3. Personal safety  
Safety instructions  
a. Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use  
common sense when operating a power tool.  
Do not use a power tool while you are tired or under  
the influence of drugs, alcohol or medication. A moment  
of inattention while operating power tools may result in  
serious personal injury.  
WARNING. Read all instructions. Failure to follow all  
instructions listed below may result in electric shock, fire and/  
or serious injury. The term “power tool” in all of the warnings  
listed below refers to your mains operated (corded) power  
tool or battery operated (cordless) power tool.  
Save these instructions  
1. Work area  
b. Use safety equipment. Always wear eye protection.  
Safety equipment such as dust mask, non-skid  
safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing protection used for  
appropriate conditions will reduce personal injuries.  
a. Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered and dark  
areas invite accidents.  
b. Do not operate power tools in explosive  
atmospheres, such as in the presence of flammable  
liquids, gases or dust. Power tools create sparks which  
may ignite the dust or fumes.  
c. Avoid accidental starting. Ensure the switch is in the  
off position before plugging in. Carrying power tools with  
your finger on the switch or plugging in power tools that  
have the switch on invites accidents.  
c. Keep children and bystanders away while operating  
a power tool. Distractions can cause you to lose control.  
d. Remove any adjusting key or wrench before  
turning the power tool on. A wrench or a key left  
attached to a rotating part of the power tool may result  
in personal injury.  
2. Electrical safety  
a. Power tool plugs must match the outlet.  
Never modify the plug in any way. Do not use any  
adapter plugs with earthed (grounded) power tools.  
Unmodified plugs and matching outlets will reduce risk  
of electric shock.  
e. Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at  
all times. This enables better control of the power tool in  
unexpected situations.  
f. Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or  
jewellery. Keep your hair, clothing and gloves away from  
moving parts. Loose clothes, jewellery or long hair can be  
caught in moving parts.  
b. Avoid body contact with earthed or grounded  
surfaces such as pipes, radiators, ranges and  
refrigerators. There is an increased risk of electric  
shock if your body is earthed or grounded.  
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.  
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.  
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. Any power tool that cannot be controlled  
with the switch is dangerous and must be repaired.  
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.

c. Disconnect the plug from the power source before  
making any adjustments, changing accessories, or  
storing power tools. Such preventive safety measures  
reduce the risk of starting the power tool accidentally.  
d. When battery pack is not in use, keep it away from  
other metal objects like paper clips, coins, keys,  
nails, screws, or other small metal objects that can  
make a connection from one terminal to another.  
Shorting the battery terminals together may cause burns  
or a fire.  
d. Store idle power tools out of the reach of children  
and do not allow persons unfamiliar with the power  
tool or these instructions to operate the power tool.  
Power tools are dangerous in the hands of untrained  
users.  
e. Under abusive conditions, liquid may be ejected  
from the battery; avoid contact. If contact accidentally  
occurs, flush with water. If liquid contacts eyes,  
additionally seek medical help. Liquid ejected from  
the battery may cause irritation or burns.  
e. Maintain power tools. Check for misalignment or  
binding of moving parts, breakage of parts and  
any other condition that may affect the power tools  
operation. If damaged, have the power tool repaired  
before use. Many accidents are caused by poorly  
maintained power tools.  
6. Service  
a. Have your power tool serviced by a qualified repair  
person using only identical replacement parts. This  
will ensure that the safety of the power tool is maintained.  
f. Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly  
maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting edges are less  
likely to bind and are easier to control.  
Additional safety instructions for drills  
Wear ear protectors with impact drills.  
Exposure to noise can cause hearing loss.  
Use auxiliary handles supplied with the tool.  
Loss of control can cause personal injury.  
g. Use the power tool, accessories and tool bits etc.,  
in accordance with these instructions and in the  
manner intended for the particular type of power  
tool, taking into account the working conditions  
and the work to be performed. Use of the power tool  
for operations different from those intended could result  
in a hazardous situation.  
If possible, always use clamps or a vice to hold your work.  
Always switch off before you put the drill down.  
Ensure that the lighting is adequate.  
Do not put pressure on the drill, such that it slows the  
motor down. Allow the drill bit to cut without pressure.  
You will get better results and you will be taking better  
care of your tool.  
5. Battery tool use and care  
a. Ensure the switch is in the off position before  
inserting battery pack. Inserting the battery pack into  
power tools that have the switch on invites accidents.  
Keep the area free of tripping hazards.  
b. Recharge only with the charger specified by the  
manufacturer. A charger that is suitable for one type  
of battery pack may create a risk of fire when used with  
another battery pack.  
Do not let anyone under 18 years operate this tool.  
Only use accessory bits in good condition.  
Before drilling, check that there is sufficient clearance for  
the drill bit under the workpiece.  
c. Use power tools only with specifically designated  
battery packs. Use of any other battery packs may  
create a risk of injury and fire.  
Do not touch the bit after operation. It will be very hot.

