Introduction Description of symbols 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.
Personal safety • 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. • 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.
• 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.
• Always use the side handle and ensure a good grip on the grinder housing with one hand and the handle with the other hand before proceeding with any work. • Make sure that the disc is not in contact with the work when you start the grinder. • Be careful not to damage the spindle or either of the disc flanges. Damage to these parts could result in disc breakage. • Do not press the spindle lock button whilst the spindle is turning. • Only use good quality grinding and cut off discs.

Setting up Operation Multi-position side handle Screw the side handle (6) into the most suitable mounting port (4) (left side or right side) to suit the application. Ensure that the handle is fully screwed in place and firm. This angle grinder can be used for grinding and cutting steel, stone or ceramic workpieces such as pipe, box section, rectangular, angle iron steel bar, house bricks and tiles. Do not attempt to grind wood or a soft metal such as lead.
WARNING. Avoid flying sparks and ensure they do not hit any inflammable materials, as they are very hot and could cause personal injury or a fire. WARNING. The disc continues to turn for a few seconds even though the switch is turned off. Keep your hands well away from the moving disc. NOTE. Depending on whether the disc has a flat inner section or a depressed inner section, proceed as follows. 6.
Lubrication The grease in the gearbox will require replacement after extensive use of the tool. Please go to a qualified service agent to perform this service. Power cord maintenance If the supply cord needs replacing, the task must be carried out by the manufacturer, the manufacturer’s agent, or an authorised service centre in order to avoid a safety hazard. Cleaning 1. Keep the tool’s air vents unclogged and clean at all times. 2. Remove dust and dirt regularly. Cleaning is best done with a rag.
