Panasonic EY7271 operating instructions Rules, II. Assembly, Attaching or Removing Bit EY7270

Read “the Safety Instructions” booklet and the following before using.

I. ADDITIONAL SAFETY

RULES

1)Wear ear protectors when using the tool for extended periods.

2)Be aware that this tool is always in an operating condition, since it does not have to be plugged into an electrical outlet.

3)When screwing or driving into walls, floors, etc., “live” electrical wires may be encountered. DO NOT TOUCH THE HEX QUICK CHUCK OR ANY FRONT METAL PARTS OF THE TOOL! Hold the tool only by the plastic handle to prevent electric shock in case you screw or drive into a “live” wire.

4)If the screw driver does not rotate anymore, immediately turn the trigger switch off for a longer period to prevent an overload, which can damage the battery pack or motor.

Use reverse motion to loosen jammed bits.

5)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.

6)During charging, the charger may become slightly warm. This is normal. Do NOT charge the battery for a long period.

7)When storing or carrying the tool, set the Forward/Reverse lever to the center position (switch lock).

8)Do not strain the tool by holding the trigger switch halfway (speed control mode) so that the motor stops.

II. ASSEMBLY

NOTE:

When attaching or removing a bit or socket, disconnect battery pack from tool or place the trigger switch in the center position (switch lock).

Attaching or Removing Bit (EY7270)

1.Hold the collar of the quick connect chuck and push it outwards.

2.Insert the bit into the chuck.

3.The collar will return to its original position when it is released.

4.Pull the bit to make sure it does not come out.

5.To remove the bit, pull back on the collar in the same way.

CAUTION:

If the collar does not return to its original position or the bit comes out when pulled on, the bit has not been properly attached. Make sure the bit is properly attached before use.

Attaching or Removing Socket (EY7271)

1.Attaching Socket

Attach the socket by sliding the female detent on the bottom of the socket to the square drive on the body.

Make sure the socket is firm- ly connected to the body.

2. Removing Socket Pull out the socket.

NOTE:

Attaching or Removing Original Options and Sockets

Keep the body above freezing point (0°C 32°F) when attach or detach original options and sockets to the square drive on the body. The cushion rubber in the square drive to push up the ball may get hard under freezing point. This requires extra force in detaching and attaching sockets.
