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.
Using the impact wrench The impact wrench can be used for driving nuts and bolts using an impact socket and is suitable for many DIY applications. Operating the Impact Wrench Correct fastening torque may be determined by the kind of bolt, the size of the bolt or the material of the workpiece. It is recommended that a test is performed prior to the final operation, in order to determine the fastening time for the nut or bolt you are using.
Maintenance WARNING. Always ensure that the tool is switched off and the plug is removed from the power point before making any adjustments or maintenance procedures. 1. Keep the tool’s air vents unclogged and clean at all times. 2. Regularly check to see if any dust or foreign matter has entered the grills near the motor and around the on/off switch.
