CAUTION:•  Set  the  snug  point  detection  level  from “L1.” Setting the snug point detection level 
from  “L ”  may  result  in  cracking  or  defor-mation of the target material. 
•   If  the  tool  stops  before  the  snug  point  at 
snug  point  detection  level  “L1,”  set  the 
snug point detection level to “L .”
•   Changing  the  snug  point  detection  level 
from  “L1”  to  “L ”  may  increase  the  torque. 
Set  the  number  of  torque  stages  again after making this change.
•  The  setting  will  not  be  changed  until you press the OK button. 
•  After changing the setting, be sure to check the new setting value. (See page 14.)
IMPORTANT INFORMATION:

[Battery Pack]
For Appropriate Use of Bat­
tery Pack
Li­ion Battery Pack
• For optimum battery life, store the Li-ion bat-tery pack following use without charging it.
• When  charging  the  battery  pack,  confirm that  the  terminals  on  the  battery  charger are  free  of  foreign  substances  such  as  dust and  water  etc.  Clean  the  terminals  before charging the battery pack if any foreign sub-stances are found on the terminals.   The  life  of  the  battery  pack  terminals  may  be affected  by  foreign  substances  such  as  dust and water etc. during operation. 
• 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  con-nection from one terminal to another.  Shorting  the  battery  terminals  together  may cause sparks, burns or a fire.
• When  operating  the  battery  pack,  make  sure the work place is well ventilated.
• When  the  battery  pack  is  removed  from  the main  body  of  the  tool,  replace  the  battery pack  cover  immediately  in  order  to  prevent dust  or  dirt  from  contaminating  the  battery terminals and causing a short circuit.
Battery Pack Life
The rechargeable batteries have a limited life. If the operation time becomes extremely short after recharging, replace the battery pack with a new one.
Battery Recycling
ATTENTION:A  Li-ion  battery  that  is  recyclable  powers the product you have purchased.Please  call 1­800­8­BATTERY  for  infor-mation on how to recycle this battery.
[Battery Charger]
Charging
Read the operating manual for Panasonic bat-tery charger for the battery pack before charg-ing.
Before  charging  the  bat­
tery
Charge  the  battery  at  a  temperature  of  5°C (41°F) to 40°C (104°F).
The  battery  pack  cannot  be  charged  at  a  tem-perature  of  less  than  5°C  (41°F).  If  the  tem-perature  of  the  battery  pack  is  less  than  5°C (41°F),  fi rst  remove  the  battery  pack  from the  charger  and  allow  it  to  sit  for  an  hour  in  a location where the temperature is 5°C (41°F) or warmer. Then charge the battery pack again.
VI. MAINTENANCE
Use  only  a  dry,  soft  cloth  for  wiping  the  unit. Do  not  use  a  damp  cloth,  thinner,  benzine,  or other volatile solvents for cleaning.

I. CONSIGNES  DE  SECU­
RITE GENERALES
 AVERTISSEMENT!  Veuillez  lire tou­tes les instructions.
Si les instructions détaillées ci-dessous ne sont pas observées, cela peut entraîner une électro-cution, un incendie et/ou des blessures graves. Le terme “outil mécanique” utilisé dans tous les avertissements ci-dessous se réfère aux outils mécaniques opérés par cordons d'alimentation et par batterie (sans fil).
CONSERVEZ  CES  INSTRUC­
TIONS
Sécurité de la zone de travail
1) Gardez  la  zone  de  travail  propre  et bien aérée.Les endroits encombrés et sombres invi-tent les accidents.
) 
Ne  faites  pas  fonctionner  les  outils mécaniques  dans  des  atmosphères explosives,  comme  en  présence  de liquides  inflammables,  de  gaz  ou  de poussière.Les outils mécaniques génèrent des étin-celles qui peuvent enflammer la poussiè-re ou les vapeurs.
3) 
Gardez  les  enfants  et  les  spectateurs éloignés  lors  du  fonctionnement  d’un outil mécanique.Les distractions peuvent en faire perdre le contrôle.
Sécurité électrique
1) La  fiche  des  outils  mécaniques  doit correspondre  aux  prises  secteur.  Ne modifiez la fiche sous aucun prétexte. N’utilisez  pas  de  fiche  adaptatrice avec  les  outils  mécaniques  mis  à  la terre.Des  fiches  non  modifiées  et  des  prises secteur  correspondant  réduisent  les risques d’électrocution.
) 
Evitez tout contact physique avec les surfaces  mises  à  la  terre  telles  que 
tuyaux,  radiateurs,  micro ­ondes  et 
réfrigérateurs.Il y a un risque d’électrocution supplémen-taire si votre corps est mis à la terre.
3) N’exposez pas les outils mécaniques à la pluie ou à des conditions humides.
De  l’eau  pénétrant  dans  un  outil  mécani -
que augmente le risque d’électrocution. 4) 
Ne malmenez pas le cordon. N’utilisez jamais  le  cordon  pour  transporter, pour  tirer  ou  pour  débrancher  l’outil mécanique.  Gardez  le  cordon  éloigné de  la  chaleur,  de  l’huile,  d’objets  aux b o r d s   c o u p a n t s   o u   d e   p i è c e s   e n mouvement.Les  cordons  endommagés  on  emmêlés augmentent le risque d'électrocution.
5) 
Lors du fonctionnement des outils méca­niques à l’extérieur, utilisez une rallonge adaptée à l’utilisation à l’extérieur.L’utilisation d’un cordon adapté à l’ utilisa -tion à l’extérieur réduit les risques d’élec -trocution.
Sécurité personnelle
1) Restez  alerte,  regardez  ce  que  vous faites  et  faites  preuve  de  bon  sens lorsque  vous  utilisez  un  outil  méca­nique.  N’utilisez  pas  un  outil  méca­nique  alors  que  vous  êtes  fatigué  ou sous  les  effets  de  drogue,  d’alcool  ou de médicaments.
Un  moment  d’inattention  pendant  que vous  faites  fonctionner  l’outil  mécanique peut entraîner des blessures graves.
) 
Utilisez des équipements de sécurité. Portez  toujours  des  protection  pour vos yeux. Des  équipements  de  sécurité  comme m a s q u e   a n t i p o u s s i è r e ,   c h a u s s u r e s de  sécurité  non  glissantes,  casque  de p r o t e c t i o n   o u   p r o t e c t i o n s   d’o r e i l l e s , utilisés dans des conditions appropriées réduisent les blessures corporelles.
3) 
Evitez  tout  démarrage  accidentel. 
Assurez ­vous  que  l’interrupteur  est en  position  d'arrêt  avant  de  brancher l’outil.
Le  transport  d’outils  mécaniques  avec  le doigt  sur  l’interrupteur  ou  le  branchement d’outils  mécaniques  dont  l’interrupteur est  sur  la  position  de  marche  invite  les accidents.
4) 
Retirez  toute  clé  d’ajustement  ou clé  de  serrage  avant  de  mettre  l’outil mécanique en marche.
Une  clé  de  serrage  ou  une  clé  d’ ajuste-m e n t   l a i s s é e   a t t a c h é e   à   u n e   p i è c e tournante  de  l’outil  mécanique  peut entraîner des blessures corporelles.
5) 
Ne  vous  mettez  pas  en  déséquilibre. Gardez une bonne prise au sol et votre équilibre à tout moment.
Ceci permet un meilleur contrôle de l’outil 
mécanique  dans  des  situations  inatten -
dues.
