Personal safety  
Safety instructions  
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.  
WARNING. Read and understand 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 below refers to your  
mains-operated (corded) power tool or battery-operated  
(cordless) power tool.  
Use safety equipment. Always wear eye protection.  
Safety equipment such as a dust mask, non-skid  
safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing protection used for  
appropriate conditions will reduce personal injuries.  
Save these instructions  
Work area  
Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered and dark  
areas invite accidents.  
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.  
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.  
Remove any adjusting key or wrench before turning  
the tool on. A wrench or a key that is left attached to a  
rotating part of the power tool may result in personal injury.  
Keep children and bystanders away while operating  
a power tool. Distractions can cause you to lose control.  
Electrical safety  
Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at  
all times. This enables better control of the power tool in  
unexpected situations.  
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.  
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.  
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.  
If devices are provided for the connection of dust  
extraction and collection facilities ensure that these  
are connected and properly used. Use of these  
devices can reduce dust-related hazards.  
Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions.  
Water entering a power tool will increase the risk of  
electric shock.  
Power tool use and care  
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.  
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.  
When operating a power tool outdoors, use an  
outdoor extension cord suitable for outdoor use.  
Use of a cord suitable for outdoor use reduces the risk of  
electric shock.  
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.

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.  
Ensure that the lighting is adequate.  
Keep the area free of tripping hazards.  
Do not let anyone under the age of 18 years operate  
this saw.  
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.  
Always stand to one side when operating the saw.  
Never use a cracked or distorted saw blade. Only use  
sharp blades.  
When cutting round wood, use clamps that prevent the  
work piece from turning on both sides of the blade.  
Maintain power tools. Check for misalignment or  
binding of moving parts, breakage of parts and any other  
condition that may affect the power tool’s operation. If  
damaged, have the power tool repaired before use. Many  
accidents are caused by poorly maintained power tools.  
Never use your hands to remove sawdust, chips or waste  
close by the blade.  
Use only blades as recommended.  
Keep cutting tools sharp and clean.  
Properly maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting  
edges are less likely to bind and are easier to control.  
Rags, cloths, cord and string and the like should never  
be left around the work area.  
Avoid cutting nails. Inspect the work piece and remove all  
nails and other foreign objects before beginning sawing.  
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 intended could result in a  
hazardous situation.  
Support the work properly.  
Never reach over the blade to remove waste or off cuts.  
Do not attempt to free a jammed blade before first  
switching off the machine.  
Do not slow or stop a blade with a piece of wood. Let the  
blade come to rest naturally.  
Service  
If you are interrupted when operating the saw, complete  
the process and switch off before looking up.  
Have your power tool serviced by a qualified repair  
personnel using only identical replacement parts.  
This will ensure that the safety of the power tool is  
maintained.  
Periodically check that all nuts, bolts and other fixings are  
properly tightened.  
Always hold the saw on parts that are insulated. If you  
accidentally cut into hidden wiring or the saw’s own cable,  
the metal parts of the saw will become “live”.  
Additional safety rules for  
reciprocating saws  
Always remove the plug from the mains socket before  
making any adjustments or maintenance, including  
changing the blade.  
When operating the saw, use safety equipment including  
safety goggles or shield, ear protection, dust mask and  
protective clothing including safety gloves.  
Never saw near combustible liquids or gases.  
The tool must be used only for its prescribed purpose.  
Any use other than those mentioned in this Manual will  
be considered a case of misuse. The user and not the  
manufacturer shall be liable for any damage or injury  
resulting from such cases of misuse.

The manufacturer shall not be liable for any changes made  
to the tool nor for any damage resulting from such changes.  
WARNINGS. Before connecting a tool to a power source  
(mains switch power point receptacle, outlet, etc.) be sure  
that the voltage supply is the same as that specified on the  
nameplate of the tool. A power source with a voltage greater  
than that specified for the tool can result in serious injury to  
the user, as well as damage to the tool.  
Even when the tool is used as prescribed it is not possible to  
eliminate all residual risk factors. The following hazards may  
arise in connection with the tool’s construction and design:  
Contact with the blade.  
If in doubt, do not plug in the tool. Using a power source  
with a voltage less than the nameplate rating is harmful to  
the motor.  
Kickback of work piece and parts of work piece.  
Blade fracture.  
Catapulting of blade pieces.  
Wear goggles  
Damage to hearing if effective earmuffs are not worn.  
Wear earmuffs  
Harmful emissions of sawdust when the machine is  
used in closed rooms. Always use supplementary dust  
extraction where possible.  
Wear a breathing mask

Instruction manual  
Unpacking  
After long working periods external metal parts and  
accessories could be hot.  
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.  
Do not force the saw; let the tool do the work at a  
reasonable speed. Overloading will occur if too much  
pressure is applied and the motor slows resulting in  
inefficient cutting and possible damage to the motor.  
Always remove the plug from the mains socket before  
making any adjustments or maintenance, including  
changing the blade.  
Assembly  
The GMC MXR56 Reciprocating Saw is packed, fully  
assembled except for the blade.

General cutting  
Metal cutting  
1. Hold the saw firmly in front and clearly away from you.  
Metals such as sheet steel,  
pipe, steel rods, aluminium,  
brass and copper can be cut  
with your saw. Be careful not  
to bend or twist the blade and  
do not force the cutting action.  
2. Make sure that the blade is clear of any obstruction and  
that the power cord or any extension cord is out of the  
path of the blade.  
3. Ensure that the material to be cut is held firmly. Small  
work pieces should be held in a vice or clamped to the  
workbench.  
We recommend that you use  
cutting oil to lubricate the cut  
when sawing soft metals and  
steel. It keeps the blade cooler  
and prolongs blade life.  
4. Mark out the cutting line.  
5. Press the lock-off button and squeeze the trigger.  
6. Wait until the saw has  
reached maximum speed.  
Caution. Clamp the work firmly and cut close to the  
clamping point to minimise vibration. When cutting conduit  
pipe or angle iron, clamp the work in a vice if possible and  
cut close to the vice. To cut thin sheet metal, sandwich the  
sheet between hardboard or plywood and clamp the layers  
to prevent vibration and the tearing of the metal.  
7. Place the shoe on the work  
piece and begin sawing.  
NOTE. Use only enough  
pressure to keep the saw  
cutting. Do not force the  
cutting; allow the blade and the  
saw to do the work.  
Cleaning  
1. Keep the tool’s air vents unclogged and clean at all times.  
WARNING. Use of excessive pressure that causes bending  
or twisting of the blade may cause the blade to break.  
2. Remove dust and dirt regularly. Cleaning is best done  
with a rag.  
3. Re-lubricate all moving parts at regular intervals.  
4. Never use caustic agents to clean plastic parts.  
Plunge cutting  
1. Mark the line of the cut.  
2. Choose a point inside the  
area to be cut out and place  
the tip of the blade over that  
point.  
CAUTION. Do not use cleaning agents to clean the plastic  
parts of the saw. A mild detergent on a damp cloth is  
recommended. Water must never come into contact with  
the saw.  
3. Rest the front edge of the  
shoe on the work piece  
and hold the saw firmly in  
position.  
General inspection  
Regularly check that all the fixing screws are tight.  
They may vibrate loose over time.  
4. Press the lock-off button and squeeze the trigger to start  
the cutting action.  
Repairs  
Only an authorised service centre should replace the  
cordset or carry out other repairs. If the cordset is damaged  
or worn, have it repaired or replaced by an authorised  
service centre.  
WARNING. Make sure that the blade does not touch the  
work piece until the blade has reached maximum speed  
since this could cause loss of control and serious injury.
