The protruding blade may cut objects that can cause kickback. a. Check lower guard for proper closing before each use. Do not operate the saw if lower guard does not move freely and close instantly. Never clamp or tie the lower guard into the open position. If saw is accidentally dropped, lower guard may be bent. Raise the lower guard with the retracting handle and make sure it moves freely and does not touch the blade or any other part, in all angles and depths of cut. b. Check the operation of the lower guard spring. If the guard and the spring are not operating properly, they must be serviced before use. Lower guard may operate sluggishly due to damaged parts, gummy deposits, or a build-up of debris. c. Lower guard should be retracted manually only for special cuts such as “plunge cuts” and “compound cuts.” Raise lower guard by retracting handle and as soon as blade enters the material, the lower guard must be released. For all other sawing, the lower guard should operate automatically. d. Always observe that the lower guard is covering the blade before placing saw down on bench or floor. An unprotected, coasting blade will cause the saw to walk backwards, cutting whatever is in its path. Be aware of the time it takes for the blade to stop after switch is released. e. Do not use abrasive wheels. Accessories The GMC MPS184M Circular Saw is supplied with the following accessories as standard: 1. 36T thin-kerf (2.2mm) TCT blade (fitted) 2. Blade wrench 3. Rip fence 4. Wood cutting dust extraction adaptor 5. 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. 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.

It can even saw through wood containing nails! The finished cut is burr free and there are virtually no sparks. The saw utilises cold cutting technology and thus requires no coolant. The metal can be handled as soon as it is cut, saving time and adding to the safety of operation. By loosening the bevel adjustment lever (6), the body and the blade of the saw can be tilted to any angle up to 45° for making angle cuts. Please note that the maximum depth of cut is reduced when cutting at an angle. A fixed upper blade guard (17) encloses the upper part of the blade. As the saw advances through the work piece, the pivoting lower blade guard (15) is pushed back by the edge of the wood to expose only that part of the blade which is needed. When the blade clears the work, the spring loaded lower blade guard snaps back to completely enclose the blade. Adjusting the cutting depth CAUTION. Always ensure that the saw is switched off and unplugged from the power supply before making any adjustments. 1. Ensure that the saw is facing away from you. 2. Loosen the depth locking lever (19) (Fig. A). 3. Hold the base plate flat against the edge of the work piece and lift the body of the saw until the blade is at the right depth (Fig. B). Use the depth of cut indicator (20) to determine the cutting depth. 4. Tighten the depth locking lever (19). Note. Always use the correct blade depth setting. The correct blade depth setting for all cuts should not be more than (6.35mm) 1/4” below the material being cut. Allowing more depth will increase the chance of kickback and result in a rough cut. Note. The maximum depth of cut for mild steel plate is 6mm. Adjusting the bevel angle CAUTION. Always ensure that the saw is switched off and unplugged from the power supply before making any adjustments. 1. The saw can be adjusted to cut at any angle between 0° and 45°. 2. Loosen the bevel adjustment lever (6) located at the front of the base plate (Fig. C). 3. Tilt the body of the saw until the required angle is reached (Fig. D) using the bevel scale (7) as a guide. 4. Tighten th...
