Introduction  
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.  
General safety rules  
WARNING. When using power tools, basic safety precautions  
should always be taken to reduce the risk of fire, electric  
shock and personal injury. Also, please read and heed the  
advice given in the additional important safety instructions.  
You will find your new tool easy and safe to operate, and,  
with proper care, it will give you many years of dependable  
service.  
1. Keep the work area clean and tidy. Cluttered work areas  
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 depend-  
ability have been given top priority to the development of  
this tool, making it easy to maintain and operate.  
and benches invite accidents and injury.  
2. Consider the environment in which you are working. Do  
not use power tools in damp or wet locations. Keep the  
work area well lit. Do not expose power tools to rain. Do  
not use power tools in the presence of flammable liquids or  
gases.  
3. Keep visitors away from the work area. All visitors and  
onlookers, especially children, should be kept well away  
from where you are working. Do not let others in the  
vicinity make contact with the tool or extension cord.  
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 center and disposed of in an  
environmentally safe way.  
4. Store tools safely. When not in use, tools should be locked  
up out of the reach of children.  
5. Do not force the tool. The tool will do the job better and  
safer working at the rate for which it was designed.  
6. Use the correct tool for the job. Do not force small tools  
or attachments to do the job best handled by a heavier  
duty tool. Never use a tool for a purpose for which it was  
not intended.  
7. Dress correctly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry. They  
can be caught in moving parts. Rubber gloves and non-slip  
footwear are recommended when working outdoors. If you  
have long hair, wear a protective hair covering.

8. Use safety accessories. Safety glasses and earmuffs  
should always be worn. A face or dust mask is required if  
the cutting operation creates dust.  
guard or other part that is damaged should be properly  
repaired or replaced by an authorised service facility,  
unless otherwise indicated in this Instruction Manual.  
Defective switches must be replaced by an authorised  
service facility. Do not use a tool if the switch does not  
turn the tool on and off correctly.  
9. Do not abuse the power cord. Never pull the cord to  
disconnect the tool from the power point. Keep the cord  
away from heat, oil and sharp edges.  
19. Guard against electric shock. Prevent body contact with  
grounded objects such as water pipes, radiators, ranges  
and refrigerator enclosures.  
10. Secure the workpiece. Use clamps or a vice to hold the  
workpiece. It is safer than using your hand and frees  
both hands to operate the tool.  
20. Use only approved parts. When servicing, use only  
identical replacement parts. Use an authorised service  
facility to fit replacement parts.  
11. Do not overreach. Keep your footing secure and  
balanced at all times.  
12. Look after your tools. Keep tools sharp and clean for  
better and safer performance. Follow the instructions  
regarding lubrication and accessory changes. Inspect tool  
cords periodically and, if damaged, have them repaired  
by an authorised service facility. Inspect extension cords  
periodically and replace them if damaged. Keep tool  
handles dry, clean and free from oil and grease.  
21. Warning. The use of any accessory or attachment other  
than those recommended in this instruction manual,  
may present a risk of personal injury.  
22. Have your tool repaired by a qualified person. This  
electric tool is in accordance with the relevant safety  
requirements. Repair should only be carried out by  
qualified persons using original spare parts, otherwise  
this may result in considerable danger to the user.  
13. Disconnect idle tools. Switch off the power and  
disconnect the plug from the power point before  
servicing, when changing accessories such as blades, bits  
and cutters, and when the tool is not in use.  
23. Special safety hints.  
Your cordless drill is not charged when purchased. Be sure  
to charge the unit for fully approximately 5–7 hours prior  
to initial use.  
14. Remove adjusting keys and wrenches. Get into the  
habit of always checking to see that keys and adjusting  
wrenches are removed from the tool before switching on.  
A battery stored used or charged under high temperature  
conditions will deteriorate more quickly.  
15. Avoid unintentional starting. Always check that the  
switch is in the OFF position before plugging in the tool  
to the power supply.  
Don’t overcharge the battery.  
Once your battery is fully charged, disconnect the charger  
from the power and store safely in the drill.  
16. Use outdoor rated extension cords. When a tool is used  
outdoors, use only extension cords that are intended for  
outdoor use and are so marked.  
Never store the battery out of the drill, as the two contacts  
on the drill are exposed and could be shorted by a metal  
object and cause a fire or explosion!  
17. Stay alert. Watch what you are doing. Use common  
sense. Do not operate a power tool when you are tired.  
Before drilling check that there are no hidden hazards such  
as electric cables, water or gas pipes running below the  
surface-use a metal/voltage detector.  
18. Check for damaged parts. Before using a tool, check  
that there are no damaged parts. If a part, such as a  
guard is damaged, carefully determine if it will operate  
properly and perform its intended function. Check for  
alignment of moving parts, binding of moving parts,  
breakage of parts, proper mounting and any other  
conditions that may affect the operation of the tool. A  
Don’t expose either the drill or charger to rain, high  
humidity or wet conditions.

