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.
