• If the overheating protection feature activates, allow the tool to cool thorough- ly (at least 30 minutes). The tool is ready for use when the overheat warning lamp goes out.

• Avoid using the tool in a way that causes the overheating protection feature to activate repeatedly.

• The performance of the EY9L42 deterio- rates signicantly at and below 10°C due to work conditions and other factors.- 15 -

(2) Voltage Reduction Warning Three lamps ashing If the tool is subject to a sudden load during use that causes the motor to lock up, the overdis- charge prevention sensor may be triggered, and the battery low warning lamp may ash. The lamp will stop ash- ing once you address the cause of the motor’s locking up and cycle the trigger. [Battery Pack] For Appropriate Use of Battery Pack [Fig.12]

• For optimum battery life, store the Li-ion battery pack following use without charging it.

• When operating the battery pack, make sure the work place is well ventilated. For safe use

• If the battery pack is not connected rmly when the switch is switched on, the overheat warning lamp and the battery low warning lamp will ash to indicate that safe operation is not possible, and the main unit will not rotate normally. Connect the battery pack into the unit of the tool until the red or yellow label disappears.

• Only use rechargeable battery packs for Panasonic rechargeable tools. Do not use modied battery packs (including battery packs which have been disas- sembled and parts replaced).

• Do not use deteriorated battery packs. There is a risk of the generation of heat, ignition and explosion.

• If a battery pack leaks uid, cease use, keep away from open ames, and return it to the store immediately.

• Attach the battery pack by sliding until the yellow and red labels are no longer visible, and check that it does not fall out of place. - Failure to do so may result in scalding.

• The usage temperature range for lithium ion battery packs is 0 to 40 degrees. - Use of battery packs cooled to below zero, such as in colder northern areas, may result in abnormal operation of the device. In such cases, leave the battery pack in a location of 10 degrees or more for one hour or more before use, and only use the device after the battery pack has warmed up. [Battery Charger] Charging CAUTION:

1) If the temperature of the battery pack

falls approximately below −10°C (14°F), charging will automatically stop to prevent degradation of the battery.

2) The ambient temperature range is

between 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.

3) Use the charger at temperatures

between 0°C and 40°C, and charge the battery at a temperature similar to that of the battery itself. (There should be no more than a 15°C difference between the temperatures of the battery and the charging location.)

4) When charging a cool battery pack

(below 0°C (32°F)) in a warm place, leave the battery pack at the place and wait for more than one hour to warm up the battery to the level of the ambient temperature.

5) Cool down the charger when charging

more than two battery packs consecu- tively.

6) Do not insert your ngers into contact

hole, when holding charger or any other occasions.

7) Unplug the charger when not in use.

8) Store the charger between 0 and

40 degrees, and charge the battery pack at a temperature close to the storage temperature.- 16 -

• If the battery pack is charged while at a temperature below 0 degrees, a full charge will give only around 50% of a normal charge. Commence charging after 1 hour or more at the prescribed temperature.

9) Do not charge in a poorly ventilated

place. NOTE: Your battery pack is not fully charged at the time of purchase. Be sure to charge the battery before use. How to charge

1. Plug the charger into the AC outlet.

NOTE: Sparks may be produced when the plug is inserted into the AC power supply, but this is not a problem in terms of safety.

2. Connect the battery pack rmly into the

charger. 1 Line up the alignment marks and place the battery onto the dock on the charger. NOTE: Not all battery packs display the alignment mark (S) (on page 2). 2 Slide forward in the direction of the arrow. [Fig.13 ]

3. During charging, the charging lamp will

be lit. When charging is completed, an internal electronic switch will automati- cally be triggered to prevent overcharg- ing.

• Charging will not start if the battery pack is hot (for example, immediately after heavy-duty operation). The orange standby lamp will be ashing until the battery cools down. Charging will then begin automatically.

4. The charge lamp (green) will ash

slowly once the battery is approximate- ly 80% charged.

5. When charging is completed, the

charging lamp in green color will turn off.

6. If the temperature of the battery pack is

0°C or less, charging takes longer to fully charge the battery pack than the standard charging time. Even when the battery is fully charged, it will have approximately 50% of the power of a fully charged battery at normal operating temperature.

7. Consult an authorized dealer if the

charging lamp (green) does not turn off.

8. If a fully charged battery pack is insert-

ed into the charger again, the charging lamp lights up. After several minutes, the charging lamp in green color will turn off.

9. Remove the battery pack while the

battery pack release button is held up. [Fig.13 ]- 17 -
