IMPORTANT SAFETY
INSTRUCTIONS
When using an electrical appliance,
basic precautions should always be fol-
lowed, including the following:
READ ALL
INSTRUCTIONS
BEFORE USING
THIS APPLIANCE.
WARNING
To reduce the risk of re, electric shock
or injury:
1. Do not leave appliance when battery
tted. Remove battery from appli-
ance when not in use and before
servicing.
2. Do not use on wet surfaces. Do not
expose to rain. Store indoors.
3. Do not allow to be used as a toy.
Close attention is necessary when
used by or near children.
4. Use only as described in this man-
ual. Use only manufacturer's recom-
mended attachments.
5. Do not use with damaged battery.
If appliance is not working as it
should, has been dropped, dam-
aged, left outdoors, or dropped into
water, return it to a service center.
6. Do not handle appliance with wet hands.
7. Do not put any object into openings.
Do not use with any opening blocked;
keep free of dust, lint, hair, and any-
thing that may reduce air ow.
8. Keep hair, loose clothing, ngers,
and all parts of body away from
openings and moving parts.
9. Turn off all controls before removing
the battery cartridge.
10. Use extra care when cleaning on stairs.
11. Do not use to pick up ammable or
combustible liquids, such as gaso-
line, or use in areas where they may
be present.
12. Do not pick up anything that is burn-
ing or smoking, such as cigarettes,
matches, or hot ashes.
13. Do not use without dust bag and/or
lters in place.
14. Do not charge the battery outdoors.
15. Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure
the switch is in the off-position before
connecting to battery pack, picking
up or carrying the appliance. Carrying
the appliance with your nger on the
switch or energizing appliance that have
the switch on invites accidents.

3ENGLISH
16. Disconnect the battery pack from
the appliance before making any
adjustments, changing accessories,
or storing appliance. Such preventive
safety measures reduce the risk of
starting the appliance accidentally.
17. 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.
18. Use appliances only with speci-
cally designated battery packs. Use
of any other battery packs may create
a risk of injury and re.
19. 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 terminals
together may cause burns or a re.
20. Under abusive conditions, liquid
may be ejected from the battery;
avoid contact. If contact acciden-
tally occurs, ush with water. If liq-
uid contacts eyes, additionally seek
medical help. Liquid ejected from the
battery may cause irritation or burns.
21. Do not use a battery pack or appliance
that is damaged or modied. Damaged
or modied batteries may exhibit
unpredictable behaviour resulting in
re, explosion or risk of injury.
22. Do not expose a battery pack or appli-
ance to re or excessive temperature.
Exposure to re or temperature above
130 °C may cause explosion.
23. Follow all charging instructions and do
not charge the battery pack or appli-
ance outside of the temperature range
specied in the instructions. Charging
improperly or at temperatures outside of
the specied range may damage the bat-
tery and increase the risk of re.
24. 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.
25. Do not modify or attempt to repair
the appliance or the battery pack
except as indicated in the instruc-
tions for use and care.
SAVE THESE
INSTRUCTIONS.

Important safety
instructions for
battery cartridge
1. Before using battery cartridge, read
all instructions and cautionary mark-
ings on (1) battery charger, (2) bat-
tery, and (3) product using battery.
2. Do not disassemble battery cartridge.
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 attention right away. It
may result in loss of your eyesight.
5. Do not short the battery cartridge:
(1) Do not touch the terminals with
any conductive material.
(2) Avoid storing battery cartridge
in a container with other metal
objects such as nails, coins, etc.
(3) Do not expose battery cartridge
to water or rain.
A battery short can cause a large
current ow, overheating, 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 car-
tridge even if it is severely damaged
or is completely worn out. The bat-
tery cartridge 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 requirements.
For commercial transports e.g. by third
parties, forwarding agents, special
requirement on packaging and labeling
must be observed.
For preparation of the item being
shipped, consulting an expert for haz-
ardous 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 man-
ner that it cannot move around in the
packaging.
11. Follow your local regulations relat-
ing to disposal of battery.
12. Use the batteries only with the prod-
ucts specied by Makita. Installing
the batteries to non-compliant products
may result in a re, excessive 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
discharged. Always stop tool operation and
charge the battery cartridge when you notice
less tool power.
2. Never recharge a fully charged battery car-
tridge. 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).

• Always switch off the tool before installing or
removing of the battery cartridge.
• To remove the battery cartridge, slide it from the
tool while sliding the button on the front of the
cartridge.
• To install the battery cartridge, align the tongue
on the battery cartridge with the groove in the
housing and slip it into place. Always insert it all
the way until it locks in place with a little click. If
you can see the red indicator on the upper side of
the button, it is not locked completely. Install it fully
until the red indicator cannot be seen. If not, it may
accidentally fall out of the tool, causing injury to
you or someone around you.
• Do not use force when installing the battery car-
tridge. If the cartridge does not slide in easily, it is
not being inserted correctly.
Battery protection system (Lithium-
ion battery with star marking)
1
► 1. Star marking
Lithium-ion batteries with a star marking are equipped
with a protection system. This system automatically
cuts off power to the tool to extend battery life.
The tool will automatically stop during operation if the
tool and/or battery are placed under one of the following
conditions:
• Overloaded:
The tool is operated in a manner that causes
it to draw an abnormally high current.
In this situation, release the trigger switch on
the tool and stop the application that caused
the tool to become overloaded. Then pull the
trigger switch again to restart.
If the tool does not start, the battery is over-
heated. In this situation, let the battery cool
before pulling the trigger switch again.
• Low battery voltage:
The remaining battery capacity is too low
and the tool will not operate. In this situation,
remove and recharge the battery.
