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.

5

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 laser lights

The laser light/laser radiation used in the GMC REDEYE®
system is Class 2 with maximum 1mW and 650nm
wavelengths. 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.

Additional safety rules for circular saws

WARNING! The warnings, precautions, and instructions

discussed in this manual cannot cover all possible
conditions and situations that may occur. The operator must
understand that common sense and caution are factors
which cannot be built into this product, but must be supplied
by the operator.

DANGER

a. Keep hands away from cutting area and the blade.

Keep your second hand on auxiliary handle, or motor
housing. If both hands are holding the saw, they cannot
be cut by the blade.

b. Do not reach underneath the workpiece. The guard

cannot protect you from the blade below the workpiece.

c. Adjust the cutting depth to the thickness of the

workpiece.

Less than a full tooth of the blade teeth

should be visible below the workpiece.

d. Never hold piece being cut in your hands or across

your leg.

Secure the workpiece to a stable platform. It is
important to support the work properly to minimize body
exposure, blade binding, or loss of control.

e. Hold power tool by insulated gripping surfaces when

performing an operation where the cutting tool may
contact hidden wiring or its own cord.

Contact with
a “live” wire will also make exposed metal parts of the
power tool “live” and shock the operator.

f. When ripping always use a rip fence or straight edge

guide.

This improves the accuracy of cut and reduces

the chance of blade binding.

g. Always use blades with correct size and shape

(diamond versus round) of arbour holes.

Blades that
do not match the mounting hardware of the saw will run
eccentrically, causing loss of control.

h. Never use damaged or incorrect blade washers or

bolt.

The blade washers and bolt were specially designed
for your saw, for optimum performance and safety of
operation.

Causes and operator prevention of kickback:

• Kickback is a sudden reaction to a pinched, bound or

misaligned saw blade, causing an uncontrolled saw to lift
up and out of the workpiece toward the operator;

• When the blade is pinched or bound tightly by the kerf

closing down, the blade stalls and the motor reaction
drives the unit rapidly back toward the operator;

• If the blade becomes twisted or misaligned in the cut, the

teeth at the back edge of the blade can dig into the top
surface of the wood causing the blade to climb out of the
kerf and jump back toward the operator.

Kickback is the result of saw misuse and/or incorrect
operating procedures or conditions and can be avoided by
taking proper precautions as given below.

a. Maintain a firm grip with both hands on the saw and

position your arms to resist kickback forces.

Position
your body to either side of the blade, but not in line
with the blade. Kickback could cause the saw to jump
backwards, but kickback forces can be controlled by the
operator, if proper precautions are taken.

b. When blade is binding, or when interrupting a cut

for any reason, release the trigger and hold the saw
motionless in the material until the blade comes to
a complete stop. Never attempt to remove the saw

from the work or pull the saw backward while the blade
is in motion or kickback may occur. Investigate and take
corrective actions to eliminate the cause of blade binding.

c. When restarting a saw in the workpiece, centre the

saw blade in the kerf and check that saw teeth are
not engaged into the material.

If saw blade is binding, it
may walk up or kickback from the workpiece as the saw
is restarted.

d. Support large panels to minimise the risk of blade

pinching and kickback.

Large panels tend to sag under
their own weight. Supports must be placed under the
panel on both sides, near the line of cut and near the
edge of the panel.

7

e.

Do not use dull or damaged blades. Unsharpened

or improperly set blades produce narrow kerf causing
excessive friction, blade binding and kickback.

f. Blade depth and bevel adjusting locking levers

must be tight and secure before making cut.

If blade
adjustment shifts while cutting, it may cause binding and
kickback.

g. Use extra caution when making a “plunge cut” into

existing walls or other blind areas.

The protruding

blade may cut objects that can cause kickback.

The protruding blade may cut objects that can
cause kickback.

a.

Check lower guard for proper closing before each

use.

Do not operate the saw if lower guard does not
move freely and close instantly. Never clamp or tie the
lower guard into the open position. If saw is accidentally
dropped, lower guard may be bent. Raise the lower guard
with the retracting handle and make sure it moves freely
and does not touch the blade or any other part, in all
angles and depths of cut.

b. Check the operation of the lower guard spring. If the

guard and the spring are not operating properly, they
must be serviced before use. Lower guard may operate
sluggishly due to damaged parts, gummy deposits, or a
build-up of debris.

c. Lower guard should be retracted manually only for

special cuts such as “plunge cuts” and “compound
cuts.”

Raise lower guard by retracting handle and as
soon as blade enters the material, the lower guard must
be released. For all other sawing, the lower guard should
operate automatically.

d. Always observe that the lower guard is covering the

blade before placing saw down on bench or floor.

An unprotected, coasting blade will cause the saw to
walk backwards, cutting whatever is in its path. Be aware
of the time it takes for the blade to stop after switch is
released.

e. Do not use Abrasive wheels

Overview

You have purchased an 1800W Magnesium Circular Saw
with the GMC REDEYE

®

laser line generator system.

Please refer to the safety instructions given earlier in this
manual for important instructions regarding the use of the laser.

The saw is capable of ripping and cross cutting hardwoods,
softwoods and man made boards quickly, accurately and safely.

By loosening the bevel adjustment knob (9), the body and
the blade of the saw can be tilted to any angle up to 55° for
making angle cuts. Please note that the maximum depth of
cut is reduced when cutting at an angle.

