the condition of their hands and fingers closely.
If any of the symptoms become evident, seek
immediate medical advice.
• The measurement and assessment of
human exposure to hand-transmitted
vibration in the workplace is given in:
BS EN ISO 5349-1:2001 and
BS EN ISO 5349-2:2002
• Many factors can influence the actual
vibration level during operation e.g. the
work surfaces condition and orientation
and the type and condition of the machine
being used. Before each use, such factors
should be assessed, and where possible
appropriate working practices adopted.
Managing these factors can help reduce
the effects of vibration:
Handling
• Handle the machine with care, allowing
the machine to do the work.
• Avoid using excessive physical effort on
any of the machines controls.
• Consider your security and stability,
and the orientation of the machine
during use.
Work Surface
• Consider the work surface material; its
condition, density, strength, rigidity and
orientation.
WARNING: The vibration emission during
actual use of the power tool can differ from
the declared total value depending on the
ways in which the tool is used. The need
to identify safety measures and to protect
the operator are based on an estimation
of exposure in the actual conditions of use
(taking account of all parts of the operating
cycle, such as the times the tool is switched
off, when it is running idle, in addition to
trigger time).

(2.7)
HEALTH ADVICE
WARNING: When using this machine, dust
particles may be produced. In some instances,
depending on the materials you are working
with, this dust can be particularly harmful. If you
suspect that paint on the surface of material you
wish to cut 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. You are
advised to consider the risks associated with the
materials you are working with and to reduce the
risk of exposure. As some materials 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.
You should always:
• Work in a well-ventilated area.
• Work with approved safety equipment, such as
dust masks that are specially designed to filter
microscopic particles.
SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS FOR ABRASIVE
CUTTINGOFF OPERATIONS
Cut-off machine safety warnings
a) The guard provided with the tool must
be securely attached to the power tool and
positioned for maximum safety, so the least
amount of wheel is exposed towards the
operator. Position yourself and bystanders
away from the plane of the rotating wheel. The
guard helps to protect operator from broken wheel
fragments and accidental contact with wheel.
b) Use only bonded reinforced or diamond
cut-off wheels for your power tool. Just
because an accessory can be attached to your
power tool, it does not assure safe operation.
c) The rated speed of the accessory must be at
least equal to the maximum speed marked on
the power tool. Accessories running faster than
their rated speed can break and fly apart.
d) Wheels must be used only for recommended
applications. For example: do not grind with
the side of cut-off wheel. Abrasive cut-off wheels
are intended for peripheral grinding, side forces
applied to these wheels may cause them to shatter.
e) Always use undamaged wheel flanges
that are of correct diameter for your selected
wheel. Proper wheel flanges support the wheel
thus reducing the possibility of wheel breakage.
f) Do not use worn down reinforced wheels
from larger power tools. Wheels intended
for a larger power tool are not suitable for the

9
www.evolutionpowertools.com
EN
DE
FR
ES
higher speed of a smaller tool and may burst.
g) The outside diameter and the
thickness of your accessory must be
within the capacity rating of your power
tool. Incorrectly sized accessories cannot
be adequately guarded or controlled.
h) The arbour size of wheels and flanges must
properly fit the spindle of the power tool.
Wheels and flanges with arbour holes that do not
match the mounting hardware of the power tool
will run out of balance, vibrate excessively and may
cause loss of control.
i) Do not use damaged wheels. Before each
use, inspect the wheels for chips and cracks.
If power tool or wheel is dropped, inspect for
damage
or install an undamaged wheel. After
inspecting and installing the wheel, position
yourself and bystanders away from the plane
of the rotating wheel and run the power tool
at maximum no load speed for one minute.
Damaged wheels will normally break apart during
this test time.
j) Wear personal protective equipment.
Depending on application, use face shield,
safety goggles or safety glasses. As
appropriate, wear dust mask, hearing
protectors, gloves and shop apron capable of
stopping small abrasive or workpiece
fragments. The eye protection must be capable
of stopping flying debris generated by various
operations. The dust mask or respirator must be
capable of filtrating particles generated by your
operation. Prolonged exposure to high intensity
noise may cause hearing loss.
k) Keep bystanders a safe distance away from
work area. Anyone entering the work
area must wear personal protective
equipment. Fragments of workpiece or of a
broken wheel may fly away and cause injury beyond
immediate area of operation.
l) Hold the power tool by insulated gripping
surfaces only, when performing an operation
where the cutting accessory may contact
hidden wiring or its own cord.
Cutting accessory contacting a “live” wire may make
exposed metal parts of the power tool “live” and
could give the operator an electric shock.
m) Position the cord clear of the spinning
accessory. If you lose control, the cord may be
cut or snagged and your hand or arm may be pulled
into the spinning wheel.
n) Never lay the power tool down until the
accessory has come to a complete stop.
The spinning wheel may grab the surface and pull
the power tool out of your control.
o) Do not run the power tool while carrying it at
your side. Accidental contact with the
spinning accessory could snag your clothing, pulling
the accessory into your body.
p) Regularly clean the power tool’s air vents.
The motor’s fan will draw the dust inside the housing
and excessive accumulation of powdered metal may
cause electrical hazards.
q) Do not operate the power tool near
flammable materials. Sparks could ignite these
materials.
r) Do not use accessories that require liquid
coolants. Using water or other liquid coolants may
result in electrocution or shock.
FURTHER SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS FOR
ABRASIVE CUTTINGOFF OPERATIONS
Kickback and related warnings
Kickback is a sudden reaction to a pinched or
snagged rotating wheel. Pinching or snagging
causes rapid stalling of the rotating wheel which in
turn causes the uncontrolled power tool to be forced
in the direction opposite of the wheel’s rotation at
the point of the binding. For example, if an abrasive
wheel is snagged or pinched by the workpiece, the
edge of the wheel that is entering into the pinch
point can dig into the surface of the material causing
the wheel to climb out or kick out. The wheel may
either jump toward or away from the operator,
depending on direction of the wheel’s movement
at the point of pinching. Abrasive wheels may also
break under these conditions. Kickback is the result
of power tool misuse and/or incorrect operating
procedures or conditions and can be avoided by
taking proper precautions as given below.
a) Maintain a firm grip on the power tool and
position your body and arm to allow you to
resist kickback forces. Always use auxiliary

