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 (3) 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 (2) (fig. A1),
rotate it 45° and let go
(fig. A2), slowly raise the
saw arm.
WARNING. Do not lift the
saw whilst holding on to the
guards. Use the operating
handle (3).
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 operating handle (3) or outer
castings. Do not lift the saw using the guards.
Bench mounting
The saw base has holes in
each corner to facilitate
bench mounting (fig. B).
1. Place the saw on 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 (2) is
provided for holding the
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.
