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 carrying handle (8) 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), rotate it 45° and let go, slowly raise the saw arm.

WARNING. Do not lift the saw whilst holding on to the guards. Use the carrying handle (8).

Transportation

Lift the mitre saw only when

the saw arm is locked in the A down position, the saw is switched off and the plug

is removed from the power point.

Only lift the saw by the carrying handle (8) or outer castings (fig. A). Do not lift the saw using the guard or operating handle (7).

Bench mounting

 

B

The saw base has holes in

 

each corner to facilitate

 

bench mounting (fig. B).

 

1.Mount the saw to a level, horizontal bench or work table using bolts (not supplied) and fix the saw to the bench using 4 bolts.

2.If desired, you can mount the saw to a piece of 13mm or thicker plywood which can then be clamped to your work support or moved to other job sites and re-clamped.

CAUTION. Make sure that the mounting surface is not warped as an uneven surface can cause binding and inaccurate sawing.

Stabiliser bar

 

C

When the saw is not fitted

 

to a bench, always fit the

 

stabiliser bar (40) into the

 

holes at the rear of the saw

 

base (fig. C). The stabiliser

 

helps prevent the saw from

 

tipping backwards when the

 

slide action is used.

 

Release knob

 

D

The release knob (6) is

 

provided for holding the

 

cutting head down whilst

 

transporting or storing the

 

mitre saw (fig. D). The saw

 

must never be used

 

with the release knob locking

 

the head down.