10
www.evolutionpowertools.com
handle, if provided, for maximum control over
kickback or torque reaction during start-
up. The operator can control torque reactions or
kickback forces, if proper precautions are taken.
b) Never place your hand near the rotating
accessory. Accessory may kickback over your hand.
c) Do not position your body in line with the
rotating wheel. Kickback will propel the tool in
direction opposite to the wheel’s movement at the
point of snagging.
d) Use special care when working corners,
sharp edges etc. Avoid bouncing and snagging
the accessory. Corners, sharp edges or bouncing
have a tendency to snag the rotating accessory and
cause loss of control or kickback.
e) Do not attach a saw chain, woodcarving
blade, segmented diamond wheel with a
peripheral gap greater than 10 mm or toothed
saw blade. Such blades create frequent kickback
and loss of control.
f) Do not “jam” the wheel or apply excessive
pressure. Do not attempt to make an excessive
depth of cut. Overstressing the wheel increases the
loading and susceptibility to twisting or binding of
the wheel in the cut and the possibility of kickback or
wheel breakage.
g) When wheel is binding or when interrupting
a cut for any reason, switch off the power tool
and hold the power tool motionless until the
wheel comes to a complete stop. Never attempt
to remove the wheel from the cut while the
wheel is in motion otherwise kickback may
occur. Investigate and take corrective action to
eliminate the cause of wheel binding.
h) Do not restart the cutting operation in the
workpiece. Let the wheel reach full speed and
carefully re-enter the cut. The wheel may bind,
walk up or kickback if the power tool is restarted in
the workpiece.
i) Support panels or any oversized workpiece to
minimize the risk of wheel pinching
and kickback. Large workpieces tend to sag under
their own weight. Supports must be placed under
the workpiece near the line of cut and near the edge
of the workpiece on both sides of the wheel.
j) Use extra caution when making a “pocket
cut” into existing walls or other blind areas.
The protruding wheel may cut gas or water pipes,
electrical wiring or objects that can cause kickback.
(2.8) WARNING: the operation of any power
tool can result in foreign objects being thrown
towards your eyes, which could result in severe eye
damage. Before beginning power tool operation,
always wear safety goggles or safety glasses with
side shield or a full face shield where necessary.
ADDITIONAL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING: Always disconnect the Disc Cutter
from the mains supply before changing discs,
servicing, cleaning or adjusting the Disc Cutter.
• Keep your hands away from cutting area and
the cutting disc. Keep your second hand on
the auxiliary handle or motor housing. If both
hands are holding the machine, they cannot
come into contact with the diamond disc.
• Never engage the spindle lock button while
the machine is running. Serious damage could
occur to the machine and potentially a very
hazardous situation arise for the operator.
• Only use diamond discs or other approved
cutting discs as specified by the manufacturer.
Do not operate the cutter while applying water.
The cutting discs are ‘dry cut’ discs.
• Always check the diamond disc before starting
the machine. If it is cracked, broken or bent,
do not use it. Carefully start the machine and
check for any unusual noises, vibration or other
abnormalities.
• Be careful when cutting metal. Using the
diamond disc to cut metal (reinforcing rods
embedded in concrete) will shorten its service
life and could lead to disc damage.
• Allow the Cutting Disc to reach full speed
before beginning a cut. Start working only
when maximum speed is reached.
• Do not use excessive force. Excessive force
overloads the motor and reduces working
efficiency and service life. Always cut concrete,
tile or stone to a maximum cutting depth of
50mm or less. If the cutting depth is more than
50mm, cut the workpiece 2 or 3 times. If the
workpiece is cut with a cutting depth of more
than 50mm, the service life of the diamond disc
will be re¬duced and the motor may seize.

