Lifting; Mounting; Switching On And Off; Overload Switch - GMC TP2000 Instruction M

Lifting

1. The machine weighs over 30kg and should not be
carried by one person alone.
2. Fold up the in-feed table (6) and the out-feed table
(9) before lifting the machine.
Note. The chip guard (10) has to be removed before
the out-feed table
can be folded
to the vertical
position.
3. Use the carry
handle recesses
(5) on each side
of the machine
when moving it to
a new position.

Mounting

1. Fit the 4 rubber feet.
2. Attach the machine to a
level, horizontal bench or
work table using bolts
though the fixing holes in
the machine base.
Note. If desired, you can
mount the machine to a
piece of 13mm or thicker
plywood which can then
be clamped to your work
support or moved to other
job sites and reclamped.
Caution. Make sure that
the mounting surface is
not warped as an uneven
surface can cause
inaccurate planing.

Switching on and off

1. For added safety, the
on/off switch (8) includes
a removable locking key to
help prevent unauthorised
use. When the machine
is left unattended, remove
the locking key and store
it safely.
2. To switch on, insert the
locking key and push the
switch (8) to the ON position. The motor should start.
3. To switch off, push the switch (8) to the OFF position.
The motor should stop. Remove the locking key if the
machine is to be left unattended.

Overload switch

1. If the motor is overloaded due to an incorrect
procedure such as an attempt to make too large a cut
in one pass, the centre part
of the overload switch (7)
partially ejects.
2. Establish and correct the
cause of the overload.
3. Wait several minutes then
push in the central part of
the overload switch (7) to
reset the machine.
