Maintenance
WARNING: ALWAYS disconnect from the power supply before carrying out any inspection, maintenance
or cleaning.
General inspection
• Regularly check that all the fixing screws are tight
• Inspect the supply cord of the tool, prior to each use, for damage or wear. Repairs should be carried out
by an authorised GMC service centre. This advice also applies to extension cords used with this tool
Cleaning
• Keep your tool clean at all times. Dirt and dust will cause internal parts to wear quickly, and shorten the
machine's service life. Clean the body of your machine with a soft brush, or dry cloth. If available, use
clean, dry, compressed air to blow through the ventilation holes
• Clean the tool casing with a soft damp cloth using a mild detergent. Do not use alcohol, petrol or strong
cleaning agents
• Never use caustic agents to clean plastic parts
Note: Be especially careful to clean the machine thoroughly if used for both wood and metal. Sparks from
metalwork can easily ignite wood dust.
Lubrication
• Slightly lubricate all moving parts at regular intervals with a suitable spray lubricant
Brushes
• Over time the carbon brushes inside the motor may become worn
• Excessively worn brushes may cause loss of power, intermittent failure, or visible sparking
• To replace the brushes:
1. Remove the Brush Cover (7) from both sides of the tool
2. Remove the worn brushes and replace with new
3. Replace the Brush Covers
• Alternatively, have the tool serviced at an authorised GMC service centre
Note: Always replace carbon brushes in pairs.
