Introduction Description of symbols Your new GMC power tool will more than satisfy your expectations. It has been manufactured under stringent GMC Quality Standards to meet superior performance criteria. You will find your new tool easy and safe to operate, and, with proper care, it will give you many years of dependable service. CAUTION. Carefully read through this entire Instruction Manual before using your new GMC Power Tool. Take special care to heed the Cautions and Warnings.
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.
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.
• Never directly inhale the compressed air produced by a compressor and do not use it for charging breathing tanks. • Do not use welding equipment in close proximity to the compressor. Do not weld anything to the air tank of the compressor: this could dangerously weaken the tank and will void the warranty. • Do not use the compressor outdoors when it is raining or on a wet surface; either situation could cause an electric shock. • Always shut off the compressor after use and before servicing.
The following hazards may arise in connection with the tool’s construction and design: • Damage to the lungs if an effective breathing mask is not worn. • Damage to hearing if effective earmuffs are not worn. • Damage to the eyes if effective safety goggles or shield are not worn. WARNING. In the event that an air line is cut or broken, the air line needs to be immediately disconnected from the compressor at the quick release fitting. This will automatically stop the air from free flowing.

WARNING. Be aware that pressurised air will be discharged from the outlet and care should be taken that this discharge is not directed towards you the operator, or other persons within the area. 9. To stop the compressor, push the yellow “On/Off” (1) switch to the “off” setting. To start the air compressor 1. Check the rating label on the compressor indicates 230V-240V. 2. Make sure that the selected location for the compressor is clean, dry, well ventilated and without any obstruction. 3.
To increase the regulated air pressure rotate the pressure regulating knob clockwise. To decrease the regulated air pressure rotate the regulating knob anti-clockwise. When setting the the regulated outlet pressure always start with the pressure being low, working your way up to the desired regulated pressure. Note. Ifyou do not allow the air to discharge while you are setting the regulator, the pressure as indicated on the regulated outlet gauge will be incorrect.
3. Connect the completed assembly to the air line by pulling back the outer sleeve of the quick coupler at the end of the air hose and insert the quick change blower assembly. Once inserted, release the outer sleeve of the coupling and make sure the accessory and hose are securely connected. For instructions on how to assemble the accessories to the outlet side of the quick release blow gun refer to page 12 of this manual. J 4. To discharge the air from the gun, squeeze the trigger (Fig. J).
4. Firmly press the tyre inflator down; doing so opens both the valve on the tyre and the valve on in the tyre inflator allowing air to flow through. Use a tyre gauge to check air pressure in the tyres. Check the ratings printed on the side walls of the tyre that you are inflating for reference as to the recommended maximum air pressure requirement. DO NOT EXCEED the maximum pressure ratings on the tyre you are inflating. IMPORTANT.
Troubleshooting continued Problem Possible cause Suggested remedy Vibration or abnormal noise Loose part Use authorised service centre to check and repair if necessary Foreign body in main compressor Use authorised service centre to check and clean if necessary Piston connecting with the valve seat Use authorised service centre to increase size of gasket Moving parts excessively worn Use authorised service centre to repair or replace Motor running too slow Use authorised service centre to check
Troubleshooting continued Problem Possible cause Suggested remedy Insufficient pressure or decreased outlet capacity continued The tool requires air supply outside the range of the compressors capabilities. 1) Select another air tool that that will allow you to achieve the same end result which will operate within the compressors capabilities. 2) Select another tool to achieve the same result (could be a power tool or hand tool) to perform the task.
Troubleshooting continued Problem Possible cause Suggested remedy Insufficient pressure or decreased outlet capacity continued Air fittings leaking. Check all air fittings. Make sure that they are tight and not leaking at the joins. If a quick release fitting is leaking, disconnect it and reconnect it. If it continues to leak replace the defective fitting(s). If a male or female fitting is leaking around the thread tighten using a spanner.
Cleaning 1. Keep the tool’s air vents unclogged and clean at all times. 2. Remove dust and dirt regularly. Cleaning is best done with a soft brush or a rag. 3. Re-lubricate all moving parts at regular intervals. 4. If the body of the compressor needs cleaning, wipe it with a soft damp cloth. A mild detergent can be used but nothing like alcohol, petrol or other cleaning agent. 5. Never use caustic agents to clean plastic parts. CAUTION. Water must never come into contact with the tool.
