Overview
You have purchased a 1400 Watt Tile/Trim Saw with the GMC REDEYE® laser line cutting system.
Please refer to the safety instructions given earlier in this manual for important instructions regarding the use of the laser and Residual Current Device (RCD).
The saw is capable of ripping and cross cutting hardwoods, softwoods and man made boards (with the timber cutting blade) and wet cutting ceramic tiles, glass, slate and terracotta tiles (with the tile cutting disc) quickly, accurately and safely, when used correctly.
By loosening the bevel adjustment lever (8), the body and the blade of the saw can be tilted to any angle up to 45° for making angle cuts. Please note that the maximum depth of cut is reduced when cutting at an angle.
A fixed upper blade guard (20) encloses the upper part of the blade. As the saw advances through the work piece, the retractable lower blade guard (22) is pushed back by the edge of the workpiece to expose only that part of the blade which is needed. When the blade clears the work, the spring loaded lower blade guard snaps back to completely enclose the blade.

WARNING. It is very important from a safety point of view to use the correct blade.
The timber cutting blade should only be used for sawing timber and timber products. It must not be used for tile cutting (Fig. D).
Similarly, the tile cutting blade (Fig. E) should only be used for wet cutting tiles and the water cooling system (24) must always be correctly dispersing water onto the wet cutting tile blade as it grinds through the tile.
Note. Neither the tile disc/blade nor the water cooling system should be used for timber cutting.
Changing the disc / blade
CAUTION. Always ensure that the saw is switched off and unplugged from the power supply before making any adjustments.
WARNING. Always ensure the correct blade is fitted for the specific task at hand. NEVER use the timber cutting blade to cut tiles and similarly, NEVER use the wet cutting tile blade to cut timber.
IMPORTANT. Always remove
the water cooling system beforeF cutting timber.
1.Place saw on its side on a flat surface.
2.Rotate the saw blade by hand whilst depressing the spindle
lock button (15) until the blade locks (Fig. F).
