Panasonic - EY4542XM - 14.4Volt Universal Cutter ( Skin Only )

Panasonics EY4542XM 14.4V multi purpose metal cutter kit delivers a cool, quick, clean cut in a compact, lightweight tool.

The multi purpose metal cutter rotates at a speed of 3,600 rpm and uses a 5 3/8th C-6 tungsten steel carbide-tipped blade with 30 teeth and a 1/16 thin kerf. The blade uses a chipping action rather than an abrasive action which results in a much quicker cut. With the exceptionally thin blade kerf it cuts clean with no need for de-burring after cutting. The EY4542XM has an adjustable base plate that delivers cutting depth from 1/8 to1-13/16, minimizing the blade wear and maximizing the cutting efficiency. The blade cutting edge is easily visible through the clear window on the blade guard. The EY4542XM features a three way dust control system which reduces metal chip splash and sawdust in an environmentally friendly manner. The EY4542XM is ideal for cutting pipe, strut, threaded rod, metal stud. Just change to a wood or plastic cutting blade to utilize the EY4542s multi purpose capability to also cut various woods and plastics.

The EY4542XM offers a full complement of convenience features including an LED Work Light that illuminates the work area when in use, electric brake to stop blade rotation once the trigger is released, a fully enclosed blade to minimize chip splash, and a spindle lock button for easy blade replacement. The EY4542XM is compact in size (13 long) and weighs only 5.7 lbs. The ergonomic design delivers a comfortable contoured rubber grip which allows for less fatigue over extended use.

The EY4542XM is powered by a 3.0ah Cobalt Li-ion battery pack. This battery pack delivers high output with low heat generation resulting in twice the lifetime total performance versus current Ni-Cd battery packs. In addition the EY4542XM utilizes Panasonics unique GuardION system. The GuardION system monitors each battery cell during battery charging and during tool use to prevent over discharging and overheating of the battery pack thus insuring long life.

The EY4542XM uses a self diagnostic universal battery charger which electronically monitors the condition of each battery cell in the battery pack during the charging process to deliver full charging with minimal heat generation. The charger will charge all Panasonic battery chemistries Ni-Cd, Ni-MH, Li-ion and all voltages from 7.2-28.8v. . The 3.0ah Li-ion battery pack fully charges in 50 minutes. The EY4542XM is sold as a tool body only. This tool is also available in a tool kit or combo kit format
