Panasonic EY45A1 Manual De Instrucciones página 10

• Check that there are no objects such as
EN
nails in the material to be cut.
If the blade comes into contact with any
such objects during cutting, a strong
reaction force will be generated and
severe injury may occur.
• Do not place your hand on the object in
the direction cutting is to take place. If this
is not observed, there is a risk of injury.
• Do not touch the jigsaw blade
immediately after cutting. If this is not
observed, burns may occur.
Holding the tool and pushing
on it
Hold the tool securely with both hands.
There is no need to exert excessive force
on the tool while operating it. Exercise
caution as applying excessive force to the
tool in a prying or pushing motion may
damage the tool.
When cutting in a small arc, a lower feed
speed will result.
Attempting to move the saw too quickly
may damage the reciprocating saw blade.
WARNING
• Do not remove the front cover.
Always hold the tool with your hand on
top of the front cover.
• After pausing or completing work,
always turn off the switch and remove
the battery pack from the tool.
When choosing a reciprocating saw blade,
select a blade that protrudes sufficiently far
from the protective shoe beyond the
material being cut after the stroke length
(28 mm) has been subtracted [Fig. 6].
Attempting to cut a pipe, piece of lumber,
or other material that exceeds the
reciprocating saw blade's cutting capacity
may cause the tip of the blade to strike the
inside of the pipe or the piece of lumber,
damaging the blade [Fig. 7].
CAUTION
• Keep the protective shoe in contact
with the material being cut while
operating the tool.
• Failure to do so may cause the
reciprocating saw blade to be
damaged due to the resulting
vibrations.
• When cutting in a small arc, a lower
feed speed will result.

Battery low warning lamp

(normal
operation)
Excessive (complete) discharging of lithium
ion batteries shortens their service life
dramatically. The tool includes a battery
protection feature designed to prevent
excessive discharging of the battery pack.
• The battery protection feature activates
immediately before the battery loses its
charge, causing the battery low warning
lamp to flash.
• If you notice the battery low warning lamp
flashing, charge the battery pack
immediately.
• If it is started with too little battery power
remaining, the tool may stop operating
without the battery low warning lamp
flashing first. This indicates that there is
too little battery power remaining to use
the tool, and the battery pack should be
charged before further use.
• If the tool is subject to a sudden load
during use that causes the motor to lock
up, the overdischarge prevention sensor
may be triggered, and the battery low
warning lamp may flash. The lamp will
stop flashing once you address the cause
of the motor's locking up and cycle the
trigger.
