Accessories - GMC GS36USB Mode D'emploi

Checking the battery charge level
• Set the tool to forward or reverse mode then pull the Trigger (10) briefly to illuminate the charge level on
LED Charge Indicator (3)(Image A)
• Alternatively, plug the Charge Connector (13) into the Charging Socket (7) and connect the Charging Plug
(12)/USB Charging Cable (14) into a power source to illuminate the LED Charge Indicator
• The LED Charge Indicator displays three colours that indicate the charge level: green, yellow, and red
• If all three colours are illuminated, the tool has full/near full charge; if only yellow and red are illuminated,
the tool has mid-charge; and if only the red is illuminated, the tool has low-charge and will need charging
Note: Performance of the tool may gradually decline as the battery depletes.
Charging the battery
• The tool's internal battery should be charged at 20°C (room temperature)
1. Plug the Charge Connector (13) into the Charging Socket (7) and connect the Charging Plug (12)/USB
Charging Cable (14) into a power source, which will illuminate the LED Charge Indicator
2. When the tool's internal battery is fully-charged, the LED Charge Indicator (3) will display the three colours:
red, yellow, and green
3. Disconnect the Charging Plug or USB Cable from the power source and disconnect the Charge Connector
from the Charging Socket
WARNING: DO NOT leave the tool charging for an extended amount of time once it has reached full
charge. Doing so could damage the internal battery and could cause a fire hazard.
WARNING: The battery will gradually lose charge in storage. Do not store the screwdriver for long periods
whilst discharged. Always charge the battery before long-term storage.
IMPORTANT: Failure to follow the correct procedure when charging the battery will result in permanent
damage. You must follow the correct procedure.
Changing the handle configuration
For straight handle configuration
• This configuration is best for straight driving and torch mode
1. Set the Trigger (10) to lock
2. Grip the tool with two hands (Image B)
3. Press the Handle Adjustment Button (4) (Image A) and simultaneously begin to rotate the Handle (6)
upwards until the tool is straight and the Handle Adjustment Button clicks into place
For pistol grip configuration
• This configuration is best for regular drill/driving
• Follow the procedure above but rotate the handle downwards in the reverse action in Image B
Fitting a screwdriver bit
• Fit the hex type screwdriver bits directly into the hex Bit Holder (1), or use the additional bit holder
(supplied)
• To remove the bit, pull back the sheath on the Bit Holder (Image C) and remove the bit from the Bit Holder
Adjusting the torque selector
• The Torque Selector (2) has 15 torque settings plus pilot-drill mode
• Rotate the Torque Selector to pilot-drill mode or the desired torque setting by lining up the drill symbol or
desired torque number with the triangle marker (Image D)
Note: A small hex-shank drill bit (not supplied) can be used in pilot-drill mode to drill pilot holes before driving
screws. This mode is for drilling into soft woods and similar materials, but this mode is not a substitute for a
more powerful cordless drill driver. Using this mode for drilling into tough materials will place the tool under
excessive stress and may damage the tool.
Operation
IMPORTANT: Ensure the battery is fully charged before use. (See 'Checking the battery charge level'.)
WARNING: ALWAYS set the Trigger (10) to lock before inserting, removing or changing bits. This will
prevent accidental powering of the tool and personal injury.
Note: The LED Work Light (11) will automatically power every time the Trigger (10) is pulled and the tool is
powered. The work light will not work when the Trigger is locked.
Driving
1. Insert the chosen bit into the Bit Holder (1)
2. Set the Forward/Trigger Lock/Reverse (5) button to either forward or reverse
3. Select the desired torque setting
4. Connect the bit to the end of the screw/fastener and pull the Trigger (10) to power the tool
5. Release the Trigger when the screw/fastener has reached the desired depth or has been removed from the
workpiece
Note: It is recommended that a pilot hole be used when driving screws/fasteners.
WARNING: Do not use the pilot-drill mode for driving. Doing so could damage the workpiece and/or strip the
head of the screw/fastener, which would make it difficult to remove if required. Begin with a lower torque
setting and increase to the setting until the appropriate torque level is reached.
Pilot-hole drilling
1. Insert a hex-shank drill bit (not supplied) or alternative compatible drill bit set up into the Bit Holder (1)
2. Set the Forward/Trigger Lock/Reverse (5) button to forward, clockwise rotation
3. Set the Torque Selector (2) to
4. Place the drill bit's tip in contact with the workpiece, in position where the pilot hole is required
5. Pull the Trigger (10) to power the tool; control the drilling motion to the desired hole depth
6. Keep the tool powered until the drill bit is removed and clear from the hole in the workpiece
Operating the LED torch
• The LED Torch (8) is best operated when the tool is configured with the straight handle set up (Image B),
and with the Trigger (10) locked
• To operate the LED Torch, push the Torch ON/OFF Switch (9) to the 'ON' position (Image E)
• To switch OFF, push the Torch ON/OFF Switch to the 'OFF' position
WARNING: NEVER shine the LED Torch into the eyes of a person or animal.
