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).

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.

Release knob

The release knob (6) is

provided for holding the C cutting head down whilst transporting or storing the

mitre saw (Fig. C). The saw must never be used with the release knob locking the head down.

Mitre table lock

The mitre table lock (25) is

used to lock the table at the D desired mitre angle (Fig. D).

The mitre saw cuts from 0° to 45° both left and right. To adjust the mitre angle loosen the mitre table lock and using the mitre table handle adjust the mitre angle to the desired position. The mitre table

features positive click stops at 0°, 15°, 22.5°, 30° and 45° for quick setting of common mitre angles.

WARNING. Be sure to tighten the mitre table lock before making a cut. Failure to do so could result in the table moving during the cut and cause serious personal injury.

Bevel lock

The bevel lock (16) is used to set the blade at the desired bevel angle (Fig. E). The mitre saw bevel cuts from 0° to 45° to the left and right. To adjust the bevel angle loosen the bevel lock and pull out the 0° bevel adjuster (18). Adjust the saw arm to the desired bevel angle.
