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.
