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
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
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
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
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.
