5. Check the integrity of the installation, and
that the machine handle has trapped the
auxiliary guard in place. (Fig. 16)
WARNING: The Auxiliary Blade Guard must
be fitted when this machine is used as a
Table Saw. Do not operate this machine if the
Auxiliary Blade Guard is damaged or missing.
2. Adjusting the Table Height
The height of the machine table top above
the machine motor can be adjusted. This
enables your Evolution Table/Mitre Saw to
mimic the rise and fall facility found on many
conventional table saws. The cutting depth
of the blade can thereby be adjusted from
0mm to 50mm.
WARNING: Only adjust the height of the
table with the machine disconnected from
the mains power supply.
To adjust:
• Loosen the two table pillar wing nuts, one
to the front, and one to the rear underneath
the machine table. (Fig. 17)
• Turn the height adjustment screw (Fig. 18)
clockwise or counter-clockwise until the saw
blade protrudes through the table by the
required amount.
• Tighten the two table pillar wing nuts
securely.
Note: The upper blade guard can be rotated
backwards to allow access to the table top so
that a machinist ruler can be used to measure
the height of the blade above the table.
To gain access –
• Pull out the sprung loaded locating pin at
the rear of the upper guard (Fig. 19)
• Rotate the guard backwards.
WARNING: Always return the guard to its
operational position with the locating pin fully
engaged in its hole in the riving knife when
measuring has been completed.
Never use the machine without the upper
guard in its operational position. Check the
operation of the upper guard after every
adjustment.
Return the table to its original (lowest)
position when cutting is completed.
3. The Rip Fence
An adjustable Rip Fence is positioned to the
RH side of the blade. The Rip Fence can be
locked into the desired position by tightening
a wing nut found underneath the Rip Fence
Carrier. (Fig. 20)
The Rip Fence rail is an integral part of the
machine table and contains a measurement
scale to aid setting.
Do not position the Rip Fence to the LH side
of the blade.
Forwards and backwards adjustment of the
rip fence is possible. Loosen the two socket
headed screws with a suitable Allen key and
slide the aluminium extrusion to the desired
position. Tighten the socket screws firmly.
(Fig. 21)
Note: We recommend that normally the
rip fence be adjusted so that the rear of
the guide is level with the rear of the blade
where it emerges from the table.
The aluminium fence guide can be attached
to the fence carrier in a ‘Hi’ and a ‘Lo’ position.
The ‘normal’ and factory supplied position is
with the fence set to the ‘Hi’ setting.
The ‘Lo’ setting can be useful when cutting
very thin sheet material.
To re-position the Rip Fence to the ‘Lo’
setting:
• Loosen the two socket headed screws.
• Slide the aluminium extrusion from the
carrier.
• Re-attach the aluminium extrusion to the
carrier in the ‘Lo’ position.
• Tighten the two socket headed screws with
the fence in the required position. (Fig. 22)
BASIC TABLE SAW OPERATIONS
WARNING: Never attempt freehand cuts
on this machine. Always use the Rip Fence
Guide to minimise the possibility of the blade
binding and kickback.
We recommend that the saw blade
protrudes through the material to be cut by