In this condition, DO NOT force cool the pack by placing in  
a freezer or similar device. Refer to the “Overload” section  
in this manual.  
Unpacking  
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.  
Another feature of the drill/battery pack is the low voltage  
cut out feature. This feature operates when the voltage  
drops below a pre set value. When this occurs the tool will  
automatically stop operating. To correct the situation you  
need to either insert another charged battery into the drill  
or recharge the existing battery, and then proceed with the  
drilling/driving application.  
Important information – Product care  
This drill driver uses Lithium Iron Battery Cells. Care  
MUST be taken to ensure both the safety and life of the  
pack is maintained. Ensure you have read all of the safety  
notes in the previous pages before using the drill/driver.  
Note: Attempting to restart the tool in this condition without  
either recharging the battery or installing a battery with  
charge will lead to drill restarting and then stopping again  
after only a few seconds of operation.  
Safety devices and circuitry for this tool are located in  
the battery pack of this tool. The battery pack is a vital  
component, not just for the power source, but also for  
the full safety control for both the charging and also the  
tool operation. Treat the battery pack with care and within  
the guidelines of this manual. If the pack does become  
immersed in water or any fluids, or is subject to a sever  
drop etc, or it does not operate within the guidelines of  
this manual, immediately STOP using the battery pack  
and have it checked.  
These safety devices have been fitted for the safety,  
reliability and life of the tool.  
Fitting and removing  
the battery pack  
To remove the battery pack from  
the drill firmly press the battery  
release button (7) at the front  
of the battery pack, and pull the  
battery backward out of the tool.  
During operation avoid overloading the drill driver. If  
the drill driver is overloaded it will automatically STOP.  
Overloading may occur for a number of reasons including  
when the drill driver is pushed too hard or when using a  
drill bit or attachment greater than what is specified. If you  
do overload the drill driver during operation refer to the  
“Overload” section in this manual.  
To install the battery pack  
into the base of the drill, you  
need to align the location rib  
on the battery pack with the  
engagement groove located on  
the base of the drill. Ensure the  
battery pack locks into position,  
you will hear a “click”.  
Note: When the battery of the drill is at the lower end of the  
charge, the drill is more susceptible to the overload condition.  
As mentioned above the battery pack is an integral  
component of this tool and it is fitted with thermal safety  
devices. Running the drill at close to maximum load, or  
continual resetting of the overload will cause the battery  
pack to over heat. When a preset cell temperature is  
detected, the battery pack will automatically STOP  
operating and will not restart until the battery pack has  
cooled to a safe level.

