WARNING.

 Before connecting a tool to a power source (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.
The tool must be used only for its prescribed purpose. 

Any use other than those mentioned in this Manual will 

be considered a case of misuse. The user and not the 

manufacturer shall be liable for any damage or injury resulting 

from such cases of misuse.
The manufacturer shall not be liable for any changes made to 

the tool nor for any damage resulting from such changes.
Even when the tool is used as prescribed it is not possible to 

eliminate all residual risk factors. The following hazards may 

arise in connection with the tool’s construction and design:

  Damage to hearing if effective earmuffs are not worn.

  Harmful emissions of wood dust when the machine is used in 

closed rooms. Always use supplementary dust extraction. 

  Always remove the plug from the mains socket before 

making any adjustments or maintenance, including changing 

the bit.

  Contact with the bit. 

  Reaching into the housing whilst the tool is running and 

making contact with the bit. 

  Kickback of workpiece and parts of workpiece.

  Bit fracture.

  Catapulting of faulty pieces from the bit.

  Do not use bits that are deformed or cracked.

  Always remove the plug from the mains socket before 

making any adjustments or maintenance, including changing 

the bit and setting the depth of cut.

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.
