Maintenance - GMC AG230MGSS Mode D'emploi

Cutting
WARNING: Always ensure that the correct guard (optional accessory)
for use with cutting discs or superabrasive wheels is installed.
Note: This machine is not designed for wet cutting.
• Only use discs specifically manufactured for cutting operations.
Stone and metal cutting discs are not interchangeable, use the
correct disc for your application
• Never use cutting discs for grinding operations. The disc might
shatter and produce projectiles that could injure the operator
and bystanders
• When cutting, always keep the angle of the disc constant. Do not
apply any sideways force to cutting discs, as this might lead to the
disc becoming jammed in the cut and shattering
WARNING: Do not apply too much pressure to the machine whilst
cutting. Excessive pressure does not result in more effective or faster
cutting, but will in fact cause premature wear of the cutting disc and
increase wear and tear on the machine.
Note: The cutting disc will wear during use, and the disc diameter
will gradually reduce in size. The smaller the disc becomes, the more
strain will be placed on the motor. To avoid damage to the machine,
only use cutting discs that are within approximately 25% of the
original size.
Accessories
• A wide range of compatible accessories, including the cutting
wheel guard, grinding and cutting discs for different materials,
as well as diamond wheels is available from your GMC stockist

Maintenance

WARNING: Always remove the plug from the mains power supply
before carrying out any maintenance/cleaning.
Cleaning
• Keep your machine clean at all times. Dirt and dust will cause
internal parts to wear quickly, shortening 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
