Unpacking

Due to modern mass production techniques, it is unlikely that your GMC Power Tool is faulty or that a part is missing. If you find anything wrong, do not operate the tool until the parts have been replaced or the fault has been rectified. Failure to do so could result in serious personal injury.

1.Remove all loose parts from the carton.

2.Remove the packing materials from around the saw.

3.Using the operating handle (7) carefully lift the saw from the carton and place it on a level work surface.

4.The saw has been shipped with the saw arm locked in the down position. To release the saw arm, push down on the top of the saw arm, pull on the release knob (6) (fig. A), rotate it 45° and let go (fig. B), slowly raise the saw arm.

Bench mounting

warped as an uneven surface can cause binding and

 

inaccurate sawing.
