Safety rules for laser lights  
General safety rules  
The laser light/laser radiation used in the GMC REDEYE®  
system is Class 2 with maximum ≤1mW and 400 – 700nm  
wavelength. These lasers do not normally present an optical  
hazard, although staring at the beam may cause flash  
blindness.  
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.  
WARNING. Do not stare directly at the laser beam.  
A hazard may exist if you deliberately stare into the beam,  
please observe all safety rules as follows;  
Save these instructions  
1. Work area  
The laser shall be used and maintained in accordance  
with the manufacturer’s instructions.  
a. Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered and dark  
areas invite accidents.  
Never aim the beam at any person or an object other  
than the work piece.  
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.  
LASER LIGHT. LASER RADIATION  
Do not stare into beam. Class 2 laser product  
Wave Length:400-700nm, Output Power: 1mW  
AS/NZS2211.1:2004  
c. Keep children and bystanders away while  
operating a power tool. Distractions can cause you to  
lose control.  
The laser beam shall not be deliberately aimed at  
personnel and shall be prevented from being directed  
towards the eye of a person for longer than 0.25s.  
2. Electrical safety  
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.  
Always ensure the laser beam is aimed at a sturdy work  
piece without reflective surfaces. i.e. wood or rough  
coated surfaces are acceptable. Bright shiny reflective  
sheet steel or the like is not suitable for laser use as  
the reflective surface could direct the beam back at the  
operator.  
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.  
Do not change the laser light assembly with a different  
type. Repairs must only be carried out by the laser  
manufacturer or an authorised agent.  
c. Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions.  
Water entering a power tool will increase the risk of  
electric shock.  
CAUTION. Use of controls or adjustments or performance  
of procedures other than those specified herein may result  
in hazardous radiation exposure.  
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.  
Please refer to the relevant Australian standards, AS 2397  
and AS/NZS 2211 for more information on Lasers.

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.  
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.  
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  
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.  
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.  
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.

Never reach over the blade to remove waste or off cuts.  
Additional safety rules for jigsaws  
Do not attempt to free a jammed blade before first  
switching off the machine.  
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. 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.  
If you are interrupted when operating the saw, complete  
the process and switch off before looking up.  
Periodically check that all nuts, bolts and other fixings are  
properly tightened.  
Do not store materials or equipment above a machine in  
such a way that they could fall into it.  
Your tool is double insulated for additional protection against  
a possible electrical insulation failure within the tool.  
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’.  
Always remove the plug from the mains socket before  
making any adjustments or maintenance, including  
changing the blade.  
Do not secure the jigsaw upside down in a vice or work  
bench and use it as a saw bench. This can lead to  
serious injury.  
Ensure that the lighting is adequate.  
Do not use the saw unless the guards are in place  
Keep the shoe flat on the work piece.  
When using the jigsaw, use safety equipment including  
safety goggles or shield, ear defenders, dust mask and  
protective clothing including safety gloves.  
Do not put pressure on the saw, such that it slows the  
motor down. Allow the saw blade to cut without pressure.  
You will get better results and you will be taking better  
care of your tool.

Keep the area free of tripping hazards.  
Do not let anyone under 18 years operate this jigsaw.  
Only use blades in good condition.  
Unpacking  
Before cutting, check that there is sufficient clearance for  
the blade under the work piece.  
Due to modern mass production techniques, it is unlikely  
that your 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 touch the blade after operation. It will be very hot.  
Keep your hands away from under the work piece.  
Never use your hands to remove sawdust, chips or waste  
close by the blade.  
Assembly  
Rags, cloths, cord, string and the like should never be left  
around the work area.  
The GMC jigsaw is packed, fully assembled except for  
the blade.  
Avoid cutting nails. Inspect the work piece and remove all  
nails and other foreign objects before beginning sawing.  
Support the work properly.

Adjusting the shoe for angular cutting  
Switching the jigsaw on/off  
The shoe plate (4) should be  
kept flat against the work piece  
when making a cut. It can be  
tilted left and right to change  
the angle of cut.  
1. Connect the plug to the  
power point  
2. Start the tool by squeezing  
the on/off trigger switch (2).  
Release the trigger to stop  
the tool.  
CAUTION. Always ensure  
that the jigsaw is switched off  
and plug is removed from the  
power point before making any  
adjustments.  
If you press the lock on button  
(5) while the trigger switch is  
depressed, the switch is kept in  
the operating position.  
1. To adjust the angle of  
cutting, first turn the jigsaw  
upside down and lift the  
shoe lock (17) to the vertical  
position.  
Adjusting the cutting speed  
The variable speed feature of  
this jigsaw enhances the cutting  
performance and saves the  
blade from undue wear.  
2. If you are adjusting the shoe  
for the first time you need  
to turn the shoe lock anti-  
clockwise until it is loose  
enough to allow the shoe to  
be moved forward and be  
tilted.  
The electronic speed control  
dial (11) is used to program  
the speed of the blade. The  
speed should be adapted to the  
material being cut.  
Use your finger or thumb to  
turn the dial forwards to increase the speed and backwards  
to decrease it.  
3. The shoe plate can be  
tilted to set positions at  
45° each way and at 0°. It  
can also be tilted to other  
angles between the set  
positions using the scale located on the base, close to  
the pendulum lever (10), to judge the angle of cut.  
Pendulum adjustment  
The pendulum lever (10) has 4  
positions. The first position “0”  
selects normal cutting without  
pendulum action. The next 3  
positions (1, 2 and 3) cause  
the blade to swing slightly  
4. Retighten the shoe lock clockwise and press the lever flat  
against the jigsaw base.  
backwards and forwards as it  
cuts. This pendulum actions  
increases the efficiency of cutting. Set the pendulum lever  
(10) to one of the three settings (1,2 or 3) according to  
degree of pendulum action required. Experiment on a piece  
of scrap material to determine the optimum pendulum action  
setting for the material of the work piece.  
NOTE. For accurate work it is necessary to make a trial  
cut, measure the work and reset the angle until the correct  
setting is achieved.

