CAUTION. Carefully read through this entire Instruction

Manual before using your new GMC Power Tool. Take

special care to heed the Cautions and Warnings.

Your GMC power tool has many features that will make

your job faster and easier. Safety, performance, and

dependability have been given top priority in the

development of this tool, making it easy to maintain

and operate.

Environmental protection

Recycle unwanted materials instead

of disposing of them as waste. All tools,

hoses and packaging should be sorted,

taken to the local recycling centre and

disposed of in an environmentally safe way.

General safety rules

WARNING Read all instructions. Failure to follow all

instructions listed below may result in electric shock,

fire and/or serious injury. The term “power tool” in all of

the warnings listed below refers to your mains operated

(corded) power tool or battery operated (cordless)

power tool.

Save these instructions.

1. Work area

a. Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered and dark

areas invite accidents.

b. Do not operate power tools in explosive

atmospheres, such as in the presence of flammable

liquids, gases or dust. Power tools create sparks which

may ignite the dust or fumes.

c. Keep children and bystanders away while operating a

power tool. Distractions can cause you to lose control.

2. Electrical safety

a. Power tool plugs must match the outlet. Never modify

the plug in any way. Do not use any adapter plugs with

earthed (grounded) power tools. Unmodified plugs and

matching outlets will reduce risk of electric shock.

b. Avoid body contact with earthed or grounded

surfaces such as pipes, radiators, ranges and

refrigerators. There is an increased risk of electric shock

if your body is earthed or grounded.

c. Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions.

Water entering a power tool will increase the risk of

electric shock.

d. Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord for

carrying, pulling or unplugging the power tool.

Keep cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges or moving

parts. Damaged or entangled cords increase the risk of

electric shock.

e. When operating a power tool outdoors, use an

extension cord suitable for outdoor use. Use of a cord

suitable for outdoor use reduces the risk of electric shock.

3. Personal safety

a. Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use

common sense when operating a power tool. Do

not use a power tool while you are tired or under the

influence of drugs, alcohol or medication. A moment of

inattention while operating power tools may result in

serious personal injury.

b. Use safety equipment. Always wear eye protection.

Safety equipment such as dust mask, non-skid

safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing protection used for

appropriate conditions will reduce personal injuries.

c. Avoid accidental starting. Ensure the switch is in the

off position before plugging in. Carrying power tools with

your finger on the switch or plugging in power tools that

have the switch on invites accidents.

d. Remove any adjusting key or wrench before turning

the power tool on. A wrench or a key left attached to

a rotating part of the power tool may result in personal

injury.

e. Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at

all times. This enables better control of the power tool in

unexpected situations.

f. Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or

jewellery. Keep your hair, clothing and gloves away from

moving parts. Loose clothes, jewellery or long hair can be

caught in moving parts.

g. If devices are provided for the connection of dust

extraction and collection facilities, ensure these are

connected and properly used. Use of these devices

can reduce dust related hazards.

4. Power tool use and care

a. Do not force the power tool. Use the correct power tool

for your application. The correct power tool will do the job

better and safer at the rate for which it was designed.

b. Do not use the power tool if the switch does not turn

it on and off. Any power tool that cannot be controlled

with the switch is dangerous and must be repaired.

c. Disconnect the plug from the power source before

making any adjustments, changing accessories, or

storing power tools. Such preventive safety measures

reduce the risk of starting the power tool accidentally.

d. Store idle power tools out of the reach of children

and do not allow persons unfamiliar with the power

tool or these instructions to operate the power tool.

Power tools are dangerous in the hands of untrained

users.

e. Maintain power tools. Check for misalignment or

binding of moving parts, breakage of parts and

any other condition that may affect the power tools

operation. If damaged, have the power tool repaired

before use. Many accidents are caused by poorly

maintained power tools.

f. Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly

maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting edges are less

likely to bind and are easier to control.

g. Use the power tool, accessories and tool bits etc.,

in accordance with these instructions and in the

manner intended for the particular type of power

tool, taking into account the working conditions and

the work to be performed. Use of the power tool for

operations different from those intended could result in a

hazardous situation.

5. Service

a. Have your power tool serviced by a qualified repair

person using only identical replacement parts. This

will ensure that the safety of the power tool is maintained.

Additional safety rules for biscuit joiners

• Hold tool by insulated gripping surfaces when performing an

operation where the cutting tools may contact hidden wiring

or its own cord. Contact with a “live” wire will make exposed

metal parts of the tool “live” and shock the operator.

• Fully unwind cable drum extensions to avoid potential

overheating.

• When an extension cable is required, you must ensure

that it has the right ampere rating for your power tool

and is in safe electrical condition.

• Ensure your mains supply voltage is the same as your

tool rating plate voltage.

• If possible, always use clamps or a vice to hold your work.

• Always switch off before you put the biscuit joiner down.

• Ensure that the lighting is adequate.

• Keep the area free of tripping hazards.

• Do not let anyone under 18 years operate this tool.

• Only use accessory blades that are in good condition.

• Do not touch the blade after operation. It will be hot.

• Keep yours hands away from under the workpiece.

• Never use your hands to remove chips or waste close by

the blade.

• Rags, cloths, cord, string and the like should never be left

around the work area.

