22) Use of an attachment not recom
mended may result in a risk of fire,
electric shock, or injury to persons.
23) Do not short the battery pack. A bat
tery short can cause a large current
flow, over heating and burns.
24) NOTE: If the supply cord of this appli
ance is damaged, it must only be
replaced by a repair shop appointed
by the manufacturer, because special
purpose tools are required.
25) TO REDUCE THE RISK OF ELEC
TRIC SHOCK, THIS APPLIANCE HAS
A POLARIZED PLUG (ONE BLADE IS
WIDER THAN THE OTHER).
This plug will fit in a polarized outlet
only one way. If the plug does not fit
fully in the outlet, reverse the plug. If
it still does not fit, contact a qualified
electrician to install the proper outlet.
Do not change the plug in any way.
7) When storing or carrying the tool, set
the reversing lever to the center
(switch lock) position.
8) Do not strain the tool by holding the
. speed control trigger halfway (speed
control mode) so that the motor stops.
9) 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.
Changes or modifications not
expressly approved by
MATSUSHITA ELECTRIC WORKS,
LTD. could void the user’s authority
to operate the equipment.
ADDITIONAL
SAFETY RULES
1) Be aware that this tool is always in
an operating condition, since it does
not have to be plugged into an elec
trical outlet.
2) When drilling or driving into walls,
floors, etc., “live" electrical wires may
be encountered. DO NOT TOUCH
THE CHUCK OR ANY FRONT
METAL PARTS OF THE TOOL! Hold
the tool only by the plastic handle to
prevent electric shock in case you
drill or drive into a “live” wire.
3) If the bit becomes jammed, immedi
ately turn the main switch off to pre
vent an overload which can damage
the battery pack or motor. Use
reverse motion to loosen jammed bits.
4) Do not operate the reversing lever
when the main switch is on. The bat
tery will discharge rapidly and dam
age to the unit may occur.
5) During charging, the charger may
become slightly warm. This is nor
mal. Do not charge the battery for a
long period.
6) Use only a dry, soft cloth for wiping
the unit. Do not use a damp cloth,
thinner, benzine, or other volatile sol
vents for cleaning.

a manual screwdriver (up to
22.5Nm, 230kg-cm, 199in-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 csi on the dutch),
for confirming the tightness of a
screw or to loosen an extremely
tight screw.
1. Press the battery pack release

the pack away from the toot.
2. Charge the battery pack using the
battery charger.
3. After the charging has been com
pleted, remove the battery pack
from the charger and connect it to
the tool. Disconnect the charger
from the A.C. outlet when not in
use.
CAUTION: When operating with a Ni-MH
battery pack (EY9230) make
sure the place is wellventilated.

• When charging, cooling fan In the
charger functions to cool down the
battery pack, and the sound of fan
can be heard. This is normal. If this
sound cannot be heard, it Is a
malfunction. Stop charging
immediately and consult an
authorized dealer.
3. During charging, the charging
lamp wilt be lit.
When charging is completed, an
internal electronic switch will auto
matically be triggered to prevent
overchcuging.
• Charging will not start if the bat
tery расж is warm <for example,
immediately after heavy-auty
operation), the orange standby
lamp will be lit until the battery
cools down. Charging wilt then
begin automatically.
4. When charging is completed, the
charging lamp will start flashing
rapidly.
5. When in any of the conditions that
the charger is too warm, battery
pack is too cool, or the battery
pack has not been used for a long
time, the charging lamp starts
flashing slowly to indicate protec
tive charging. Protective charging
takes longer to fully charge the
battery pack, than the standard
charging time.
(Max. charging time is approx. 90
minutes.)
• If a fully charged battery pack is
inserted into the charger again,
the charging tamp may light up
and then flash slowly. After sever
al minutes, the charging lamp
may flash quickly to indicate the
charging is completed.
6. If tfie charging tamp does not light
immediately after the charger is
plugged in, or if after the standard
charging time the lamp does not go
off, conduit an authorized dealer.
Note: • When charging a cool battery
pad( (below 5**C) in a warm place,
leave the battery pack at the place
and wait for more than orre hour to
warm up the battery to the level of
the ambient temperatore. (Battery
pack may not be fully charged.)
• Cool down the charger when
charging more than two battery
packs consecutively.
CAUTION: «Do not use power source
from an engine generator.
• Do not cover vent holes on
the charger and the battery
pack.
