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.
Fitting and removing the battery pack

To install the battery pack, align rails, on the tool with the tabs on the battery pack and slide the battery pack on to the drill. Ensure the battery
pack is sitting straight on the foot and correctly entering the runners. The battery should slide fully on to the drill foot until the battery pack “clicks” into position.

To obtain the best life for the battery
Never allow the drill to come to a complete stand still before recharging. The battery should be placed on charge whenever the battery is noticeably running down or the drill no longer performs a task it previously performed.
Avoid conducting short charges. Make sure that the battery is fully charged every time by allowing the charger to complete its full charging cycle.
Avoid allowing lose items like screws or nails etc to be stored with battery packs as these or similar items can short battery packs and cause a fire or explosion.
Always unplug the charger when not in use and store in a dry secure place.
Avoid charging or storing your battery in temperatures below 0ºC and above 40ºC.

of charge remaining in the battery. There are 3 levels of charge low, medium and high. When the battery indicator is showing only 1 LED (low) the battery should be removed and put on the charger.
