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. Insert the cutting paste rod into the hole in the lubrication
unit. This unit is located on the top of the steel blade guard.
Push the lubricant rod down firmly, and rotate the lubricant
feed hand-wheel until it grips the lubricant rod.
4. Switch on the cutter, and using the feed hand-wheel, bring
the lubricant rod to gently bear on the rotating teeth of the
blades.
5. Operator discretion will be required to determine the
frequency of lubrication application. To apply extra lubricant,
turn the lubricant feed hand wheel.
NOTE: 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.
