GENERAL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Read these instructions before using this
mitre saw stand. Do not modify or use this
stand for any purpose other than that for
which it was designed.
• Keep work area clear of obstructions
and well ventilated. Clutter makes
accidents more likely.
• Consider the work area environment.
Do not use power tools in damp or wet
conditions. Keep the work area well lit.
Do not use power tools in the presence
of ammable liquids or gases.
• Keep children and bystanders away.
Visitors are a distraction and are dicult
to protect and are unlikely to have any
knowledge of safety procedures.
• Store idle equipment. Preferably in a
locked dry cupboard.
• Safety Glasses. Approved safety glasses
should be worn by the operator and any
assistants when using a mitre saw.
• Stay alert. A moments inattention when
operating power tools may result in serious
personal injury. Do not use if tired or under the
inuence of drugs, alcohol or medication.
• Do not overreach. Keep proper footing
and balance at all times.
STAND SPECIFIC SAFETY
INSTRUCTIONS
• For maximum stability use the mitre stand
only on a at, level surface.
• Be careful when raising or lowering the
stand to prevent trapped ngers or hands.
• Ensure that the snap buttons on each leg
are in the locked position. This will ensure
that the stand remains rigid during
cutting operations.
• Do not step or climb on the stand.
• Before operation ensure that the mitre saw
is securely fastened to the stand to prevent
unwanted movement of the saw.
• Ensure that the material supports are
locked in place before use.
• Do not overload the side extension arms.

• Do not use if the stand becomes damaged
in any way.
The main frame can support 150kg (330lb)
total weight (saw + material).
Do not exceed this weight for any reason.
STAND FEATURES
• Lightweight tubular frame with ø45mm
tubular legs and crossbars.
• Extension rails adjustable to give roller
support centres from 860mm (min) to
1620mm (max).
• Mounts most mitre saws.
• Height to saw mounting base 750mm
• Height adjustable work support extensions,
support work pieces on 230mm long rollers
which are equipped with repeat cutting stops.
DEPLOYING THE LEGS
PRIOR TO ASSEMBLY
Note: It is much easier to set up or knock down
the stand without a saw being attached.
• Push the locking/unlocking button
(Fig. 1) and deploy all 4 legs, ensuring they
are locked in their service position.
ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS
• Screw the long locking screws (D) into
the guides. (Fig. 2)
• Slide the work support brackets (C) onto the
extension arms and lock in place with a long
locking screw (D). (Fig. 3)
• Insert the work support roller (B) into the
bracket and lock in place using a long
locking screw. (D) (Fig. 4)
For Normal Cutting Operations:
• The top of the roller(s) should be level with
the surface of the Mitre Saws rotary table.
• The extension arm(s) should be
positioned be give maximum support
to the workpiece.
For Repetitive Cutting Operations:
• The ‘stop face’ (Fig. 4a) can be positioned at
the required distance from the saw blade.
• The required work support should be
adjusted so that the ‘stop shelf’ (Fig. 4b)
is level with the Mitre Saws rotary table and
facing towards the saw.
• Adjust the relevant extension arm until the
‘stop face’ is at the required distance.
CHECKING AND ADJUSTING
THE SAW MOUNTING BRACKET
CLAMPING PRESSURE
The pressure exerted by the clamping
mechanism within a saw mounting bracket
can be adjusted. The clamping pressure of
each bracket should be checked before it is
attached to a mitre saw. When tted across
the mitre saw stands two main crossbars, and
with the locking handle in the down (locked)
position, a bracket should be rm and exhibit
no signs movement.
Excessive force to deploy the locking lever
to the down position should be avoided.
Gently pressing the lever downwards with the
palm of a hand should be all the force
needed to operate the locking lever.
To adjust the clamping pressure:
• Turn the clamp upside down to reveal
the mechanism.
• Loosen the locking nut. (Fig. 5)
• Turn the adjustment screw (Fig. 6)
clockwise to increase the clamping
pressure. Turn the screw counter-clockwise
to decrease the clamping pressure.
• Tighten the locknut when adjustment is
successfully completed.
MOUNTING EVOLUTION MITRE
SAW TO THE MITRE STAND
Note: The Evolution Mitre Saw Stand is
suitable for most Evolution Mitre Saws.
• Remove and safely store the four (4)
plastic feet from underneath the base of
the mitre saw. (Fig. 7)
• Remove and safely store the stability
block from underneath the positive stop
locking lever. (Fig. 8)

• Attach the machine to the saw mounting
brackets (A) using suitable bolts, washers
and locknuts etc. The locking handles must
be positioned to the front of the mitre saw.
(Fig. 9)
• Ensure that the xings used do not protrude
so far through the base of the machine that
they interfere with any other parts of the
Mitre Saw. Only tighten ‘nger tight’ at this
stage.
• Hook the front of the brackets over the
front of the mitre saw stands main frame
tubular crossbar. (Fig. 10)
• Push the back of the brackets down to
engage them onto the mitre saw stands
crossbars. (Fig. 11)
• Lock the brackets into place by gently
depressing the locking levers. (Fig. 12)
• If necessary re-postion the mitre saw
on the brackets so that the machines
fence aligns as near centrally with the
rear tubular crossbar of the mitre stand
as possible. This will ensure the greatest
stability of the machine and mitre saw
stand during cutting operations.
• When the mitre saw is correctly positioned
on the stand, securely tighten the four (4)
mounting bolts.
MOUNTING UNUSUAL OR
UNCOMMON MITRE SAWS
If your mitre saw is ‘uncommon’ or ‘unusual’
an adaptor plate may be necessary.
The adaptor plate can be bolted to the two (2)
saw mounting brackets, and when attached
to the stand should provide a suitable
mounting platform for most mitre saws.
The mitre saw can then be screwed or bolted to
the adaptor plate.
We recommend at least 25 mm thick plywood
or a piece of 32mm or 40mm kitchen worktop
for this adaptor plate.
Consult the manufacturer of the saw for any
special adjustments, other requirements or
xings etc needed to permanently mount
your saw to a worktop.
• A square or rectangular piece of plywood,
or worktop should be sourced which
will t the ‘footprint’ and mounting hole
conguration of your saw.
• The adaptor plate should be drilled and
bolted to the saw mounting brackets using
appropriate bolts, or xings etc.
• The adaptor plate can then be attached
to the mitre saw stand and the mitre saw
positioned upon the adaptor plate.
• For stability during use, care should be
taken to ensure that the mitre saw is
positioned on the adaptor plate so that
most of the bulk and weight of the saw is
centrally located over the two (2) mitre saw
stand crossbars.
• Use suitable xings to attach the mitre saw to
the adaptor plate.
• Check the stability of the machine and
installation over the full range of operating
conditions.
Note: Usually the machines fence should align
as closely as possible with the centre-line of the
mitre saw stand rear crossbar.
