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.

Auxiliary handle and depth gauge

1.  Turn the auxiliary handle (2) 

anti-clockwise to loosen the 

collar and slip it over the chuck 

onto the drill. 

2.  Insert the depth gauge (3) 

in the hole at the top of the 

handle (2). 

3.  The auxiliary handle (2) can 

swivel 360° for the most 

comfortable position and 

easiest operation. 

4.  The depth gauge (3) helps keep 

an accurate depth when drilling 

holes to a set depth. 

5.  To change the position of the 

depth gauge (3), turn the 

handle (2) grip anti-clockwise 

until the depth gauge is loose 

enough to slide through the 

hole. 

6.  Set the depth, checking the 

depth with a steel rule for 

most accurate measurement 

and then turn the handle grip 

clockwise to tighten both the 

depth stop and the auxiliary 

handle in the 

required position.

Installing and removing bits

CAUTION.

 Always ensure that the drill is switched off and 

plug is removed from the power point before making any 

adjustments.
1.  The drill features a keyless chuck (1) and spindle lock 

button (9) for greater convenience of use.

2.  To insert a drill bit or other 

accessory, press the spindle 

lock button (9) with one 

hand and use your other 

hand to rotate the chuck 

(1) anti-clockwise. Rotate it 

sufficiently for the chuck to 

open far enough to accept 

the bit or accessory.

3.  Fully insert the bit or accessory into the chuck (1) and 

tighten securely by rotating the chuck clockwise with 

one hand whilst holding the spindle lock button (9) 

pressed with the other hand.

WARNING.

 Do not attempt to tighten the chuck by 

gripping the front part and turning the drill on. Damage 

to the tool and personal injury may result. Be sure to 

tighten the chuck with the spindle lock button held 

pressed to achieve maximum tightness.
