IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

To reduce the risk of electric shock, this equipment is fitted with an approved cord and plug for its intended country of use. Do not change the cord or plug in any way.

GENERAL SAFETY RULES

Read and understand all instructions before

operating this product. Failure to follow all

instructions listed below, may result in electric shock, fire and / or serious personal injury.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTION FOR FUTURE REFERENCE.

WARNING! When using electric tools basic safety precautions should always be followed to reduce the risk of fire, electric shock and personal injury including the following:

Read all these instructions before attempting to operate this product and save these instructions.

The term “power tool” in the warnings refers to your mainsoperated (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.

d) Keep the floor area around the machine level, well maintained and free of loose materials e.g. chips and cut-offs.

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, nonskid safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing protection used for appropriate conditions will reduce the risk of personal injuries.

c) Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure the machine 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

4 www.evolutionproject.com

FURY TWIN 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 if used 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 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.

HEALTH ADVICE

HEALTH ADVISE GB

WARNING!

When drilling, sanding, sawing or grinding, dust particles will be produced. In some instances, depending on the materials you are working with, this dust can be particularly harmful to you (e.g. lead from old gloss paint).You are advised to consider the risks associated with the materials you are working with and to reduce the risk of exposure.

You should:

-Work in a well-ventilated area.

-Work with approved safety equipment, such as dust masks that are specially designed to filter microscopic particles.

GB a) DANGER: Keep hands away from cutting area and the blade. Keep your second hand on the auxiliary handle, or motor housing. If both hands are holding the saw, they cannot be cut by the blade.

b) Do not reach underneath the workpiece. The guard cannot protect you from the blade below the workpiece.

c) Adjust the cutting depth to the thickness of the workpiece.

Less than a full tooth of the blade teeth should be visible below the workpiece. d) Never hold piece being cut in your hands or across your leg. Secure the workpiece to a stable platform. It is important to support the work properly to minimize body exposure, blade binding, or loss of control.

e) Hold 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.

f) When ripping always use a rip fence or straight edge guide.

This improves the accuracy of cut and reduces the chance of blade binding.

g) Always use blades with correct size and shape (diamond versus round) of arbor holes. Blades that do not match the mounting hardware of the saw will run eccentrically, causing loss of control.

h) 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.

Further safety instructions for all saws

Causes and operator prevention of kickback:

Kickback is a sudden reaction to a pinched, bound or misaligned saw blade, causing an uncontrolled saw to lift up and out of the workpiece toward the operator:

1. When the blade is pinched or bound tightly by the kerf closing down, the blade stalls and the motor reaction drives the unit rapidly back toward the operator;

2. If the blade becomes twisted or misaligned in the cut, the teeth at the back edge of the blade can dig into the top surface of the workpiece causing the blade to climb out of the kerf and jump back towards the operator.

www.evolutionproject.com

PROJECT ®

Kickback is the result of saw misuse and/or incorrect operating procedures or conditions and can be avoided by taking proper precautions as given below.

a) Maintain a firm grip with both hands on the saw and position your arms to resist kickback forces. Position your body to either side of the blade, but not in line with the blade. Kickback could cause the saw to jump backwards, but kickback forces can be controlled by the operator, if proper precautions are taken.

b) If the blades are binding, or when interrupting a cut for any reason, release the trigger and hold the saw motionless in the material until the blades come to a complete stop. Never attempt to remove the saw from the work or pull the saw backward while the blades are in motion or kickback may occur. Investigate and take corrective actions to eliminate the cause of blade binding.

c) When restarting a saw in the workpiece, centre the saw blade in the kerf and check that saw teeth are not engaged into the material. If saw blade is binding, it may walk up or kickback from the workpiece as the saw is restarted.

d) Support large panels to minimise the risk of blade pinching and kickback. Large panels tend to sag under their own weight. Supports must be placed under the panel on both sides, near the line of cut and near the edge of the panel.

e) Blade depth and bevel adjusting locking levers must be tight and secure before making a cut. If blade adjustment shifts while cutting. it may cause binding and kickback.

f) Do not use dull or damaged blades. Unsharpened or improperly set blades produce a narrow kerf causing excessive friction, blade binding and kickback.

g) Use extra caution when making a “plunge cut” into existing walls or other blind areas. The protruding blade may cut objects that can cause kickback.

Safety instructions for saws a) Check lower guard for proper closing before each use. Do not operate the saw if lower guard does not move freely and close instantly. Never clamp or tie the lower guard into the open position. If saw is accidentally dropped, the lower guard may be bent. Raise the lower guard with the retracting handle and make sure it moves freely and does not touch the blade or any other part, in all angles and depths of cut.

b) Check the operation of the lower guard spring. If the guard and the spring are not operating properly, they must be serviced before use. Lower guard may operate sluggishly due to damaged parts, gummy deposits, or a build-up of debris.

c) Lower guard may be retracted manually only for special cuts such as “plunge cuts” and “compound cuts.” Raise lower guard by the retracting handle and as soon as the blade enters the material, the lower guard must be released. For all other sawing, the lower guard should operate automatically.

d) Always observe that the lower guard is covering the blade before placing saw down on bench or floor. An unprotected, coasting blade will cause the saw to walk backwards, cutting whatever is in its path. Be aware of the time it takes for the blade to stop after switch is released.

INSTALLING/REMOVING THE TCT BLADES

NOTE: It is recommended that the operator considers wearing protective gloves when handling the blades during installation or when changing the blades.

