• Do not vacuum anything that is burning or smoking, such as cigarettes, matches, or hot ashes. • To avoid health hazards from vapors or dust, do not vacuum toxic materials. • Do not use or store near hazardous materials. • Do not use outdoors or on wet surfaces. • Put unit on a stable surface. • Route vacuum hose and electric cord out of traffic areas. • To avoid injury from accidental starting, unplug power cord before changing or cleaning filter/dust bag or chip bag. • Do not use without filter/dust bag and/or chip bag in place. • Turn off controls before unplugging. 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.

The dust collector housing features a high speed fan that can amputate fingers, grab loose clothing and neckties, or propel dust at high velocities. CAUTION. This dust collector does not eliminate the need to wear a protective dust mask. Always follow the safety recommendations from the manufacturer or supplier of the material being cut and collected in the dust collector. DO NOT OPERATE WITHOUT ALL PARTS IN PLACE! Do not attempt to clean, remove dust bags or service unit while in operation. Disconnect from the power source. Attaching the wheels The wheel castors allow the dust collector to be moved easily around the work area. 1. Place the dust collector on its side. 2. Screw one castor wheel (5) into each corner of the base (fig. A). 3. To secure the wheels onto the base tighten the hex nut on each wheel using a 14mm wrench (fig. B). Note. When fitting the last castor wheel, screw the wheel in sufficiently to allow all four wheels to be in contact with the floor surface. Attaching the hose 1. Fit the hose clamp (8) over the end of the hose (7) but do not tighten the clamp (fig. C). 2. Fit the hose onto the inlet (2) (fig. D). 3. Ensure it is pushed all the way on and is secure on the inlet cover. C D E 4. Tighten the hose clamp using a flat end screwdriver to secure the hose on the inlet (fig. E). Attaching the 2 way adaptor The 2 way adaptor (9) allows up to 2 tools to be operated at the same time. 1. Fit the hose clamp (8) onto the end of the hose (7) but do not tighten (fig. F). A B F G 2. Fit the 2 way adaptor (9) onto the end of the hose (fig. G). 7 3. Ensure it is pushed all the way on and is secure on the hose. 4. Tighten the hose clamp using a flat end screwdriver to secure the 2 way adaptor onto the hose (fig. H). 5. When using only 1 tool fit the cap onto the end of the other hole in the 2 way adaptor (fig. I). H I Attaching the dust bag 1. Fit the dust bag over the outlet (3) (fig. J). 2. Place the dust bag strap through the metal clamp. 3. Pull the strap to secure the dust bag on the outlet cover (fig. K). J Turning on and off 1. Insert the switch disabling insert and ensure the switch (1) is in the OFF position (fig. L). K L 2. Lift the switch to the ON position (I) to turn on and operate the dust collector (fig. M). 3. Push the switch down to the OFF position (0) to turn off the dust collector (fig. N). M N Operation 1. Fit the hose onto the inlet. 2. If the dust outlet on the power tool is 100mm in diameter the hose can be connected directly onto the power tool. 3. If the power tool has a smaller outlet fit the 2 way adaptor onto the end of the hose. Connect a smaller diameter hose (not supplied) onto the adaptor and connect this to your power tool. Note. The 2 way adaptor is designed for fine dust ie. sanding dust. If larger particles are being collected and blocking occurs remove the cap to draw air into the hose and increase airflow. Emptying the dust bag The dust bag can be emptied either on or off the dust collector. The bag should be emptied when the dust bag is approximately half full, performance will deteriorate as the dust in the dust bag exceeds this level. Ensure that the zip is not opened or the dust bag is not removed from the dust collector until the dust collector is turned off and the impellor has completely stopped rotating. Failure to do this can result in dust particles being distributed in the air. It is best to place the dust bag into a large garbage bag and then empty the dust directly into the garbage bag. 8 Maintenance WARNING. Always ensure that the tool is switched off and...
