REMOVING A BLADE
WARNING: Use only genuine Evolution blades
(or those approved by Evolution Power Tools),
which are designed for use in these machines.
Ensure that the maximum speed of the blade is
compatible with the machine. Only perform this
operation with the machine disconnected from
the power supply.
Note: It is recommended that the operator
considers wearing protective gloves when
handling the blade during installation or when
changing the machines blade.
• Locate the supplied Blade Change Hex Key
which is housed in the onboard storage facility
(similarly position on all machines). (Fig. 1)
• Place saw on a level, secure surface.
Note: All machines can, with care, be balanced on
the flat end of the motor housing casing, (Fig. 2)
making access to the blade and blade fixings very
convenient.
• Locate the machines arbor lock button (which
is similarly positioned on all machines). Lock
the machines arbor by operating the arbor
lock button. (Fig. 3).
Note: Slowly rotating the blade by hand, whilst
gently pressing the arbor lock button will aid
arbor lock engagement.
• Using the Hex Key, loosen and remove the
arbor socket headed screw, associated fixings,
and outer blade drive flange. (Fig. 4)
Note: The socket headed arbor screw is equipped
with a standard screw thread.
Turn the screw clockwise to tighten. Turn the

• Safely store the outer blade flange and
associated fixings.
• Rotate the lower blade guard up into the
upper blade guard using the manual thumb
lever. (Fig. 5)
• Carefully remove the blade (if fitted) from
the machine.
• Thoroughly clean inner and outer blade
drive flanges.
Note: The inner blade flange can be left in
place if desired, but it should be checked and
thoroughly cleaned. If it is removed from the
machine it must be replaced back in the same
orientation as it was before removal.
• Thoroughly clean the blade around the bore
area (both surfaces) where the blade flanges
will touch and clamp the blade.
• Install the (new) blade.
• Ensure that the direction of rotation arrows
printed on the blade, match the direction
of rotation arrows found on the machines
upper and lower blade guards. (Fig. 6)
• Reinstall the outer drive flange, the
socket headed arbor screw, and its
associated fixings.
Note: The outer drive flange has a specially
machined bore which incorporates two
opposed 'flats. ' (Fig. 7a) These 'flats' engage
with two complimentary 'flats' machined into
the machines arbor shaft.
• Re-engage the arbor lock and tighten the
arbor socket headed screw securely using
the Hex Key.
• Release the arbor lock button
• Return the Hex Key to its dedicated storage
position.
• Check that the arbor lock has fully released
by manually rotating the blade.
• Check the operation of the lower
blade guard.
Note: For North American market only, a dual
side arbor flange is included, to allow 1" bore
blades (Fig. 7b) and 5/8" bore blades (Fig. 7c).
