Mounting / Removing TCT Saw Blades
Ensure the machine is switched off and disconnect power cord from power source. Remove the chip collection cover from the machine by undoing the two knurled knobs on the back. Using the supplied Allen Wrench, undo the M8 bolt that secures the blade and remove the blade flange. Note: Use spindle lock. Replace blade, making sure that the arrow for the direction of rotation of the blade matches that of the machine then tighten the M8 bolt with the flange in the correct position. Note: Check that the spindle lock is fully released by manually rotating the blade before use.
Adjustment Of The Cutting Depth
Release the handle to adjust to the required cutting depth. Ensure that the blade protrudes a maximum of 5/8" (4mm) through the material being cut. Tighten the handle fully to lock in position.
Line Of Cut Guide Slots
Guide slots are provided at the front of the saw base. One slot is used to follow a line when making a 90-degree cut. The other slot is used to follow a line when making a 45-degree cut.
Operating Advice
Always clamp the work piece on a rigid support such as a bench or saw horses where possible. This tool is equipped with a safety start feature - to start the tool, you must first push in the switch on the side of the handle with your thumb - you can then depress the main trigger switch to power the motor. Do not force the tool - let the speed of the saw blade do the work. Cutting performance will not improve by applying more pressure on the tool and blade life will be reduced. When using the parallel guide, ensure that it is parallel with the blade and not the base of the tool, as otherwise the blade and motor could become damaged. To set the guide, loosen the retaining screw, and slide it up snugly against the side of the work piece. Retighten the screw to secure it in the desired position. Place front edge of saw squarely on work before starting motor. When starting a cut, sight the cutting line with the line of cut guide taking care to introduce the blade to the material slowly, so as not to damage its teeth. Use both hands to move the saw forward through the work piece. If the tool overload protection device is activated, allow the motor to cool and then press the reset button to continue operation.
Chip Collection
This tool is provided with a chip collector compartment. When the chips accumulate up to the see-through window, remove the cover, clean out the cover, then replace it, and tighten the knobs. Notice: The metal chips inside the cover may be very hot and sharp - do not touch with bare hands.
Dust Extraction
To allow the fitting of a dust extractor pipe, remove the small black cover located at the top left of the chip collection cover. Replace the cover when the dust extractor is not in use.
Maintenance And Troubleshooting
Keep tool, cord, and carry case clean and free from chips. Avoid using cleaning products, which include benzene, trichloroethelene, chloride, and ammonia as these can damage plastic parts. In case of electrical or mechanical malfunction, immediately switch off the tool and disconnect the plug. Excessive sparking may indicate the presence of dirt in the motor or worn out carbon brushes. Check for wear and replace when they reach 1/4" (6mm). For all other service please contact our technical Helpline 1-866-EVO-TOOL.
