7ENGLISH
Battery tool use and care
1. Recharge only with the charger specied by
the manufacturer. A charger that is suitable for
onetypeofbatterypackmaycreateariskofre
when used with another battery pack.
2. Use power tools only with specically desig-
nated battery packs. Use of any other battery
packsmaycreateariskofinjuryandre.
3. 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termi-
nalstogethermaycauseburnsorare.
4.
Under abusive conditions, liquid may be ejected
from the battery; avoid contact. If contact acci-
dentally occurs, ush with water. If liquid con-
tacts eyes, additionally seek medical help. Liquid
ejectedfromthebatterymaycauseirritationorburns.
5. Do not use a battery pack or tool that is dam-
aged or modied.Damagedormodiedbatteries
may exhibit unpredictable behaviour resulting in
re,explosionorriskofinjury.
6. Do not expose a battery pack or tool to re or
excessive temperature.Exposuretoreortem-
perature above 130 °C may cause explosion.
7. Follow all charging instructions and do not
charge the battery pack or tool outside the
temperature range specied in the instruc-
tions. Charging improperly or at temperatures
outsidethespeciedrangemaydamagethe
batteryandincreasetheriskofre.

use the fan for a purpose for which it is not intended.
2. The appliance can work by Makita Li-ion battery cartridge
designatedin“SPECIFICATIONS”sectioninthisinstruction
manual or AC adaptor. Use of any other batteries may create
ariskofre.Rechargebatteriesonlywiththespeciedchar-
ger. A charger that may be suitable for one type of battery
maycreateariskofrewhenusedwithanotherbattery.
3. Storeidleapplianceoutofreachofchildrenand
other untrained persons.
4.
Disconnect battery cartridge and the AC adaptor
from the power source before storing the appliance,
performing any inspection, maintenance, or cleaning
procedures.Suchpreventivesafetymeasuresmay
reduce the risk of starting the appliance accidentally.
5. When battery cartridge is not in use, keep it away
fromothermetalobjects.Shorteningthebattery
terminalstogethermaycausesparks,burnsorare.
6. Unplug unit and allow it to cool before performing any
inspection, maintenance, cleaning procedures or storage.

or rain.
A battery short can cause a large current ow, over-
heating, possible burns and even a breakdown.
6. Do not store the tool and battery cartridge in
locations where the temperature may reach or
exceed 50 °C (122 °F).
7. Do not incinerate the battery cartridge even if
it is severely damaged or is completely worn
out. The battery cartridge can explode in a re.
8. Be careful not to drop or strike battery.

aging and labeling must be observed.
For preparation of the item being shipped, consulting an
expertforhazardousmaterialisrequired.Pleasealso
observe possibly more detailed national regulations.
Tape or mask off open contacts and pack up the
battery in such a manner that it cannot move
around in the packaging.

8ENGLISH
11. Follow your local regulations relating to dis-
posal of battery.
12. Use the batteries only with the products
specied by Makita. Installing the batteries to
non-compliantproductsmayresultinare,exces-
sive heat, explosion, or leak of electrolyte.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS.
CAUTION: Only use genuine Makita batteries.
Use of non-genuine Makita batteries, or batteries that
have been altered, may result in the battery bursting
causingres,personalinjuryanddamage.Itwillalso
void the Makita warranty for the Makita tool and charger.
Tips for maintaining maximum
battery life
1. Charge the battery cartridge before completely dis-
charged. Always stop tool operation and charge the
battery cartridge when you notice less tool power.
2. Never recharge a fully charged battery cartridge.
Overcharging shortens the battery service life.
3. Charge the battery cartridge with room tempera-
ture at 10 °C - 40 °C (50 °F - 104 °F). Let a hot
battery cartridge cool down before charging it.
4. Charge the battery cartridge if you do not use
it for a long period (more than six months).
