ensure that you have selected the correct
saw blade for the material being cut. Do not use
this mitre saw to cut materials other than those
specified in this Instruction Manual.
When transporting a mitre saw ensure that the
cutting head is locked in the 90° down position
(if a sliding mitre saw ensure that the slide bars are
locked). Lift the machine by gripping the outer
edges of the base with both hands (if a sliding
mitre saw, transport using the handles provided).
Under no circumstances shall the machine be
lifted or transported using the retractable guard
or any part of its operating mechanism.
Bystanders and other colleagues must be kept
at a safe distance from this saw. Cut debris can,
in some circumstances, be ejected forcibly
from the machine, posing a safety hazard to
people standing nearby.
Before each use check the operation of the
retractable guard and its operating mechanism
ensuring that there is no damage, and that all
moving parts operate smoothly and correctly.
Keep the work bench and floor area clear of all
debris including sawdust, chips and off-cuts.
Always check and ensure that the speed
marked on the saw blade is at least equal to
the no load speed marked on the mitre saw.
