Frequently Asked Questions - EY7960 PANASONIC

How to install or remove a bit on the EY7960 drill?

Ensure the battery is removed or the switch is in the center (locked) position. To install: insert the bit and turn the locking collar clockwise until it stops clicking. To remove: turn the collar counterclockwise and remove the bit. If the chuck has play, loosen the center screw (left-hand thread) with a screwdriver after opening the jaws.

How to adjust the clutch tightening torque?

Turn the clutch adjustment ring to one of the 18 numbered settings. Low torque is suitable for small screws, high torque for larger ones. For drilling or hammer drilling, set the ring to the drill bit or hammer symbol. Always test on a scrap piece before working.

How to use the hammer mode on the EY7960 model?

Turn the clutch adjustment ring to the T (hammer) position. This mode is for drilling in soft concrete, brick or similar materials. Make sure to stop the tool and clear it from the workpiece before switching from drilling to hammer mode or vice versa.

Which battery to use with the EY7960 drill?

Use only Panasonic Li-ion batteries from the EY9L60 series (21.6 V, 3 Ah) or compatible. Never use other batteries. The battery must be charged with the supplied EY0L80 charger. For optimal battery life, store the battery discharged after use and recharge it at room temperature (0 °C to 40 °C).

How to recharge the battery and what are the charger indicators?

Plug the charger into a mains outlet. Insert the battery aligning the marks. Solid green light indicates charger ready; slow flashing green = charging; fast flashing green = charge complete. Solid orange light means cold battery (slow charge); flashing orange = hot battery (waiting to cool). If orange and green flash rapidly, the battery is defective or dirty.

What to do if the drill suddenly stops during use?

This may be due to motor or battery overheating. The overheat warning light turns on (motor) or flashes (battery). Let the tool cool completely (at least 30 minutes) until the light turns off. If the low battery indicator flashes, recharge the battery immediately. Avoid continuous high-load use.

How to clean and maintain the EY7960 drill?

Clean the tool regularly with a dry, clean cloth. Never use water, solvents or volatile cleaning products. Ensure the cooling vents are not blocked. Store the tool in a dry, dust-free place. Replace the battery cover when the battery is not in use.

What are the important safety precautions to follow?

Wear ear protection as noise can damage hearing. Always use the auxiliary handle to avoid loss of control. Hold the tool by insulated gripping surfaces when drilling in areas where electrical cables may be embedded. Wear a dust mask if necessary. Do not operate the reverse switch while the trigger is pressed. Store the tool with the switch in the center (locked) position.

How to use the built-in LED light?

Press the LED light button after turning on the main switch once. The light dimly illuminates the work area. It turns off automatically after 5 minutes of inactivity. Do not look directly into the beam. This light is not powerful enough to replace a normal flashlight.

What are the recommended accessories for the EY7960 drill?

Use only bits suitable for the chuck capacity (1.5 to 13 mm). For screwdriving, use quality screwdriver bits. The auxiliary handle is provided and should be used for all work. A spare charger and battery (model EY9L60) are recommended for extended use.

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 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) 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, floors, etc., "live" electrical wires may be encountered. DO NOT TOUCH THE CHUCK OR ANY FRONT METAL 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, 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.

8) 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.

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.