A fixed upper blade guard (16) encloses the upper part of
the blade. As the saw advances through the work piece,
the pivoting lower blade guard (14) is pushed back by the
edge of the wood to expose only that part of the blade
which is needed. When the blade clears the work, the
spring loaded lower blade guard snaps back to completely
enclose the blade.

Adjusting the cutting depth

CAUTION. Always ensure that the saw is switched off

and unplugged from the power supply before making
any adjustments.

1. Ensure that the saw is facing away from you.

2. Loosen the depth locking lever (18) (Fig. A).

3. Hold the base plate flat against the edge of the work
piece and lift the body of the saw until the blade is at the
right depth (Fig. B). Use the depth of cut indicator (19) to
determine the cutting depth.

4. Tighten the depth locking lever (18).

Note. Always use the correct blade depth setting.

The correct blade depth setting for all cuts should not be
more than (6.35mm) 1/4” below the material being cut.
Allowing more depth will increase the chance of kickback
and result in a rough cut.

Adjusting the bevel angle

CAUTION. Always ensure that the saw is switched off

and unplugged from the power supply before making
any adjustments.

1. The saw can be adjusted to cut at any angle between
0° and 55°. When making 45° bevel cuts, there is a
notch (23) in the saw base to help you line up the blade
with the line of cut. Align your line of cut with the inner
blade guide notch on the base of the saw when making
45° bevel cuts.

2. Loosen the bevel adjustment knob (9) located at the front
of the base plate (Fig. C).

3. Tilt the body of the
saw until the required angle
is reached (Fig. D) using the
bevel scale (10) as a guide.

4. Tighten the bevel adjustment
knob (9) to secure the base
plate (Fig. E).

Note.

Always make a trial cut in a scrap piece of material
along a guideline to determine how much you should offset
the blade from the guideline to make an accurate cut.

Switching on and off

1. Connect the plug to the power supply.

2. Depress the lock-off button (5) (Fig. F) and squeeze the

trigger switch (4) (Fig. G).

3. The blade will take approximately 2 seconds to reach

full speed.

4. When you release the trigger, the machine turns off

and the lock-off button re-engages to prevent
accidental operation.

CAUTION. Allow the blade to come to a complete standstill

before setting the saw down.

Making a cut

1. Mark the line of cut on the work piece.

2. Adjust the depth of cut and bevel angle as required.

3. When making 90° cross or rip

cuts, align your line of cut with
the outer blade guide notch on
the base of the saw (Fig. H).

4. When making 45° bevel cuts,

align your line of cut with the
inner blade guide notch on the
base of the saw.

5. Rest the front edge of the

base on the work piece (Fig. I).

6. Start the motor by depressing
the lock-off button (5) and
squeezing the trigger
switch (4).

Note. Always let the blade reach

full speed (approximately
2 seconds) before you begin to
cut into the work piece.

7. Slowly push the saw forward
using both hands (Fig. J).

8. When making a cut always
use steady, even pressure.
Forcing the saw causes rough
cuts and could shorten the life
of the saw or cause kickback.
Allow the blade and the saw to
do the work.

9. After completing your cut, release the trigger switch
and allow the blade to come to a complete stop.
Do not remove the saw from the work piece while the
blade is moving.

Note. Since blade thickness varies, always make a trial

cut in scrap material along the guideline to determine how
much, if any, the guideline must be offset to get an
accurate cut.

Making a pocket cut

1. Adjust the depth of cut as
required.

2. Adjust the bevel setting to 0°.

3. Raise the lower blade guard
lever (13) to expose the saw
blade and firmly rest the
front of the base flat against
the work piece with the rear
handle raised so the blade does not
touch the work piece (Fig. K).

5. Always let the blade reach full speed (approximately 2
seconds) before you begin to cut into the work piece.

6. Slowly lower the saw into the work piece, using the front
of the base resting on the work piece as a hinge point.

WARNING. As soon as the blade starts cutting the material,

release the lower blade guard lever.

7. Once the base plate (15) is flat against the work piece,
proceed cutting in a forward direction to the end of
the cut.

8. After completing your cut, release the trigger switch
and allow the blade to come to a complete stop.
Do not remove the saw from the work piece while the
blade is moving.

Note. If the corners of your pocket cut are not completely

cut through, use a jigsaw or hand saw to finish the corners.

Using the parallel fence

The parallel fence (12) allows you to make parallel cuts
in a sheet of wood, all at the same width.

CAUTION. Always ensure that the saw is switched off

and unplugged from the power supply before making
any adjustments.

1. Loosen the parallel fence locking knob (11) (Fig. L).

2. Slide the parallel fence (12) through the parallel fence
slots (24) in the base plate (15) (Fig. M).

3. Adjust the parallel fence to the
required width and secure it in
position with the parallel fence
locking knob (11).

4. Ensure that the parallel
fence rests against the
wood along its entire length
to give a consistent parallel
cut (Fig. N).

Using the REDEYE® system

WARNING. Before proceeding to use the REDEYE® laser

line system, ensure that the

Additional safety rules for

laser lights

section is read and fully understood.

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.

Only turn laser beam on when tool is on work piece.

1. Mark the line of the cut on the work piece.

2. Adjust the depth of cut and bevel angle as required.

3. Rest the front edge of the base on the work piece.
