Panasonic EY45A2LJ2G Instructions D'utilisation page 19

1. Place the wider part of the shoe on the part
of the work piece which is solidly supported
(See Fig. 17), never on the section that will
fall off when the cut is made. (See Fig. 18)
Hold the tool firmly to prevent loss of control.
Working carelessly can cause severe personal
injury.
2. Make sure the blade stops.
Even though your tool has a brake, before
setting the tool down, make sure the blade
has come to a complete stop and the lower
guard has closed.
3. Do not use if anything seem unusual.
Remove battery pack immediately.
If the tool body becomes very hot, or does
not work properly, remove the battery pack
and do not use. Have it checked by an
authorized service center.
WARNING
To prevent the risk of serious personal injury
or fire, do not try to repair the tool by yourself.
Never disassemble or modify the tool body.
There are no user-repairable parts inside.
4. NEVER ALLOW THE TOOL TO COME IN
CONTACT WITH YOUR BODY.
After completing a cut, do not allow the tool
to brush against your leg or side.
Since the lower guard is retractable, it could
catch on your clothing and expose the blade.
Keep clothing away from tool. Be aware of
the exposed blade sections that exist in both
the upper and lower guard areas.
WARNING
Because cutting metal creates sparks;
• Always use safety goggles.
• Do not use tool near any flammable
substance or in an area where flammable
substances are used. Fire and burn injury
could result.
5. Never engage the spindle lock while blade
is running, or engage in an effort to stop
the tool. Never turn the switch on when the
spindle lock is engaged. Serious damage to
your tool will result.

For Appropriate Use of
Battery Pack [Fig.19]
• The rechargeable batteries have a limited life.
• For optimum battery life, store the Li-ion

• 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

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.
[Battery Charger]
Charging
CAUTION:
1) If the temperature of the battery pack falls
approximately below −10°C (14°F), charging
will automatically stop to prevent degradation
of the battery.
2) The ambient temperature range is between
0°C (32°F) and 40°C (104°F).
If the battery pack is used when the battery
temperature is below 0°C (32°F), the tool
may fail to function properly.
3) Use the charger at temperatures between
0°C (32°F) and 40°C (104°F), and charge
the battery at a temperature similar to that of
the battery itself. (There should be no more
than a 15°C (59°F) difference between the
temperatures of the battery and the charging
location.)
4) When charging a cool battery pack (below
0°C (32°F)) in a warm place, leave the
battery pack at the place and wait for more
than one hour to warm up the battery to the
level of the ambient temperature.
5) Cool down the charger when charging more
than two battery packs consecutively.
6) Do not insert your fingers into contact hole,
when holding charger or any other occasions.
