and supported by the blade
guide (7).
2. Release the blade change
control and the blade will
secure firmly in place.
3. Replace the plug and run
the jigsaw under no load to
check that it runs smoothly
and the blade is secure
before using it to cut any
materials.
Dust extraction adaptor
The dust extraction adaptor (13) allows a dust extraction
system or a household vacuum cleaner to be connected to
the tool in order to remove dust whilst the tool is in use.
WARNING. Do not use a dust extraction system or a
vacuum cleaner when cutting metal. Sparks may ignite
residual wood dust.
Blade storage
Both sides of the shoe have
blade storage area for one
blade each. Slide the blade
storage tab to the left for the
left side or to the right for the
right side. A blade can then
be inserted or removed from
the shoe.

Using the GMC
laser guide system
®
Laser light assembly
The laser light is powered from a transformer housed within
®
the assembly. The GMC
improved operator cutting vision, accuracy of cut, faster
set-up and increased safety of operation.
Laser light on/off switch
The laser beam can be switched on and off using the
switch (1).
Laser aperture
®
When the GMC
laser guide is switched on, an intense
narrow beam of pure red light is emitted from the laser
aperture (15). The line shines along the work piece to guide
you as you cut. The line is clearly visible and will not be
obscured by sawdust.
Maintenance
WARNING. Always ensure that the tool is switched off and
the plug is removed from the power point before making any
adjustments or maintenance procedures.
1. Keep the tool's air vents unclogged and clean at all times.
2. Regularly check to see if any dust or foreign matter
has entered the grills near the motor and around
the trigger switch. Use a soft brush to remove any
accumulated dust. Wear safety glasses to protect your
eyes whilst cleaning.
3. Re-lubricate all moving parts at regular intervals.
4. If the body of the saw needs cleaning, wipe it with a soft
damp cloth. A mild detergent can be used but nothing like
alcohol, petrol or other cleaning agent.
5. Never use caustic agents to clean plastic parts.
CAUTION. Water must never come into contact with
the saw.
