Introduction

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.

You will find your new tool easy and safe to operate,
and, with proper care, it will give you many years
of dependable service.

CAUTION. Carefully read through this entire Instruction

Manual before using your new GMC Power Tool. Take
special care to heed the Cautions and Warnings.

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.

Environmental protection

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

.

WARNINGS

1. It may be more difficult to see the laser line in
conditions of bright sunshine and on certain surfaces.

2. When storing the tool, remove the batteries in case
of leakage.

3. Batteries or damage due to leaking batteries are not
covered under warranty.

Safety rules for laser lights

The laser light/laser radiation used in the GMC REDEYE®
system is Class 2 with maximum 1mW power and 650nm
wavelength. These lasers do not normally present an optical
hazard, although staring at the beam may cause flash
blindness.

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;

• The laser shall be used and maintained in accordance

with the manufacturer’s instructions.

• Never aim the beam at any person or an object other

than the work piece.

• 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.

• 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.

• 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.

CAUTION. Use of controls or adjustments or performance

of procedures other than those specified herein may result
in hazardous radiation exposure.

Please refer to the relevant Australian standards, AS 2397
and AS/NZS2211 for more information on Lasers.

General safety rules

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.

Save these instructions

1. Work area
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.

c. Keep children and bystanders away while operating a

power tool. Distractions can cause you to lose control.

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.

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.

c. Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions.

Water entering a power tool will increase the risk of
electric shock.

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Additional safety rules for jigsaws

WARNING. 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
