USER MANUAL EYFEA1N PANASONIC

These tools can be used to tighten screws in clutch mode and to drill holes in wood and metal in drill mode. Additionally, model EYFEA1N can be used to drill holes in soft concrete and similar materials in hammer mode. Read the Safety Instructions booklet and the following before using.

Exposure to noise can cause hearing loss.

2) Use auxiliary handle supplied with

the tool. Loss of control can cause personal injury.

3) Hold power tools by insulated

gripping surfaces when per-forming 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) Wear a dust mask, if the work causes dust.

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) When drilling or driving into walls,

PARTS OF THE TOOL! Hold the tool only by the plastic handle to prevent electric shock in case you drill or drive into a “live” wire.

7) If the bit becomes jammed, im-mediately

turn the trigger switch off to prevent an overload, which can damage the battery pack or motor. Use reverse motion to loosen jammed bits.

8) Do NOT operate the For-ward/Reverse

lever when the trigger switch is on. The battery will discharge rapidly and dam- age to the unit may occur.

9) During charging, the charger may

become slightly warm. This is normal. Do NOT charge the battery for a long period.

10) When storing or carrying the tool,

set the Forward/Reverse lever to the center position (switch lock).

11) Do not strain the tool by holding the

speed control trigger halfway (speed control mode) so that the motor stops.

12) Do not operate the speed selector

switch (LOW-HIGH) while pulling on the speed control trigger. This can cause the rechargeable battery to wear quickly or damage the in-ternal mechanism of the motor. WARNING Do not use other than the Panasonic bat-

tery packs that are designed for use with this rechargeable tool. Panasonic is not responsible for any dam-

age or accident caused by the use of recy- cled or counterfeit battery pack. Do not dispose of the battery pack in a re,

or expose it to excessive heat. Do not drive the likes of nails into the bat-

tery pack, subject it to shocks, dismantle it, or attempt to modify it. Do not allow metal objects to touch the bat-

tery pack terminals. Do not carry or store the battery pack in the

same container as nails or similar metal objects. Do not charge the battery pack in a high-

temperature location, such as next to a re or in direct sunlight. Otherwise, the battery may overheat, catch re, or explode. Never use other than the dedicated charg-

er to charge the battery pack. Otherwise, the battery may leak, overheat, or explode. After removing the battery pack from the

tool or the charger, always reattach the pack cover. Otherwise, the battery contacts could be shorted, leading to a risk of re. When the Battery Pack Has Deteriorated,

Replace It with a New One. Continued use of a damaged battery pack may result in heat generation, ignition or battery rupture. EYFEA1N.indb 4 2011-3-9 15:16:06- 5 - Symbol MeaningV VoltsDirect current

crease of the tool surface, do not op- erate the tool continuously using two or more battery packs. The tool needs cool-off time before switching to an- other pack. Do not close up vent holes on the

sides of the body during operation. Otherwise, the machine function is adversely affected to cause a failure. Do NOT strain the tool (motor). This

may cause damage to the unit. Use the tool in such a way as to pre-

vent the air from the body vent holes from blowing directly onto your skin. Otherwise, you may get burned. Bit-locking Function

1. With the trigger switch not engaged

and a s c re w dri ver bi t l o ck e d i n place, the tool can be used as a manual screwdriver (up to 5 N·m, 51 kgf-cm, 44.3 in-lbs). There will be a little play in the chuck, but this is not a malfunction.

2. This feature is handy for tightening

screws that require more torque than the maximum torque of the driver (position on the clutch), for conrming the tightness of a screw or to loosen an extremely tight screw. How to Use Hook ring WARNING! When the main unit is held by the hook

ring, avoid jumping or running with it. Doing so may cause the ring to slip and the main unit may fall. This may result in an accident or injury. When the hook ring is not used, be

sure to return it to the original position. The hook ring may catch on something. This may result in an accident or injury. When the unit is hooked by the hook

ring, do not attach driver bits to the unit. A sharp edge object, such as a drill bit, may cause injury or an accident. Use a hooking tool (carabiner etc.) that

does not come off easily. If this unit falls it may cause accident. Using Hook Ring

LED light Pull the trigger. The light illuminates with very low current, and it does not adversely affect the performance of the tool during use or its battery capacity. CAUTION: The built-in LED light is designed to

illuminate the small work area tempo- rarily. Do not use it as a substitute for a reg-

ular ashlight, since it does not have enough brightness. Caution: DO NOT STARE INTO BEAM. Use of controls or adjustments or performance of procedures other than those specified herein may result in hazardous radiation exposure. Automatic power-off function The automatic power-off function is de-

signed to prevent a loss of tightening torque due to reduced battery voltage. Once it has been activated, the tool will not operate until the battery pack has been charged (or replaced with a fresh unit), even if the trigger is depressed. LED lamp will flash when the automatic

power-off function is activated. LED lamp begins flashing, the battery

pack should be charged (or replaced with a fresh unit) immediately. Be sure to fully charge the battery pack

in question after activation of the auto- matic power-off function. Failure to do so may prevent the automatic power-off function from being properly deactivated. [Battery Pack] For Appropriate Use of Battery Pack Li-ion Battery Pack For optimum battery life, store the Li-ion

battery pack following use without charg- ing it. When charging the battery pack, conrm

that the terminals on the battery charger are free of foreign substances such as dust and water etc. Clean the terminals before charging the battery pack if any foreign substances are found on the ter- minals. The life of the battery pack terminals may be affected by foreign substances such as dust and water etc. during operation. 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 con- nection from one terminal to another. Shorting the battery terminals together may cause sparks, burns or a re. When operating the battery pack, make

sure the work place is well ventilated. Triangle mark Graduation selection mark EYFEA1N.indb 8 2011-3-9 15:16:08- 9 - When the battery pack is removed from the

main body of the tool, replace the battery pack cover immediately in order to prevent dust or dirt from contaminating the battery terminals and causing a short circuit. Battery Pack Life The rechargeable batteries have a limited life. If the operation time b e c o m e s ex t r e me l y s h o r t a f t e r recharging, replace the battery pack with a new one. Battery Recycling ATTENTION: For environmental protection and recycling of materials, be sure that it is disposed of at an officially assigned location, if there is one in your country. [Battery Charger] Charging CAUTION: If the temperature of the battery pack

falls approximately below −10°C (14°F), charging will automatically stop to pre- vent degradation of the battery. The ambient temperature range is be-

tween 0°C (32°F) and 40°C (104°F). If the battery pack is used when the battery temperature is below 0°C (32°F), the tool may fail to function properly. When charging a cool battery pack (below

0°C (32°F)) in a warm place, leave the bat- tery pack at the place and wait for more than one hour to warm up the battery to the level of the ambient temperature. Cool down the charger when charging

more than two battery packs consecutively. Do not insert your fingers into contact

hole, when holding charger or any other occasions. To prevent the risk of re or damage to the battery charger. Do not use power source from an engine

generator. Do not cover vent holes on the charger

and the battery pack. Unplug the charger when not in use.
