6. Do not use this unit on an unstable surface, or
unstable high places.
7. During operation, keep the cord away from
obstacles. The cord caught by obstacles may
cause serious injury.
8. Do not insert the adapters into the charger.
9. Inspect the unit including cords and harness
before use. If they are damaged, ask your local
Makita Authorized Service Center for repair.
10. When attaching the cord to the cord holder, be
sure to attach it slowly and securely.
11. Always make sure that the tool or machine is
switched o󰀨 and the socket is removed before
attempting to perform inspection or mainte-
nance of the tool or machine.
12. When using this unit with a tool equipped with
a blade, be sure to keep the cord away from
the blade.
13. When wearing the unit, do not put on anything,
such as safety harness or shoulder belt, which
may interfere the emergency detachment func-
tion of the unit.
14. Do not use this unit while you are climbing up
in a tree.
15. Do not use this unit when you are wearing
cordless fan jacket or cordless heated jacket.
16. Do not expose this unit to sparks.
17. When using this unit without wearing it or

Battery tool use and care
1. Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure the
switch is in the o󰀨-position before connecting
to battery pack, picking up or carrying the
tool or machine. Carrying the tool or machine
with your nger on the switch or energizing tool or
machine that have the switch on invites accidents.
2. Disconnect the battery pack from the tool
or machine before making any adjustments,
changing accessories, or storing tool or
machine. Such preventive safety measures
reduce the risk of starting the tool or machine
accidentally.
3. 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.
4. Use tools or machines only with specically
designated battery packs. Use of any other
battery packs may create a risk of injury and re.
5. 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.
6. Under abusive conditions, liquid may be
ejected from the battery; avoid contact. If con-
tact accidentally occurs, ush with water. If
liquid contacts eyes, seek medical help. Liquid
ejected from the battery may cause irritation or
burns.
7. Do not use a battery pack, tool, or machine
that is damaged or modied. Damaged or
modied batteries may exhibit unpredictable
behaviour resulting in re, explosion or risk of
injury.
8. Do not expose a battery pack, tool, or machine
to re or excessive temperature. Exposure to
re or temperature above 130°C (265°F) may
cause explosion.
9. Follow all charging instructions and do not
charge the battery pack, tool, or machine out-
side of the temperature range specied in the
instructions. Charging improperly or at tempera-
tures outside of the specied range may damage
the battery and increase the risk of re.

4ENGLISH
10. Have servicing performed by a qualied repair
person using only identical replacement parts.
This will ensure that the safety of the product is
maintained.
11. Do not modify or attempt to repair the tool or
machine, or the battery pack except as indi-
cated in the instructions for use and care.
Electrical and battery safety
1. Do not dispose of the battery(ies) in a re.
The cell may explode. Check with local codes for
possible special disposal instructions.
2. Do not open or mutilate the battery(ies).
Released electrolyte is corrosive and may cause
damage to the eyes or skin. It may be toxic if
swallowed.
3. Do not charge battery in rain, or in wet
locations.
4. Do not charge the battery outdoors.
5. Do not handle charger, including charger plug,
and charger terminals with wet hands.

Important safety instructions for
battery
1. Before using battery, read all instructions and
cautionary markings on (1) battery charger, (2)
battery, and (3) product using battery.
2. Do not disassemble battery.
3. If operating time has become excessively
shorter, stop operating immediately. It may
result in a risk of overheating, possible burns
and even an explosion.
4. If electrolyte gets into your eyes, rinse them
out with clear water and seek medical atten-
tion right away. It may result in loss of your
eyesight.
5. Do not short the battery:
(1) Do not touch the terminals with any con-
ductive material.
(2) Avoid storing battery in a container with
other metal objects such as nails, coins,
etc.
(3) Do not expose battery to water or rain.
A battery short can cause a large current
ow, overheating, possible burns and even a
breakdown.
6. Do not store and use the tool/machine and
battery in locations where the temperature
may reach or exceed 50 °C (122 °F).
7. Do not incinerate the battery even if it is
severely damaged or is completely worn out.
The battery can explode in a re.
8. Be careful not to drop or strike battery.
9. Do not use a damaged battery.
10. The contained lithium-ion batteries are subject
to the Dangerous Goods Legislation require-
ments.
For commercial transports e.g. by third parties,
forwarding agents, special requirement on pack-
aging and labeling must be observed.
For preparation of the item being shipped, consult-
ing an expert for hazardous material is required.
Please also observe possibly more detailed
national regulations.
Tape or mask o󰀨 open contacts and pack up the
battery in such a manner that it cannot move
around in the packaging.
11. When disposing the battery, remove it from the
tool and dispose of it in a safe place. Follow
your local regulations relating to disposal of
battery.
12. Use the battery only with the products speci-
ed by Makita. Installing the battery to non-com-
pliant products may result in a re, excessive heat,
explosion, or leak of electrolyte.
13. If the tool/machine is not used for a long
period of time, the battery must be removed
from the tool.
14. Keep the battery away from children.
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 before completely dis-
charged. Always stop tool/machine operation
and charge the battery when you notice less
tool power.
2. Never recharge a fully charged battery.
Overcharging shortens the battery service life.
3. Charge the battery with room temperature at
10 °C - 40 °C (50 °F - 104 °F). Let a hot battery
cool down before charging it.
4. Charge the battery if you do not use it for a
long period (more than six months).

Utilisation et entretien de l’outil à batterie
1.
Prévenez le démarrage accidentel. Assurez-
vous que l’interrupteur est en position d’arrêt
avant de connecter la machine à la batterie,
de la saisir ou de la transporter. Transporter la
machine avec le doigt sur l’interrupteur ou la mettre
sous tension alors que son interrupteur est en
position de marche ouvre la porte aux accidents.
2. Retirez la batterie de la machine avant de pro-
céder à des réglages, au remplacement d’ac-
cessoires ou au rangement de la machine. De
telles mesures de sécurité préventives réduisent
le risque de démarrage accidentel de la machine.
3. Ne la rechargez qu’avec le chargeur spécié
par le fabricant. Un chargeur conçu pour un
certain type de batterie risque de déclencher un
incendie s’il est utilisé avec une autre batterie.
4. N’utilisez les outils ou machines qu’avec
les batteries spéciquement désignées.
L’utilisation d’autres batteries peut présenter un
risque de blessure et d’incendie.
5. Lorsque la batterie n’est pas utilisée, tenez-la à
distance des objets métalliques tels que trom-
bones, pièces de monnaie, clés, clous, vis ou
autres petits objets métalliques, conducteurs
potentiels entre une borne et une autre. Un
court-circuit entre les bornes de la batterie peut
provoquer des brûlures ou un incendie.
6. Dans des conditions d’utilisation inadéquates
de la batterie, il peut y avoir fuite d’électrolyte;
évitez tout contact. En cas de contact acciden-
tel, rincez avec beaucoup d’eau. Si du liquide
entre en contact avec les yeux, consultez un
médecin. Le liquide qui gicle de la batterie peut
provoquer des irritations ou des brûlures.
7.
N’utilisez pas une batterie ou une machine
endommagée ou modiée. Les batteries endom-
magées ou modiées peuvent se comporter de
manière imprévisible et entraîner un incendie,
une explosion ou un risque de blessure.
8. N’exposez pas une batterie ou une machine
au feu ou à une température excessive.
L’exposition au feu ou à une température
supérieure à 130 °C (265 °F) peut provoquer
une explosion.
