5.1 Maintenance 5.1
CLEANING AND LUBRICATION
It is good practice to keep a dust sheet over the Evolution if it is not to be used for
extended periods. In any event regularly clean it with a dry cloth, to remove any
stubborn stains use a cloth dampened with a little water/detergent.
Should the cutting head slideway require lubrication use a silicon spray or impregnated
sponge.
CUTTING HEAD BEARINGS
The bearings that control the sliding motion of the cutting head are manufactured from a
high grade polymer and under normal use will last for an extremely long time. As they
settle into position you may find a slight amount of side play, this can be removed by
tightening the two adjustment screws:
Place the long end of the 2mm Allen key provided onto either of the two screws and very
gradually tighten it with one hand whilst moving the Cutting Head up and down with the
other. Once you feel the sliding motion start to tighten undo the screw the smallest
amount so the Cutting Head just slides easily.
Repeat this on the second screw, two or three finer adjustments on each screw may be
needed to achieve an easy sliding movement with zero side play.
Do not use oil or spirits to lubricate or clean the Evolution,
some of the plastic components and bearings may be damaged.
