Panasonic EY7940 - Specific Safety Rules

- 8 -
Battery Tool Use and Care
1) Ensure the switch is in the off
position before inserting battery
pack.
Inserting battery pack into power
tools that have the switch on invites
accidents.
2) Recharge only with the charger
specied by the manufacturer.
A charger that is suitable for one type
of battery pack may create a risk of
fire when used with another battery
pack.
3) U s e p o w e r t o o l s o n l y w i t h
specifically designated battery
packs.
Use of any other battery packs may
create a risk of injury and re.
4) When battery pack is not in use,
keep it away from other metal
objects like paper clips, coins,
keys, nails, screws, or other small
metal objects that can make a
connection from one terminal to
another.
Shorting the battery terminals together
may cause burns, or a re.
5) Under abusive conditions, liquid
may be ejected from battery; avoid
contact. If contact accidentally
occurs, flush with water. If liquid
contacts eyes, additionally seek
medical help.
Liquid ejected from the battery may
cause irritation or burns.
Service
1) Have your power tool serviced by a
qualified repair person using only
identical replacement parts.
This will ensure that the safety of
power tool is maintained.
III. SPECIFIC SAFETY
RULES
1) Wear ear protectors. Exposure to
noise can cause hearing loss.
2) Use auxiliary handles supplied with
the tool. Loss of control can cause
personal injury.
3) Hold power tools by insulated
gripping surfaces when performing
an operation where the cutting tool
may contact hidden wiring.
Contact with a “live” wire will make
exposed metal parts of the tool “live”
and shock the operator.
4) Be aware that this tool is always in an
operating condition, since it does not
have to be plugged into an electrical
outlet.
5) I f t h e b i t b e c o m e s j a m m e d ,
immediately turn the trigger switch
off to prevent an overload which can
damage the battery pack or motor.
Use reverse motion to loosen jammed
bits.
6) Do not operate the Forward/Reverse
lever when the trigger switch is on.
The battery will discharge rapidly and
damage to the unit may occur.
7) When storing or carrying the tool,
set the Forward/Reverse lever to the
center position (switch lock).
8) Do not strain the tool by holding the
speed control trigger halfway (speed
control mode) so that the motor stops.
The protection circuit will activate and
may prevent speed control operation.
If this happens, release the speed
control trigger and squeeze again for
normal operation.
9) Be careful not to get dust inside the
chuck.
10) Do not touch the rotating parts to
avoid injury.
11) Do not use the tool continuously for a
long period of time. Stop using the tool
from time to time to avoid temperature
rise and heat overload of the motor.
12) Do not drop the tool.
13) Wear dust mask, if the work causes
dust.
14) During charging, the charger may
become slightly warm. This is normal.
Do NOT charge the battery for a long
period.
