• Flammable liquid (kerosene,
gasoline, solvents such as ben-
zine, thinner, etc.)
• Hot substances that are burn-
ing or smoking (cigarettes,
matches, incense sticks, can-
dles, hot ashes), sparks and
metal dust generated by cutting
or grinding metal, etc.
• Flammable material (toner,

the OSHA website: www.osha.gov.
Battery tool use and care
1. Prevent unintentional starting.
Ensure the switch is in the o󰀨-po-
sition before connecting to battery
pack, picking up or carrying the
appliance. Carrying the appliance with
your nger on the switch or energiz-
ing appliance that have the switch on
invites accidents.
2. 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.

4ENGLISH
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 appliances only with specically desig-
nated 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 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.
7. Do not use a battery pack or appli-
ance that is damaged or modied.
Damaged or modied batteries may
exhibit unpredictable behavior result-
ing in re, explosion or risk of injury.
8. 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.
9. 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.
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 appli-
ance or the battery pack except as indicated
in the instructions for use and care.
SAVE THESE
INSTRUCTIONS.
This appliance is intended for commer-
cial use.

Important safety
instructions for
battery cartridge
1. Before using battery cartridge,
read all instructions and cautionary
markings on (1) battery charger,
(2) battery, 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.

5ENGLISH
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
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 man-
ner that it cannot move around in
the packaging.
11. Follow your local regulations relat-
ing to disposal of battery.
12. When disposing the battery car-
tridge, remove it from the tool and
dispose of it in a safe place.
13. 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.
14. If the tool is not used for a long
period of time, the battery must be
removed from the tool.
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 tem-
perature 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).
