[. . . ] 3) If the bit becomes jammed, immediately turn the main switch off to prevent an overload, which can damage the battery pack or motor. 6) Use only a dry, soft cloth to wipe the unit. Do NOT use a damp cloth, thinner, benzine, or other volatile solvents for cleaning. 7) When storing or carrying the tool , set the Forward/ Reverse lever to the center position (switch lock). [. . . ] If the battery pack is used when the battery temperature is below 0°C (32°F), the tool may fail to function properly. When battery pack is not in use, keep it away from other metal objects like: paper clips, coins, keys, nails, screws, or other small metal objects that can make a connection from one terminal to another. When operating with a Ni-MH battery pack, make sure the place is well-ventilated. After use, set the lever to its center position (switch lock). Choose a low or high speed to suit the use. CAUTION: Check the speed selector switch before use. To eliminate excessive temperature increase of the tool surface, do not operate the tool continuously using two or more battery packs. Tool needs cool off time before switching to another pack. Nickel cadmium battery pack requires a "BREAK-IN PERIOD" to reach maximum operating capacity. The "BREAK-IN PERIOD" is accomplished during normal usage during the first 6-8 charge and discharge cycles of the battery pack. After the "BREAK-IN PERIOD" is completed, the battery pack will maintain maximum operating capacity throughout the normal life of the battery pack. If the operation time becomes extremely short after recharging, replace the battery pack with a new one. For environmental protection and recycling of materials, be sure that it is disposed of at an officially assigned location, if there is one in your country. Note: When you charge the battery pack for the first time, or after prolonged storage, charge it for about 24 hours to bring the battery up to full capacity. Note: Sparks may be produced when the plug is inserted into the AC power supply, but this is not a problem in terms of safety. Insert the battery pack firmly into the charger. Charging will not start if the battery pack is warm (for example, immediately after heavy-duty operation). When charging is completed, the charging lamp will start flashing quickly in green color. When in any of the conditions that battery pack is too cool, or the battery pack has not been used for a long time, the charging lamp is lit. In this case, charging takes longer to fully charge the battery pack, than the stan¦dard charging time. If a fully charged battery pack is inserted into the charger again, the charging lamp light up. After several minutes, the charging lamp may flash quickly to indicate the charging is completed. [. . . ] If you lose the fuse cover the plug must not be used until a replacement cover is obtained. A replacement fuse cover can be purchased from your local Panasonic Dealer.