piece. By changing the position  
of the guide and using the  
same straight edge as a guide,  
it is possible to quickly and  
easily make parallel cuts in the  
work piece.  
Making a cut  
WARNING. The blade guard  
(6) should always be in place  
when the jigsaw is in use.  
1. Switch on the jigsaw and  
allow the blade to reach  
maximum speed.  
Blade guide  
The blade guide (7) is spring  
loaded. Depending on the  
position of the pendulum  
lever (10), the guide remains  
stationary (non-pendulum)  
or oscillates backwards and  
forwards, causing the blade to  
cut with a pendulum action.  
2. Slowly guide the jigsaw  
forward using both hands, keeping the shoe plate flat  
against the work piece. Do not force the jigsaw.  
NOTE. Use only enough pressure to keep the blade cutting.  
Do not force the cutting, allow the blade and the saw to do  
the work.  
Pocket & round cutting  
1. When starting a cut from  
the centre of a work piece,  
drill a 12mm diameter hole  
to ensure that there is

clearance for the blade.  
2. When cutting tight curves,  
reduce the speed of the saw.  
Removing the blade  
1. Turn the unit upside so you  
can access the jigsaw blade  
WARNING. Do not move the saw forward along its cut until  
the blade has completely entered the material and the shoe  
comes to rest on its surface.  
2. Using your thumb and  
forefinger push down the  
tool free blade change  
control on both sides on the  
jigsaw blade ensuring that  
your fingers do not contact  
the teeth of the jigsaw blade.  
Cutting metal  
1. When cutting metals, a suitable cooling/cutting oil must  
be used.  
2. Squirt the lubricant onto the blade or work piece at  
regular intervals during cutting in order to reduce wear on  
the blade.  
3. Whilst the tool-free blade change control (12) is pressed  
down the blade to be replaced is free and can be easily  
removed by using your other hand.  
Parallel fence  
The parallel fence (9) fits into the shoe plate (4) and is  
locked in place with the locking knob. It is used to guide  
the jigsaw along a straight line which can be an edge of the  
work piece or a piece of straight timber clamped to the work  
NOTE. If the blade is difficult to release using the blade  
change control, lightly tap the end of the blade with a  
wooden mallet or similar. This will free the blade which can  
then be released as before using the blade change control.

Using the REDEYE® laser line system  
Refitting a new blade  
1. Ensure the blade change  
control (12) is pressed down,  
slide the new blade into the  
locating groove in the blade  
clamp with the teeth pointing  
forward, ensuring that the  
blade rear edge is located  
and supported by the blade  
guide (7).  
Laser light assembly  
The laser light is powered from a transformer housed within  
the assembly. The REDEYE® laser line can be used for  
improved operator cutting vision, accuracy of cut, faster set-  
up and increased safety of operation.  
Laser light on/off switch  
The laser beam can be switched on and off using the  
switch (1).  
2. Release the blade change  
control and the blade will  
secure firmly in place.  
Laser aperture  
When the REDEYE® laser line is switched on, an intense  
narrow beam of pure red light is emitted from the laser  
aperture (15). The line shines along the work piece to guide  
you as you cut. The line is clearly visible and will not be  
obscured by sawdust.  
3. Replace the plug and run  
the jigsaw under no load to  
check that it runs smoothly  
and the blade is secure  
before using it to cut any  
materials.  
Maintenance  
WARNING. Always ensure that the tool is switched off and  
the plug is removed from the power point before making any  
adjustments or maintenance procedures.  
Dust extraction adaptor  
The dust extraction adaptor (13) allows a dust extraction  
system or a household vacuum cleaner to be connected to  
the tool in order to remove dust whilst the tool is in use.  
1. Keep the tool’s air vents unclogged and clean at all times.  
2. Regularly check to see if any dust or foreign matter  
has entered the grills near the motor and around  
the trigger switch. Use a soft brush to remove any  
accumulated dust. Wear safety glasses to protect your  
eyes whilst cleaning.  
WARNING. Do not use a dust extraction system or a  
vacuum cleaner when cutting metal. Sparks may ignite  
residual wood dust.  
Blade storage  
3. Re-lubricate all moving parts at regular intervals.  
Both sides of the shoe have  
blade storage area for one  
blade each. Slide the blade  
storage tab to the left for the  
left side or to the right for the  
right side. A blade can then  
be inserted or removed from  
the shoe.  
4. If the body of the saw needs cleaning, wipe it with a soft  
damp cloth. A mild detergent can be used but nothing like  
alcohol, petrol or other cleaning agent.  
5. Never use caustic agents to clean plastic parts.  
CAUTION. Water must never come into contact with  
the saw.