• Install the dust extraction port cover when
a dust collection hose is not in use. During
cutting operations if sparks could be generated,
cover the dust extraction port with its rubber
cap and be sure to wear protective glasses.
• Never use a damaged or incorrect arbor bolt
or disc flanges. The disc flanges and arbor bolt
were specially designed for your machine to
provide optimum performance and safety of
operation.
• This saw is equipped with an approved cord
and plug for its intended Country of use. Do not
alter or modify the power cord. If the moulded
plug or the power cord is damaged in any way
it must be replaced with an identical type by a
competent technician.

USING A DUST EXTRACTION MACHINE
A workshop dust extraction machine can be attached to the
Evolution Disc Cutter.
WARNING: Dust can be very dangerous. We strongly
recommend that a suitable dust extraction machine (not
supplied) is used with this machine to keep the workplace as
clean and safe as possible.
The suction hose from the dust extraction machine should be
attached to the dust extraction port of the Disc Cutter.
• Remove the rubber cap from the dust extraction port and
store it safely for future use.
• Push the connection hose from the dust extraction machine
into the dust extraction port of the Disc Cutter. FIG. 4
• Follow all instructions supplied with the dust extraction
machine when using such with this Disc Cutter.
• Ensure that the hose and power cable of any attached dust
extraction machine do not pose or cause a trip or any other
form of hazard to the operator.
• When the dust extraction machine is no longer required,
remove it from the Disc Cutter and replace the rubber cap to
the dust extraction port.
THE ON/OFF TRIGGER SWITCH
This machine is equipped with a safety start trigger switch.
To start the tool:
• Push in the safety lock button (Fig. 5a) on the side of the
handle with your thumb.
• Depress the main trigger switch (Fig. 5b) to start the motor.
WARNING: Never start the saw with the cutting edge of the
saw blade in contact with the workpiece surface.

CUTTING ADVICE
PRE-CUTTING ADVICE
• Ensure that the power supply matches the requirements
specified on the machines rating plate.
• Ensure that the machines trigger switch is in the ‘OFF’
position. If the machine is connected to a power source with
the trigger switch in the ‘ON’ position, the machine could
start operating immediately with the possibility of a serious
accident occurring.
• If an extension cable is required it must be a suitable type
for use outdoors and so labelled.
• The manufacturers instructions should be followed when
using an extension cable.
• Route any extension cable so that it does not pose a trip (or
any other) hazard to the operator or any bystanders.
WHEEL GUARD ADJUSTMENT
The Wheel Guard is adjustable and should be positioned to
provide the operator with the best combination of personal
protection and visibility of the cutting area.
WARNING: Ensure that the machine is disconnected from the
power supply before adjusting the Wheel Guard.
• Loosen the Wheel Guard locking knob and rotate the Guard
to the required position. FIG. 6
• Securely tighten the Wheel Guard locking knob to lock the
Guard in place.
Note: The tightness of this locking knob and the security of
the Wheel Guard should be checked regularly when operations
commence.

CUTTING ADVICE
Mark out all the cutting lines on the workpiece using suitable
media – pencil, crayon, chalk etc. All cutting lines should be
clear and readily visible.
• If possible support the workpiece in such a way that it is
possible to predict what will happen, and that the cut will
remain stable and open while cutting. (FIG. 7)
• Always align the diamond wheel with a pre-marked cutting
line before beginning operations, but ensure that the
diamond wheel is not touching the workpiece.
• Switch the machine ‘ON’ and allow the blade to reach its full
operational speed.
• Gently feed the blade into the workpiece. Cutting
performance is best when you cut straight ahead along the
pre-marked cutting line. Do not cut a depth of greater than
50mm (2”). FIG. 8 If a cut of greater than 50 mm (2”) is
required make several passes.
• Cut smoothly, allowing the machine to work without forcing
the blade.
WARNING: Do not attempt to cut curved or zig zag lines.
Never use the side of the blade as a cutting surface. Never use
to perform inclination cutting.
• Do not apply water or coolant to the diamond blade.
• Move the blade slowly backwards and forwards and try to
achieve a small contact area between the blade and the
workpiece being cut. This reduces the temperature of the
blade and ensures efficient cutting.
• If the blade seizes or there is any abnormal noise,
immediately turn the power ‘OFF’ and investigate the
cause. Determine the cause of any noise or stoppage. Only
recommence cutting if it is safe to do so.
• Feed the machine down in line with the blade. Sideways
pressure on the blade disc can damage it and can be very
dangerous.