• Support the work properly.

• Periodically check that all nuts, bolts and other fixings are

properly tightened.

• When using the tool, use safety equipment including

safety glasses or shield, ear protection, and protective

clothing including safety gloves. Wear a dust mask if the

operation creates dust.

• 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

Overview

The biscuit joiner is designed for the cutting and joining

of dressed timber. It provides an accurate, effective and

convenient alternative to other means of jointing such as

dowelling and can be particularly useful for edge jointing long

boards of natural wood or manufactured sheeting.

The 100mm TCT blade is plunged into the wood to the

required depth, which is pre-set depending on the biscuit to

be used.

Biscuit No. Width Length

#0 16mm 48mm

#10 20mm 52mm

#20 24mm 60mm

PVA wood glue is applied and the biscuit is inserted into

the elliptical slot that is left by the blade. As the glue sets,

the water content in the glue is absorbed into and expands

the biscuit, resulting in an extremely strong joint.

Note. You must use PVA glue designed for woodworking

applications

The adjustable fence allows the height and angle of the

blade to be positioned to suit different joint requirements.

The depth of cut can be set on the depth of cut control dial,

depending on the biscuit to be used. The joiner can also be

used to create a continuous groove, the width of which can

be increased simply by adjusting the fence up or down and

carrying out several passes.

Adjusting the cutting depth

The depth of cut can be set to match the dimensions of the

particular size biscuit being used.

The numbers on the depth adjustment dial (0, 10 & 20)

coincide with the three most common biscuit sizes. The

letter ‘M’ stands for maximum depth capacity of the tool.

The table below indicates the cutting depth for each setting.

Depth Setting Depth of Cut

0 8mm

10 10mm

20 12mm

Max 14mm

The width of a biscuit may vary slightly due to variances in

manufacture. The blade has been designed to allow fitment

of up to the largest biscuits in the slot cut.

1. To select a depth, align the

appropriate number with the

mark on the tool’s housing

that matches with the size

of biscuit you will be using.

Rotate the depth adjustment

dial (5) to the desired position

until it “clicks” into place (fig A).

#0 = 16mm x 48mm

#10 = 20mm x 52mm

#20 = 24mm x 60mm

#10

#20

Adjusting the secondary handle

1. Using an Allen key loosen the set screw on each side of

the handle (fig B).

2. Position the handle to the desired position (fig C).

3. Tighten the 2 hex screws to secure the handle in position.

Fitting the height and

bevel adjustment fence

1. Attach the height and bevel

adjustment fence to the main

fence by sliding it over the top

of the main fence (fig D).

Adjusting the bevel angle

The adjustable tilt feature allows

slots to be cut on a bevelled edge.

1. Loosen the bevel adjustment knob (9) by rotating it in an

anti-clockwise direction (fig E).

2. Move the fence to the desired angle between 0° and 90°

using the bevel scale (8) and pointer as

a guide (fig F).

3. Tighten the bevel adjustment

knob (9) to secure the

fence in position (fig G).

Adjusting the cutting

height

The height of the fence can be

adjusted to let you make biscuit

slots at different depths down

from the surface of the workpiece.

1. Ensure that the fence is set at 0°.

2. Position fence (7) to the desired height using the scale

(10) on the main fence as a guide (fig H).

3. Tighten the height adjustment knob (10) by rotating it in a

clockwise direction to secure the fence in position (fig I).

Anti-slip rubber grips

Biscuit jointers tend to pull to the

right when making a cut. The

anti-slip rubber grips have been

provided to reduce this effect

and help keep the biscuit joiner

steady on the workpiece (fig J).

Changing the blade

CAUTION. Always ensure that the biscuit joiner is switched

off and unplugged from the power supply before making any

adjustments.

1. Loosen and remove the 4 screws on the base of the

biscuit joiner.

2. Remove the base plate to reveal the blade (fig K).

3. Whilst holding the spindle lock button (2) rotate the blade

by hand until the blade locks in place (fig L).

4. Whilst depressing the spindle lock button, turn the blade

flange anti-clockwise using the pin wrench provided

(fig M).

5. Remove the outer blade flange (fig N).

6. Remove the blade from the inner flange.

7. Clean the blade flanges thoroughly before mounting the

new blade. Wipe a drop of oil onto the inner and outer

flange where they will touch the blade.

8. Mount the new blade onto the spindle and against the

inner flange.

9. Replace the outer flange and tighten.

10. Ensure that the spindle lock button is released.

WARNING. The direction in which the blade rotates has to

be the same as the direction of the arrow marked on

the housing.

IMPORTANT. After replacing the cutting blade, check that it

runs freely by first testing if it spins by hand.

11. Replace the base plate and secure with the 4 screws.

12. Plug the machine into a power socket and run the

biscuit joiner under no load to check that it runs

smoothly before using it to cut any material.

Turning on and off

1. Connect the plug to the power point.

2. Push the on/off switch (1) forward and up over the

latching ramp to lock the switch on (fig O).

3. Once cutting is finished, pull in and release the on/off

switch (1) to stop the motor (fig P).

WARNING. The blade continues to turn for a few seconds

even though the switch is turned off. Keep your hands well

away from the moving blade.
