Additional Safety Rules - Panasonic AccuPulse QP Low Noise Series Operating Instructions Manual

1.2.2 ADDITIONAL SAFETY
RULES
1) If the bit becomes jammed, immedi-
ately turn the trigger switch off to pre-
vent an overload, which can dam-
age the battery pack or motor. Use
reverse motion to loosen jammed
bits.
2) Do NOT operate the Forward/
Reverse lever when the trigger switch
is on. The battery will discharge rap-
idly and damage to the unit may
occur.
3) During charging, the charger may
become slightly warm. This is normal.
Do NOT charge the battery for a long
period.
4) Do not strain the tool by holding the
speed control trigger halfway (speed
control mode) so that the motor stops.
5) To prevent injury during use, hold
the tool steady at all times and avoid
waving it around.
6) Make certain that there are no hidden
gas or water pipes, or electrical wires
in the area where you will be work-
ing. Coming into contact with hidden
pipes or wires could result in electric
shock, or water or gas leaks.
7) Make sure to hold the object you are
working on steady.
8) Check for damaged parts.
• Check thoroughly for damage to
the protective cover and other parts
before operating.
• Check to make sure the tool and all
of its functions are working properly.
• Check the adjustment of all mov-
able parts, and check all fixed parts
to make sure they are fitted properly
and free of damage. Check all parts
of the tool for abnormal function.
9) When attempting to repair the protec-
tive cover or other parts, please follow
the instructions in the user manual. In
cases where there are no instructions
in the manual, please take it back to
the store to have it repaired.
10) If the tool gets exceptionally hot
during use, please take it in for ser-
vice and repair.
11) To avoid potential injury, keep face
and hands away from the drill bit and
any shavings.
12) Do not wear gloves when operating
the tool, as they may get caught by
the drill, leading to injury.
13) Battery terminals, screw shavings,
and tool accessories such as drill
bits will be very hot immediately after
operation. Do not touch them as
there is a risk of burning yourself.
14) Hold power tool by insulated gripping
surfaces, when performing an opera-
tion where the fastener may contact
hidden wiring.
Fasteners contacting a "live" wire
may make exposed metal parts of the
power tool "live" and could give the
operator an electric shock.
