SILVER DUAL-SIDED INNER-FLANGE
NORTH AMERICAN MODELS ONLY
North American models only are supplied with a silver
dual-sided inner-flange which enables you to safely
fit Evolution multipurpose blades with a 25.4mm (1”)
arbor and by ‘reversing’ this dual-sided inner-flange,
you can also safely fit saw blades with a 16mm (5/8”)
arbor as available in the North American market.
Note: Evolution Multipurpose blades save time and money.
Ideal for cutting mild steel, aluminium, plastics and wood
(even wood containing embedded nails)! For use only with
an Evolution power tool saw. All Evolution Multipurpose
TCT saw blades are made in Japan and are of premium
quality and performance.

WARNING:
Only carry out this operation with the machine
disconnected from the mains supply.
WARNING: You must ensure the silver dual-sided inner
flange side marked 25.4mm (1”) visible to you is correct for
the blade arbor you are fitting. The silver dual-sided inner flange
is marked with the relevant arbor size each side. Do not fit
a 16mm (5/8”) arbor blade to the 25.4mm (1”) marked silver
dual-sided inner-flange side.
Note: It is recommended that the operator considers wearing
protective gloves when handling the blade during installation
or when changing the blade.
