Use of the power tool for operations different from those intended could result in a hazardous situation. 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. ) Recharge only with the charger specified 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) Use power tools only with specifically designated battery packs. Use of any other battery packs may create a risk of injury and fire. 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 fire. 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. II. SPECIFIC SAFETY RULES 1) Wear ear protection. Exposure to noise can cause hearing loss. ) Be aware that this tool is always in an operating condition, since it does not have to be plugged into an electrical outlet. 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) If the bit becomes jammed, 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. 5) 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. 6) When storing or carrying the tool, set the Forward/Reverse lever to the center position (switch lock). 7) 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. 8) Be careful not to get dust inside the chuck. 9) Do not touch the rotating parts to avoid injury. -4 10)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. 11)Do not drop the tool.

For indoor use only. WARNING! Some dust created by power sanding, sawing, grinding, drilling, and other construction activities contains chemicals known to the State of California to cause cancer, birth defects or other reproductive harm. Some examples of these chemicals are: • Lead from lead-based paints • Crystalline silica from bricks and cement and other masonry products • Arsenic and chromium from chemically- treated lumber. To reduce your exposure to these chemicals: work in a well ventilated area, and work with approved safety equipment, such as dust masks that are specially designed to filter out microscopic particles. III. FOR BATTERY CHARGER & BATTERY PACK Important Safety Instructions 1) SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS -This manual contains important safety and operating instructions for battery charger EY0L80. ) Before using battery charger, read all instructions and cautionary markings on battery charger, battery pack, and product using battery pack. 3) CAUTION -To reduce the risk of injury, charge only Panasonic Battery Pack as shown in last page. Other types of batteries may burst causing personal injury and damage. 4) Do not expose charger and battery pack to rain or snow. 5) To reduce risk of damaging the electric plug and cord, pull by plug rather than cord when disconnecting charger. 6) Make sure cord is located so that it will not be stepped on, tripped over, or otherwise subjected to damage or stress. 7) An extension cord should not be used unless absolutely necessary. Use of improper extension cord could result in a risk of fire and electric shock. If extension cord must be used, make sure that: a.pins on plug of extension cord are the same number, size and shape as those of plug on charger. b.extension cord is properly wired and in good electrical condition. c. wire size is large enough for ampere rating of charger as specified below. RECOMMENDED MINIMUM AWG SIZE OF EXTENSION CORDS FOR AC Input Rating. Equal to or greater than 0 BATTERY CHARGERS Amperes AWG Size of Cord But less Length of Cord, than Feet 5 5...
