Thank you for purchasing the Panasonic Jigsaw. This jigsaw can be used with Panasonic rechargeable batteries to provide excellent cutting performance. The jigsaw is for cutting metal, wood, and drywall only.

Read the "Safety Instructions" booklet and the following before using.

II. ADDITIONAL SAFETY RULES

1) Hold tool by insulated gripping surfaces when performing an operation where the cutting tool may contact hidden wiring. Contact with a "live" wire will also make exposed metal parts of the tool "live" and shock the operator. 2) Use clamps or another practical way to secure and support the workpiece to a stable platform. Holding the work by hand or against your body leaves it unstable and may lead to loss of control. 3) Keep hands away from cutting area and blade. Keep your insulated gripping surfaces. If both hands are holding the tool, they cannot be cut by the blade. 4) Never hold piece being cut in your hands or across your leg. It is important to support the work properly to minimize body exposure or loss of control. 5) Be aware that this tool is always in an operating condition, since it does not have to be plugged into an electrical outlet. 6) Always use safety goggles or glasses with side shields. Ordinary eye or sun glasses are NOT safety glasses. 7) When this tool is used for woodworking in confined areas (e.g. indoors), wear dust mask. 8) Avoid cutting nails. Inspect workpiece for any nails and remove them before operation.

9) Do not cut oversized workpiece. 10) Check for the proper clearance beyond the workpiece before cutting so that the blade will not strike the floor, workbench, etc. 11) Hold the tool firmly. 12) Make sure the blade is not contacting the workpiece before the switch is turned on. 13) Keep hands away from moving parts. 14) Do not touch the blade or workpiece immediately after operation; they may be extremely hot and could burn your skin. 15) Never swing tool. 16) Do not use blades which are deformed or cracked. 17) Do not use blades which do not comply with the characteristics specified in these instructions. 18) Remove the battery pack from the tool body before replacement of the blade, making adjustments, or other maintenance work. 19) Wear ear protectors when using the tool for extended periods.

Full lithium-ion battery packs (EY9L40/EY9L41)

- To achieve optimal battery service life, store the full lithium-ion battery pack in the following conditions without charging it. - When charging the battery pack, make sure that no foreign substances such as dust, water, etc. are on the terminals. Clean the terminals before charging the battery pack if foreign substances are found on them.

Such foreign substances as dust and water may affect the service life of the battery pack terminals.

When storing the battery pack, keep it away from contact with metal objects such as paper clips, coins, keys, nails, screws, and other small metal objects that can short-circuit the contacts. Short-circuiting the battery pack contacts may cause sparking and ignition. When working with the battery pack, ensure that the work area is well ventilated. - When removing the battery pack from the main body of the tool, immediately close the cover of the battery pack to prevent the battery terminals from being contaminated with dust and dirt, which may cause a short circuit.

Battery pack service life

Rechargeable batteries have a limited service life. If after charging the operating time becomes noticeably short, replace the battery pack with a new one.

The orange LED will flash until the batteries have cooled down.

Then charging will begin automatically.

1. The charging LED (green) will start flashing as soon as the battery charge reaches 80%.
2. After the charging cycle is complete, the charging LED will start flashing more frequently with a green light.
3. If the temperature of the battery pack is at a level not exceeding 0°C, the charging time of the battery pack will take longer compared to the normal charging time.

Even a fully charged battery pack will have approximately 50% of the capacity of batteries fully charged at normal temperature.

1. If the power LED does not turn on after switching on the charging device, or if after the time required for the completion of charging the LED does not start flashing green, contact an authorized service center.
2. If a fully charged battery pack is inserted again into the charging device, the charging LED will light up. After a few minutes, the charging LED may start flashing rapidly, indicating that charging is complete.

NOTE:

For the first charge of the battery pack, or after prolonged storage, for a full charge, charge it for about 24 hours.

Charging device (EY0L80)

1. Plug the charger into a wall outlet of alternating current.

NOTE:

When the charger is plugged into an AC power source, sparks may occur, but this is not a problem from a safety point of view.

2. Insert the battery pack into the charger.

3. During charging, the charge indicator lamp must light up.

After charging is complete, an internal electronic switch will automatically activate, preventing overcharging.

Charging will not start if the battery pack is hot (for example, immediately after working under load). The orange lamp of the cooling mode will blink until the batteries cool down. Then charging will start automatically.

1. After charging is complete, the charge indicator lamp will light up with a steady green light.
2. If the charge indicator lamp does not light up immediately after switching on the charger, or if the lamp does not go out after the standard charging time, contact an authorized service center.
3. If a fully charged battery pack is inserted into the charger again, the charge indicator lamp will light up. After a few minutes, the charge lamp may start to blink rapidly, indicating that charging is complete.

Before using the light charging function, read the instructions.

Press the light charging button.

Light charging uses a very low current and does not negatively affect the productivity of the tool during operation or the capacity of its battery.

WARNING:

The built-in light charging is intended for temporary lighting of a small work area. Do not use it as a replacement for a permanent flashlight, as it does not have sufficient brightness. The light lamp turns off automatically if the tool is not used for 5 minutes.

WARNING: DO NOT ATTEMPT TO MODIFY. Using the tool for control or adjustment, or performing procedures other than those specified in this manual, may result in injury and unsafe operation.

(2) Warning lamp for interruption

Turned off (normal operation)

Note: The interruption indicates that the work was stopped due to a battery interruption.

The overload protection function stops the tool's operation to protect the battery block in the event of an overload. When the function is activated, the overload warning lamp on the control panel lights up.

• With the overload protection function activated, allow the tool to cool down sufficiently (approximately 30 minutes). The battery will be ready for operation after the warning lamp goes out.
• Avoid using the motor in a way that would cause the warning lamp to turn on repeatedly.

(3) Low battery charge warning lamp

Lights up (normal operation)

Flashes (charging is not occurring) Battery protection function activated

Deep (full) discharge of lithium-ion batteries significantly shortens their service life. This tool is equipped with a battery protection function designed to prevent deep discharge of the battery block.

- The battery protection function activates directly before the battery is about to lose all charge, causing the low battery charge warning lamp to flash. - If you notice that the low battery charge warning lamp is flashing, charge the battery block immediately.
