Additional Safety Rules - Panasonic EY6230 Instruction Manual

15) Do not store the tool and battery
pack in locations where the tempera¬
ture may reach or exceed 122°F
(50°C) (such a metal tool shed, or a
car in the summer), which can lead to
deterioration ot the storage battery.
16) Do not charge battery pack when the
temperature is BELOW 32°F (0°C) or
ABOVE 104°F (40°C). This is very
important.
17) Do not incinerate the battery pack. It
can explode in a fire.
18) Avoid dangerous environment. Do not
use charger in damp or wet locations.
19) The charger is designed to operate
on standard household electrical
power only. Do not attempt to use it
on any other voltage!
20) Do not abuse cord. Never carry
charger by cord or yank it to discon¬
nect from outlet. Keep cord away
from heat, oil and sharp edges.
21) Charge the battery pack in a well
ventilated place, do not cover the
charger and battery pack with a cloth,
etc., while charging.
22) Use of an attachment not recom¬
mended may result in a risk of fire,
electric shock, or injury to persons.
23) Do not short the battery pack. A bat¬
tery short can cause a large current
flow, over heating and burns.
24) NOTE: If the supply cord of this appli¬
ance is damaged, it must only be
replaced by a repair shop appointed
by the manufacturer, because special
purpose tools are required.
25) TO REDUCE THE RISK OF ELEC¬
TRIC SHOCK, THIS APPLIANCE HAS
A POLARIZED PLUG (ONE BLADE IS
WIDER THAN THE OTHER).
This plug will fit in a polarized outlet
only one way. If the plug does not fit
fully in the outlet, reverse the plug. If
it still does not fit, contact a qualified
electrician to install the proper outlet.
Do not change the plug in any way.
ADDITIONAL
SAFETY RULES
1) Be aware that this tool is always in
an operating condition, since it does
not have to be plugged into an elec¬
trical outlet.
2) 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.
3) If the bit becomes jammed, immedi¬
ately turn the main switch off to pre¬
vent an overload which can damage
the battery pack or motor. Use
reverse motion to loosen jammed bits.
4) Do not operate the reversing lever
when the main switch is on. The bat¬
tery will discharge rapidly and dam¬
age to the unit may occur.
5) During charging, the charger may
become slightly warm. This is nor¬
mal. Do not charge the battery for a
long period.
6) Use only a dry, soft cloth for wiping
the unit. Do not use a damp cloth,
thinner, benzine, or other volatile sol¬
vents for cleaning.
7) When storing or carrying the tool, set
the reversing lever to the center
(switch lock) position.
8) Do not strain the tool by holding the
speed control trigger halfway (speed
control mode) so that the motor stops.
9) 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 internal
mechanism of the motor.
• Changes or modifications not
expressly approved by
MATSUSHITA ELECTRIC WORKS,
LTD. could void the user's authority
to operate the equipment.
