•
Always use the auxiliary 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. Cheap
poor quality discs tend to glaze up which loads the
motor and can damage it. Use discs for their designated
purpose only. For instance, do not use cutting discs for
grinding or metal wheels on masonry.
•
Watch out for flying sparks. Hold the tool at an angle of
approximately 15º to 30º to the work piece surface.
•
Let the disc do the grinding or cutting at a reasonable
feed, as overloading will occur if too much pressure is
applied and the disc slows resulting in inefficient cutting
and possible damage to the motor.
•
When using the grinder, use safety equipment including
safety goggles or shield, ear protection, dust mask and
protective clothing including safety gloves.
ALWAYS WEAR EYE PROTECTION
Wear goggles
Wear hearing protection
Wear a breathing mask

Unpacking
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.