1. Installation

1. Ensure that the machine is not connected to any power source.

2. Lay the saw down on a bench with the blade arbour pointing upwards.

3. Open the lower guard (see fig 2)

4. Place blade A onto the flange with the letter ‘A’ clearly visible (see fig 1)

5. Align the two offset cut-outs in the blade with the drive pins on the flange and securely fit the blade onto the flange

(see fig 3)

6. Place blade ‘B’ onto the adaptor with the letter ‘B’ clearly visible, and then thread the locknut onto the shaft. HAND

TIGHTEN only.

7. Turn the blades so that the holes in both blades are lined up.

8. Place the pin (included with the wrench) into the aligned holes.

9. Tighten the locknut clockwise with a wrench, and then remove the pin from the blades (see fig 4). This will allow the blades to rotate freely.

10. Carefully turn the blades by hand to ensure that they rotate easily in opposite directions.

2. Removal

1. Ensure that the machine is disconnected from the mains supply.

2. Allow the blades to cool.

3. Rotate the blades until the holes in both blades are in alignment.

4. Place the pin attached to the wrench through the holes in the blades.

5. Unscrew the locknut by rotating it counter clockwise, and remove it (see fig 4).

6. Open the lower guard (see fig 2)

7. Lift and remove blade ‘B’.

8. Lift and remove blade ‘A’.

CUTTING PROCEDURES

1. Mark out the material to be cut (use an appropriate pencil etc) with clear, precise cutting lines.

2. Offer the saw up to the material to be cut and align the blades with a pre-marked cutting line. Do not start the machine until correct alignment has been achieved

3. Ensuring that the blades are not touching the material to be cut, turn on the machine and allow to run up to full speed.

4. Gently feed the saw blades into the workpiece. Cutting can be preformed smoothly if you cut straight ahead and allow the saw time to work without forcing or pressing the blade.

CAUTION

• Always check the TCT blades before starting work.

• Never use a cracked, broken or bent TCT blade.

• Do not apply water or coolant to a TCT blade.

• Start cutting only when the machine reaches full operating speed.

• If the blade seizes or there is any abnormal noise, immediately turn the power off.

• Never use a TCT blade to cut zig zag or curved lines.

• Never use the side surface of the TCT blade. Never use to perform inclination cutting.

• If excessive force is applied to the TCT blade to make it align with a pre-marked line during cutting, this could overload the motor, cause burn damage and may overheat the blades and shorten their service life.

• Take care not to allow the machines power cord to come into contact with the rotating TCT blades during cutting operations.

• Support the workpiece in such a way that it is possible to predict what will happen, and so that the cut remains open while cutting.

LINE DIAGRAMS FROM DISC CUTTER MANUAL COULD

BE USEFUL ?

• Feed the machine down in line with the blades. Sideways pressure on the blades can damage them and can be dangerous.

• When the work is completed, turn off the power and disconnect the power plug from the power supply.

CUTTING CROSS SECTIONAL MATERIALS

The life span of the blades and the quality of the cutting edge is dependent upon vibration being kept to a minimum. For this reason the material should always be clamped in place before work begins.

Flat bar iron

The blade is fed at an angle of 90 0 to the work surface

(see fig 5).

Corner piece

The blade is fed diagonally through the work surface

(see fig 6).

Rectangular pipe

The blade is fed from corner to corner (see fig 7).

U Section

The blade is fed from corner to corner (see fig 8?)

8 www.evolutionproject.com

FURY TWIN

Aluminium / Copper

This machine is equipped with a lubricating unit and this should be used when cutting all kinds of aluminium and copper

(see fig 9). Refer to the section ‘Lubricating Instructions’.

Shaped plate

Plate must always rest on at least three mounts, with one on either side of the cut (see fig 10).

Pipes

The blade is fed through the object until it reaches the lower edge, angled as it goes so that the blade hits the material at an angle of 90 0 (see fig 11).

Spiral tube and longitudinal cutting

Feed the blade into the material, so that the blade protrudes through by approximately 10mm. Do not drive the blade as far as its entire cutting edge. When the blade is through the materials wall, start to feed the blade forwards and backwards (see fig 12).

Thin plate

Only feed the blade down approximately 10mm. Then start cutting (see fig 13)

LUBRICATION INSTRUCTIONS

1. The blades are equipped with ‘Dry Cut’ teeth and as a general rule these need not be lubricated. However, with some materials and in some extreme conditions, cutting paste can be applied.

2. When cutting Aluminium / Copper / Stainless Steel and

Cast Iron, the lubricating device should be used.

3. We recommend that you use cutting paste in rod form, available from your Evolution Power Tool retailer.

MAINTENANCE

1. Inspecting the TCT Blades. A worn blade overloads the motor and reduces working efficiency. If either blade shows signs of wear replace with a new pair.

2. Inspecting the mounting screws. Regularly inspect all mounting screws and ensure they are properly tightened.

Should any of the screws be loose, retighten them immediately.

Failure to do so could result in a serious hazard.

3. Maintenance of the motor. Exercise due care to ensure that the winding does not become damaged and/or wet with oil or water.

4. Keep machine clean and free from debris. Avoid using cleaning products which include benzene, trichloroethylene, chloride or ammonia as these can damage plastic components.

5. In the case of electrical or mechanical malfunction immediately switch off the machine and disconnect the plug from the power supply.

6. Excessive sparking may indicate the presence of dirt in the motor or worn out carbon brushes. Check the brushes for wear and replace when they reach ¼ ˝ (6mm)

7. If the supply cord of this power tool is damaged, it must be replaced by a specially prepared cord available through the service organisation.

8. For all other service take the machine to your local dealer, or if bought in the USA to Evolution Power Tools USA, Iowa.