Unpacking  
This drill is mainly used for drilling in wood or metal sheet  
and screwdriving. Use machine only for intended applications.  
All other applications are expressly ruled out.  
Due to modern mass production techniques, it is unlikely that  
your GMC Power Tool is faulty or that a part is missing. If you  
find anything wrong, do not operate the tool until the parts  
have been replaced or the fault has been rectified. Failure to  
do so could result in serious personal injury.

Battery charging  
Chuck replacement  
Connect the adaptor plug to the socket in the rear of the  
battery (6). Plug the adaptor (7) into a 230–240V mains  
power point and switch on. The red LED light near the  
rear of the battery will show that charging is taking place.  
The chucks of reversible drills are always fixed by a screw  
with a left-hand thread. The screw, which is located in the  
centre of the chuck, must be loosened before the chuck  
can be removed. To loosen the screw, turn it in a  
clockwise direction. The chuck can now be removed by  
unscrewing it anti-clockwise. If you have trouble removing  
the chuck take the drill to your nearest authorised service  
centre for chuck replacement.  
The normal battery charge time is between 3–5 hours, but  
an indication as to the battery being fully charged is  
when the case of the battery starts to warm up. Once this  
occurs, switch off the adaptor at the 230–240V mains  
power point and remove the adaptor plug from the rear of  
the battery. Your drill/driver is ready for use!  
To keep the best life of the battery, let the battery start to  
loose its power before charging, but do not let the drill  
come to a standstill before charging. Do not do short  
charges but make sure that the battery is fully charged  
every time it is in need of charging.  
Forward/Reverse switch (3)  
This switch will allow you to change the direction of the  
motor.  
Drilling uses the forward mode. The reverse mode is  
intended for the removal of screws.  
Adjustable Torque  
This drill is equipped with torque settings which are  
controlled by the torque collar (2). By rotating the collar  
behind the chuck, it is possible to adjust the torque.  
This will allow better control when using the drill as a  
screwdriver (prevents over-tightening of the screws).  
Warning. Never store the battery out of the drill/driver as  
the two contacts on top of the battery are exposed and  
could be shorted by a metal object and cause a fire or  
explosion!  
Caution. Never use the drill while charging is in progress!  
Using the drill  
Drilling metals  
Use the forward/reverse switch to select the direction of  
rotation, then pull the trigger (4) on. This trigger switch  
is electronic variable speed which enables the user to vary  
the speed continuously. The speed varies according to how  
far the trigger switch is depressed, the further it is  
depressed the faster the chuck will rotate and the lighter  
it is depressed, the slower it will rotate.  
Always clamp sheet metal.  
Support thin metal with a block of wood to avoid  
distorting it.  
Use a punch to mark the centre of the hole.  
Use a suitable lubricant for the material you are  
working on:  
To stop the drill, release the trigger switch.  
USE:  
FOR:  
Note. The drill will not work if the forward/reverse switch  
is in the middle of the two position. This is a safety  
feature and whenever leaving the drill it is wise to place  
the switch in the centre to stop inadvertent switching on.

the item being drilled.  
Maintenence  
Store the machine, instruction manual and where  
necessary the accessories in the original packaging. In  
this way you will always have all the information and  
parts ready to hand.  
Don’t throw used batteries into fire or water-danger of  
explosion! Please hand in non-working or used batteries,  
or tools with built-in batteries, to the environmentally-  
safe disposal unit at a municipal waste-disposal centre,
