Panasonic EY7950, EY7450 Bit-locking Function, Control Panel, LED light, Overheat warning lamp

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 prevent 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 40 N•m,

408 kgf-cm, 353 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.

(1) LED light

Before the use of LED light, always pull the power switch once.

Press the LED light button.

The light illuminates with very low current, and it does not adversely af- fect the performance of the tool during use or its battery capacity.

CAUTION:

•The built-in LED light is designed to illuminate the small work area tempo-rarily.

•Do not use it as a substitute for a regular flashlight, since it does not have enough brightness.

•LED light turns off when the tool has not been used for 5 minutes.

Caution: DO NOT STARE INTO BEAM. Use of controls or adjustments or perfor- mance of procedures other than those specified herein may result in hazardous radiation exposure.
