Introduction  
General safety rules  
Your new GMC power tool will more than satisfy  
your expectations. It has been manufactured under  
stringent GMC Quality Standards to meet superior  
performance criteria.  
WARNING. Read all instructions. Failure to follow all  
instructions listed below may result in electric shock, fire  
and/or serious injury. The term “power tool” in all of the  
warnings listed below refers to your mains operated (corded)  
power tool or battery operated (cordless) power tool.  
You will find your new tool easy and safe to operate,  
and, with proper care, it will give you many years  
of dependable service.

1. Work area  
CAUTION. Carefully read through this entire Instruction  
Manual before using your new GMC Power Tool. Take  
special care to heed the Cautions and Warnings.  
a. Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered and dark  
areas invite accidents.  
b. Do not operate power tools in explosive  
atmospheres, such as in the presence of flammable  
liquids, gases or dust. Power tools create sparks which  
may ignite the dust or fumes.  
Your GMC power tool has many features that will make  
your job faster and easier. Safety, performance, and  
dependability have been given top priority in the  
development of this tool, making it easy to maintain  
and operate.  
c. Keep children and bystanders away while operating a  
power tool. Distractions can cause you to lose control.  
2. Electrical safety  
Environmental protection  
a. Power tool plugs must match the outlet. Never modify  
the plug in any way. Do not use any adapter plugs with  
earthed (grounded) power tools. Unmodified plugs and  
matching outlets will reduce risk of electric shock.  
Recycle unwanted materials instead  
of disposing of them as waste. All tools,  
hoses and packaging should be sorted,  
taken to the local recycling centre and  
disposed of in an environmentally safe way.  
b. Avoid body contact with earthed or grounded  
surfaces such as pipes, radiators, ranges and  
refrigerators. There is an increased risk of electric  
shock if your body is earthed or grounded.

Number of heights:

c. Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions.  
Water entering a power tool will increase the risk of  
electric shock.  
Max. Height:

d. Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord for carrying,  
pulling or unplugging the power tool. Keep cord away  
from heat, oil, sharp edges or moving parts. Damaged or  
entangled cords increase the risk of electric shock.

e. When operating a power tool outdoors, use an  
extension cord suitable for outdoor use. Use of a cord  
suitable for outdoor use reduces the risk of electric shock.

3. Personal safety  
c. Disconnect the plug from the power source before  
making any adjustments, changing accessories, or  
storing power tools. Such preventive safety measures  
reduce the risk of starting the power tool accidentally.  
a. Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use  
common sense when operating a power tool. Do  
not use a power tool while you are tired or under the  
influence of drugs, alcohol or medication. A moment of  
inattention while operating power tools may result in  
serious personal injury.  
d. Store idle power tools out of the reach of children  
and do not allow persons unfamiliar with the power  
tool or these instructions to operate the power tool.  
Power tools are dangerous in the hands of untrained  
users.  
b. Use safety equipment. Always wear eye protection.  
Safety equipment such as dust mask, non-skid  
safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing protection used for  
appropriate conditions will reduce personal injuries.  
e. Maintain power tools. Check for misalignment or  
binding of moving parts, breakage of parts and  
any other condition that may affect the power tools  
operation. If damaged, have the power tool repaired  
before use. Many accidents are caused by poorly  
maintained power tools.  
c. Avoid accidental starting. Ensure the switch is in the  
off position before plugging in. Carrying power tools with  
your finger on the switch or plugging in power tools that  
have the switch on invites accidents.  
f. Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly  
maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting edges are less  
likely to bind and are easier to control.  
d. Remove any adjusting key or wrench before turning  
the power tool on. A wrench or a key left attached to a  
rotating part of the power tool may result in personal injury.  
g. Use the power tool, accessories and tool bits etc.,  
in accordance with these instructions and in the  
manner intended for the particular type of power  
tool, taking into account the working conditions and  
the work to be performed. Use of the power tool for  
operations different from those intended could result in a  
hazardous situation.  
e. Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at  
all times. This enables better control of the power tool in  
unexpected situations.  
f. Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or  
jewellery. Keep your hair, clothing and gloves away from  
moving parts. Loose clothes, jewellery or long hair can be  
caught in moving parts.  
5. Service  
g. If devices are provided for the connection of dust  
extraction and collection facilities, ensure these are  
connected and properly used. Use of these devices  
can reduce dust related hazards.  
a. Have your power tool serviced by a qualified repair  
person using only identical replacement parts. This  
will ensure that the safety of the power tool is maintained.  
4. Power tool use and care  
a. Do not force the power tool. Use the correct power tool  
for your application. The correct power tool will do the job  
better and safer at the rate for which it was designed.  
b. Do not use the power tool if the switch does not turn  
it on and off. Any power tool that cannot be controlled  
with the switch is dangerous and must be repaired.

Additional safety rules  
for bench grinder stands  
WARNING! DO NOT fit the bench grinder to the stand  
until the stand is bolted through or into the floor. This stand  
is not designed to be a free standing stand, and the base  
must be secured to the floor or area where the stand will  
be positioned. Do not fit the grinder or operate the grinder  
without the base being firmly attached as it will tip over.  
Periodically check that all nuts, bolts and other fixings are  
properly tightened.  
Do not use a wheel that has received a blow, especially  
to the side of the wheel.  
Replace a cracked or suspect wheel.  
Always allow a new wheel to run for a few minutes at full  
speed before using it. Stand to one side at start up.  
Additional safety rules for bench grinders  
Replace cracked wheel immediately.  
Always use guards and eye shields.  
Do not overtighten wheel nut.  
Check that the wheel rotates freely each time before  
start up.  
Do not use the grinder unless all the guards are properly  
fitted and secure.  
Use only flanges furnished with the grinder.  
Check that the tool rests are properly adjusted before  
commencing use.  
Adjust distance between wheel and work rest to maintain  
1/16 inch or less separation as the diameter of the wheel  
decreases with use.  
Do not overload the grinder. Allow the grinder to run at  
full speed, or close to full speed during use.  
Frequently clean grinding dust from beneath grinder.  
Never apply excessive pressure to the wheel. It might  
shatter causing personal injury.  
Always remove the plug from the mains socket before  
making any adjustments or maintenance, including  
changing the wheel.  
Make sure that the wheel is not in contact with the work  
when you start the grinder.  
Always wear eye protection and check that the eye  
shields on the grinder are properly adjusted.  
When using the grinder, use safety equipment including  
safety goggles or shield, ear protection, dust mask and  
protective clothing including safety gloves.  
Always turn the grinder off when it is not in use and  
never leave it unattended without first switching off and  
removing the power plug. Never leave the grinder until  
the grinding wheels have come to a complete stop.  
Wear safety goggles  
Wear ear protection  
Make sure that any replacement wheel is rated at  
3400RPM or higher.  
Wear a breathing mask
