Stationary or Flexible Mounting

To ensure safe handling, the machine must
be mounted on a level and stable surface
(e. g., workbench) prior to using.
Mounting to a Working Surface
– Fasten the power tool with suitable screw
fasteners to the working surface. The holes
15 serve for this purpose. (see figure A1)
or
– Clamp the power tool with commercially
available screw clamps by the feet to the
working surface. (see figure A2)
Mounting to the GTA 3700 Worktable
(see figure A3)
Read all safety warnings and instructions
included with the worktable. Failure of ob-
serving safety warnings and instructions can
lead to electrical shock, fire and/or cause se-
rious injuries.
Assemble the worktable properly before
mounting the power tool. Perfect assembly
is important in order to prevent the risk of
collapsing.
– Adjust the clearance between the holding-fix-
ture sets to 290 mm.
– Mount the power tool in the transport posi-
tion (see "Securing the Machine (Transport
Position)", page 40). The mounting holes rel-
evant for the GCM 8 S are shown in the fig-
ure.
Flexible Mounting (not recommended!)
(see figure B)
In exceptional cases, when it is not possible to
mount the machine onto a level and stable work
surface, it can be set up using the tilt protector.
Without the use of the tilt protector, the
machine does not stand safely and can tip
over, especially when sawing at maximum
mitre/bevel angles.
– Pull the metal bar of the tilt protector 33 out
forwards to the stop.
– Screw the tilt protector 31 in or out until the
machine stands level on the working surface.
Lock this position with the lock nut 32.
