may be toxic.
Drilling meta
1. Select the appropriate gear using the Gear Switch (4).
2. Rotate the Mode Selector (3) to the drill position.
● Ensure that drill bits are suitable for the grade of metal being drilled, and are within
the maximum capacity of the machine (see 'Specification')
● To ensure accuracy, mark the intended hole position using a hammer and centre punch.
WARNING
The drill bit and the workpiece will become very hot when drilling metal. DO NOT
touch the bit and never allow it to come into contact with combustible materials when
hot. Always use a suitable lubricant or cutting fluid, and drill at appropriate speeds.
● ONLY apply moderate pressure to the drill bit, ensuring efficient cutting and
prolonged drill bit life.
● Use a countersink bit to remove sharp burrs from the hole, preventing cuts and
other kinds of injury.
WARNING
If the power tool gets excessively hot in use, stop using the tool immediately and
allow to cool before continuing work. The cooling period can be reduced by operating
the drill at maximum speed with no load. Always make sure the Motor Vents (5) are
not blocked and do not allow dust to enter the body of the tool through the Motor
Vents; dust, especially metallic dust, may damage or destroy the tool.
Maintenance
WARNING
ALWAYS disconnect from the mains power supply, before carrying out any mainte-
nance/ cleaning of the charger. Remove the battery before carrying out any mainte-
nance/cleaning of the drill.
Note
Both the drill and the charger contain no user-serviceable parts. If the device does
not perform as outlined in this manual, return it to an authorised GMC service centre
for repair
General inspection
● Regularly check that all the fixing screws are tight
● Inspect the supply cord of the tool, prior to each use, for damage or wear. Repairs
