Operator’s Manual             GPCS535CK
•  Do not force the power tool. The tool will perform the job better and safer at the feed rate for 
which it is designed. Forcing the tool could possibly damage the tool and may result in personal injury.
• 
Use the correct power tool for the job. Don’t force the tool or attachment to do a job for 
which it is not designed.
• 
Do not use tool if switch does not turn it on or off. Any tool that cannot be controlled 
with the switch is dangerous and must be repaired or replaced by an authorized service center. 
• 
Turn power tool off, and disconnect the plug from the power source and/or battery pack 
from the power tool before making any adjustments, changing the accessories, or storing the tools. Such 
preventive safety measures reduce the risk of an accidental start up which may cause personal injury.
• 
Store idle tool out of reach of children and other inexperienced persons. It is 
dangerous in the hand of untrained users. 
• 
Maintain power tools with care. Check for proper alignment and binding of moving parts, 
component breaks, and any other conditions that may affect the tool’s operation. A guard or any other part that 
is damaged must be properly repaired or replaced by an authorized service center to avoid risk of personal 
injury.
• 
Use recommended accessories. Using accessories and attachments not recommended by the 
manufacturer or intended for use on this type tool may cause damage to the tool or result in personal injury to 
the user. Consult the operator’s manual for recommended accessories. 
• 
Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting edges 
are less likely to bind and are easier to control. 
• 
Feed the workpiece in the correct direction and speed. Feed the workpiece into a 
blade, cutter, or abrasive surface against the direction of the cutting tool’s direction of rotation only. Incorrectly 
feeding the workpiece in the same direction may cause the workpiece to be thrown out at high speed. 
• 
Never leave the tool running unattended, turn the power off. Do not leave the tool 
until it comes to a complete stop.