Using the drill  
Trigger switch  
Use the forward/reverse switch (4) to select the direction  
of rotation, then pull the trigger (3). This trigger switch is an  
electronic variable speed control 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.  
Temperature Cut Out  
If the drill is constantly overloaded, or the drill is used  
constantly at maximum rating in high ambient conditions,  
the battery cells may over heat causing the battery pack  
to shut down.  
The yellow indicator on the battery pack will stay illuminated  
in this condition. When this occurs you will need to  
immediately stop drilling and allow the battery cells to  
reduce the temperature.  
To stop the drill, release the trigger switch.  
To reduce the temperature of the cells remove the battery  
pack from the drill and place the battery pack in a free air  
environment, out of direct sunlight or any other heat source.  
DO NOT force cool the pack in any way. Do not place in  
refrigerators or freezers.  
When the battery pack has cooled down it can again  
be used to operate the drill, as long as the load or the  
conditions causing the original excessive temperature  
has been corrected.  
Note. The variable Speed control fitted to this drill is NOT  
intended to be used for long periods of time during the  
operation of the task being performed. Use the variable  
speed to start drilling and screwing tasks, and then fully  
depress the trigger once the task has started.  
Low voltage cut out  
The battery pack used on this tool is fitted with a low  
voltage cut out feature within the circuitry.  
CAUTION. Extended use of the variable speed under  
load will overload and then permanently damage the  
speed control.  
The low voltage cut out feature operates when the voltage  
drops below a pre set value. This feature automatically  
stops the drill from operating (similar to that of the over  
load condition). When this condition occurs you will need  
to either insert another battery into the drill or recharge the  
existing battery.  
Drill Overload  
This drill is fitted with an overload protection. If the drill is  
excessively forced, or the task being performed is too great  
for the drill, the drill will automatically go into an overload  
mode. When the drill goes into overload, the drill will  
automatically and suddenly STOP. To reset the overload,  
simply release the trigger. When the trigger is pressed  
again, the drill will restart. Resume work after the overload  
has been reset, but reduce the load by using a smaller drill  
bit or re-sharpen the existing drill bit and reduce the amount  
of force placed on the drill.  
The low voltage cut out feature has been added to  
maximise the tools life. When this occurs, recharge the  
battery pack by following the battery charging section in  
this manual.  
Note: Attempting to restart the tool without either recharging  
the battery or installing another battery (with charge) will  
lead to drill restarting and then stopping again, after only a  
few seconds of operation.

For drilling, always use the use the Drill position by aligning  
the Drill symbol with the triangular indicator on the front face  
of the drill near the torque collar.  
Forward/reverse switch  
Note. You can only change  
the direction of rotation of the  
drill using the forward/reverse  
switch when the trigger is NOT  
depressed.  
For setting the torque position, select a low setting on  
the torque collar and align the selected symbol with the  
triangular indicator on the top of the drill. Increase gradually  
to set the correct torque. It is better to use a scrap piece of  
material if possible to set the torque.  
This switch (4) will allow you to  
change the direction of the motor  
while the trigger switch is not  
depressed.  
Inserting and removing bits  
This drill has a keyless chuck,  
which means that a chuck key  
is not needed to secure a bit in  
the drill.  
Drilling uses the forward mode. The reverse mode is  
intended for the removal of screws and assisting to remove  
jammed drill bits.  
1. Open the chuck by holding  
the rear section of the chuck  
firm and rotating the front  
section in a anti-clockwise  
direction, sufficiently enough  
to allow the drill bit required  
to fully enter the jaws of the chuck.  
Adjustable torque  
This drill is equipped with 21  
torque settings plus one drill  
setting which are controlled  
by the torque collar (8). All of  
the torque settings are clearly  
identified on the torque collar.  
To adjust the torque setting you  
rotate the torque collar. Rotate  
the torque collar clockwise to  
increase the torque setting and  
rotate it anti-clockwise to decrease the torque setting.  
2. Ensure the drill bit is fully inserted, so that the chuck  
jaws grip the straight section of the bit.  
3. Holding the rear section of the chuck firmly, rotate the  
front section of the chuck clock-wise until the jaws tighten  
on the drill bit. The front section of the chuck needs to be  
tightened firmly to ensure the drill bit is held securely.  
Controlling the torque allows for better control when using  
the drill on specific tasks and prevents over-fastening and  
over-tightening.  
4. To remove the drill bit, hold the rear section of the chuck  
firmly and rotate sharply the front section of the chuck in  
a anti-clockwise direction, sufficiently enough to allow the  
drill bit to be removed.

Drilling  
Chuck replacement  
Drilling metals  
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 removed before the chuck can  
be removed. To remove 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.  
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,  
CAUTION. Always ensure that the drill is switched off  
and the battery pack is removed before making any  
adjustments.  
USE:  
Oil  
Turpentine or paraffin  
Do not lubricate  
FOR:  
Steel  
Aluminium  
Brass, copper or cast iron

Store the tools, 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.
