Use of the power tool for operations different from intended could result in a hazardous situation. Service • Have your power tool serviced by a qualified repair personnel using only identical replacement parts. This will ensure that the safety of the power tool is maintained. Additional safety rules for angle grinders • Fully unwind cable drum extensions to avoid potential overheating. • When an extension cable is required, you must ensure that it has the right ampere rating for your power tool and is in safe electrical condition. • Always switch off before you put the angle grinder down. • Do not let anyone under 18 years operate this tool. • Rags, cloths, cord, string and the like should never be left around the work area. • If you are interrupted when operating the tool, complete the process and switch off before looking up. • Periodically check that all nuts, bolts and other fixings are properly tightened. • Check the disc before mounting it into the angle grinder. Check by striking it with a wooden handle whilst balancing the disc on your finger. Listen for the ring and do not use if dull, as the disc may be cracked. • When the disc is installed, run it for at least one minute to ensure that it does not have a fault. It is always advisable to stay out of the line of the disc when testing or when using the tool. • Do not use a disc marked with a lower RPM than that of the no load speed shown on the rating plate. • Use discs only of the prescribed diameter. • Do not use the angle grinder for buffing or polishing under any circumstances. • Never try to operate the angle grinder without the guard in place. • Do not secure the angle grinder in a vice or work bench and use it as a static grinder. It can lead to serious injury. • Never apply excessive pressure to the disc. It might shatter causing personal injury. • Ensure the work piece to be ground or cut, is held tight in the vice or other clamping system. 5 • 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. 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 15. to 30. 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 Contents of carton The GMC MX100MAG Angle Grinder is supplied with the following accessories as standard: • Pin wrench • Side handle • 100mm metal cutting disc • Instruction manual Unpacking Due to modern mass production techniques, it is unlikely that your GMC Power Tool is faulty or that a part is missing.
