Panasonic EY6409NQKW - Manual (Page 3)

A tool that cannot be controlled with the
switch is dangerous and must be
repaired.
15) Disconnect battery pack from tool or
place the switch in the locked or off
position before making any adjust­
ments,
changing accessories, or
storing the tool.
Such preventive safety measures
reduce the risk of starting the tool acci­
dentally.
16) Store idle tools out of reach of chil­
dren and other untrained persons.
Tools are dangerous in the hands of
untrained users.
17) 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
Shorting the battery terminals together
may cause sparks, burns or a fire.
18) Maintain tools with care. Keep cutting
tools sharp and clean.
Properly maintained tools with sharp
cutting edge are less likely to bind and
are easier to control.
19) Check for misalignment or binding of
moving parts, breakage of parts, and
any other condition that may affect
the tool’s operations. If damaged,
have the tool serviced before using.
Many accidents are caused by poorly
maintained tools.
20) Use only accessories that are recom­
mended by the manufacturer for your
model.
Accessories that may be suitable for
one tool may create a risk of injury when
used on another tool.
Service
21) Tool service must be performed only
by qualified repair personnel.
Service or maintenance performed by
unqualified personnel may result in a
risk of injury.
22) When servicing a tool, use only iden­
tical replacement parts. Follow
instructions in the Maintenance sec­
tion of this manual.
Use of unauthorized parts or failure to
follow Maintenance Instructions may
create a risk of shock or injury.
II. SPECIFIC SAFETY
RULES
1) Hold tool by insulated gripping sur­
faces when performing an operation
where the cutting tool may contact
hidden wiring.
Contact with a “live” wire will also make
exposed metal parts of the tool “live"
and shock the operator.

WARNING:
Some dust created by power sanding,
sawing, grinding, drilling, and other con­
struction activities contains chemicals
known to the State of California to cause
cancer, birth defects or other reproduc­
tive harm. Some examples of these
chemicals are:
• Lead from lead-based paints
• Crystalline silica from bricks and
cement and other masonry products
• Arsenic and chromium from chemically-
treated lumber.
To reduce your exposure to these chemi­
cals:
work in a well ventilated area, and work
with approved safety equipment, such as
dust masks that are specially designed
to filter our microscopic particles.
