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.
Important information – special product care
Your GMC quick charge screwdriver uses capacitors to
store the energy that operates the screwdriver. Do not
attempt to charge the screwdriver with any other charger
than the one supplied. IT IS DANGEROUS TO USE ANY
OTHER CHARGER TO CHARGE YOUR TOOL. Ensure
you have read all of the safety notes in the previous pages
before using the screwdriver.
Charging
IMPORTANT.
Before plugging in the charger (3) into the
mains power supply always ensure that the mains power
switch is turned off.
IMPORTANT.
The tool will be fully charged after approximately
90 seconds. The screwdriver can remain in the charger,
with the charger turned on without damage being done to
the cells (
Note.
Do not leave the screwdriver in the charger
turned on unattended).
1. Place the screwdriver into
the charger (3) vertically with
the bottom of the screwdriver
aligning with the charger as
per the picture shown. Push
the screwdriver down until you
hear it click into place.
Note.
If the screwdriver is
incorrectly orientated the
screwdriver will not enter the base.
2. When the screwdriver is fully
inserted into the charger,
the needle on the meter will
indicate the approximate level
of charge. This will occur
whenever the screwdriver
is inserted, with or without
the charger plugged in and
regardless or whether the
switch is turned on or not.
3. Plug in the charger and switch on at the power supply.
The screwdriver will now begin charging. The charge
level is indicated by the needle gauge on the charger
and it will increase as the cells charge. Charging time is
complete in 90 seconds.
Note.
You may use the screwdriver at any time. The
charging process does not have to be completed to use
the tool and short chargers will not harm the tool.
4. The charging time is
approximately 90 seconds.
Once the screwdriver has
completed it’s charge or once
the charge has reached a
suitable level for the task
at hand, simply remove the
screwdriver from the charger
by pressing the eject/release
button (7).
Note.
Do not leave the charger turned on and unattended.
IMPORTANT NOTE.
If the screw driver is left in the charger in the locked down
position and the charger is NOT turned on, the cells will
discharge over a period of time.
When the charger is turned off, it is advised to press
the eject button to undock the screwdriver to prevent
discharge. The driver will still sit in the charger but is totally
disconnected. No damage is incurred if the driver is fully
discharged but will require recharging before next use.
