Panasonic EYFEA1N Bit-locking Function, How to Use Hook ring, Using Hook Ring

●●Use at low speed when high torque is needed during operation. (Using at high speed when high torque is re- quired may cause a motor breakdown.)

●●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.

*See specifications for “MAXIMUM RECOMMENDED CAPACITIES”.

CAUTION:

●●To prevent excessive temperature increase of the tool surface, do not operate the tool continuously using two or more battery packs. The tool needs cool-off time before switching to another pack.

●●Do not close up vent holes on the sides of the body during operation. Otherwise, the machine function is adversely affected to cause a failure.

●●Do NOT strain the tool (motor). This may cause damage to the unit.

●●Use the tool in such a way as to pre- vent the air from the body vent holes from blowing directly onto your skin. Otherwise, you may get burned.

Bit-locking Function

1.With the trigger switch not engaged and a screwdriver bit locked in place, the tool can be used as a manual screwdriver (up to 5 N·m, 51 kgf-cm, 44.3 in-lbs).

There will be a little play in the chuck, but this is not a malfunction.

2.This feature is handy for tightening screws that require more torque than the maximum torque of the driver (position on the clutch), for confirming the tightness of a screw or to loosen an extremely tight screw.
