• Always remove the plug from the mains socket before making any adjustments or maintenance, including changing the blade. WARNINGS. Before connecting a tool to a power source (mains switch 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. Wear goggles Wear earmuffs Wear a breathing mask Contents of carton The GMC MXR56 Reciprocating Saw is supplied with the following accessories as standard: • Allen key • Wood cutting blade • 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.

Always ensure that the saw is switched off and unplugged from the mains supply before installing or removing a blade. 1. Open the blade clamp (4) by rotating it in an anti- clockwise direction. This will retract the pin and allow the saw blade to be inserted. 2. Whilst holding the blade clamp assembly open, line up and insert the new saw blade. Let go of the blade clamp assembly to lock the saw blade in position. 3. Pull on the blade to ensure it is securely fastened. WARNING. Make sure that the blade is securely fastened before starting the saw. Failure to do so may result in serious injury. Switching on and off 1. Connect the plug to the mains supply. 2. To start the saw, press the lock-off button (3) and squeeze the trigger switch (1). 3. There is no need to keep the lock-off button depressed once the saw has started. However, if the trigger switch is released, the lock-off button will re-engage as a safety precaution to prevent accidental operation. In order to restart the saw, the both the lock-off button and the trigger switch must be pressed again. Varying the speed Vary the speed to suit the blade and the material being cut with the use of the speed control knob (2). Changing the position of the shoe WARNING. Always ensure that the saw is switched off and unplugged from the mains supply before making any adjustments. 1. Loosen the two shoe adjustment screws (8) with a hex key (9) and position the shoe (5) to shield the length of saw blade as required. 2. Re-tighten the shoe adjustment screws (8). Take care not to overtighten the screws or you will strip the thread. 3. Position the angle of the shoe as required by pivoting it on its axis (6). CAUTION. Do not operate the reciprocating saw if the adjustable shoe is not installed. 8 General cutting 1. Hold the saw firmly in front and clearly away from you. 2. Make sure that the blade is clear of any obstruction and that the power cord or any extension cord is out of the path of the blade. 3. Ensure that the material to be cut is held firmly. Small work pieces should be held in a vice or clamped to the workbench. 4. Mark out the cutting line. 5. Press the lock-off button and squeeze the trigger. 6. Wait until the saw has reached maximum speed. 7. Place the shoe on the work piece and begin sawing. NOTE. Use only enough pressure to keep the saw cutting. Do not force the cutting; allow the blade and the saw to do the work. WARNING. Use of excessive pressure that causes bending or twisting of the blade may cause the blade to break. Plunge cutting 1. Mark the line of the cut. 2. Choose a point inside the area to be cut out and place the tip of the blade over that point. 3. Rest the front edge of the shoe on the work piece and hold the saw firmly in position. 4. Press the lock-off button and squeeze the trigger to start the cutting action. WARNING. Make sure that the blade does not touch the work piece until the blade has reached maximum speed since this could cause loss of control and serious injury. Metal cutting Metals such as sheet steel, pipe, steel rods, aluminium, brass and copper can be cut with your saw. Be careful not to bend or twist the blade and do not force the cutting action. We recommend that you use cutting oil to lubricate the cut when sawing soft metals and steel. It keeps the blade cooler and prolongs blade life. Caution. Clamp the work firmly and cut close to the clamping point to minimise vibration. When cutting conduit pipe or angle iron, clamp the work in a vice if possible and cut close to th...
