For Safe Use - Panasonic EY7881 Instructions D'utilisation

Indicates operation has been halted due to
motor or battery overheating.
To protect the motor or battery, be sure to
note the following when carrying out this
operation.
• If the motor or battery becomes hot, the
protection function will be activated and
the motor or battery will stop operating.
The overheat warning lamp on the
control panel illuminates or flashes when
this feature is active.
• 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.
• If the tool is operated continuously under
high-load conditions or if it is used in
hot-temperature conditions (such as
during summer), the overheating protec-
tion feature may activate frequently.
• If the tool is used in cold-temperature
conditions (such as during winter) or if it
is frequently stopped during use, the
overheating protection feature may not
activate.

of the motor's locking up and cycle the
trigger.
(3) Overload Warning

during use that causes the motor to lock
up, the overcurrent prevention sensor may
be triggered, the voltage reduction warn-
ing lamp may illuminate and flash.
(Bottom of it illuminates and middle and
top flashes.)
The lamp will stop illuminating and flash-
ing once you address the cause of the

• The rechargeable batteries have a
limited life.
• Do not use the battery pack soaked in
conductors like water.
• 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

• The battery pack is designed to be
installed by proceeding two steps for
safety. Make sure the battery pack is
installed properly to the main unit before
use.
• If the battery pack is not connected firmly
when the switch is switched on, the
overheat warning lamp and the battery
low warning lamp will flash 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 modified 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 fluid, cease use,
keep away from open flames, and return
it to the store immediately.
