10. Avoid body contact with grounded surfaces such as
pipes, radiators, ranges and refrigerators. There is an
increased risk of electric shock if your body is grounded.
11. Under abusive conditions, liquid may be ejected from
the battery; avoid contact. If contact accidentally
occurs, flush with water. If liquid contacts eyes,
additionally seek medical help. Liquid ejected from the
battery may cause irritation or burns.
12. Do not use a battery pack or tool that is damaged or
modified. Damaged or modified batteries may exhibit
unpredictable behavior resulting in fire, EXPLOSION
or risk of injury.
13. Do not expose a battery pack or tool to fire
or excessive temperature. Exposure to fire or
temperature above 130°C may cause explosion.
14. Follow all charging instructions and do not charge the
battery pack or tool outside the temperature range
specified in the instructions. Charging improperly
or at temperatures outside the specified range may
damage the BATTERY and increase the risk of fire.

SPECIFIC SAFETY RULES
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
flow, overheating, possible burns and even a
breakdown.
6. Do not store and use 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 fire.
8. Do not nail, cut, crush, throw, drop the battery
cartridge, or hit against a hard object to the battery
cartridge. Such conduct may result in a fire, excessive
heat, or explosion.
9. Do not use a damaged battery.
10. To avoid risk, the manual of replaceable the battery
should be read before use. And the max discharging
current of the battery should be greater than or equal
to 8A.
11. The contained lithium-ion batteries are subject to the
Dangerous Goods Legislation requirements.
12. When disposing the battery cartridge, remove it from
the tool and dispose of it in a safe place. Follow your
local regulations relating to disposal of battery.
13. Use the batteries only with the products specified
by Makita. Installing the batteries to non-compliant
products may result in a fire, 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.
15. During and after use, the battery cartridge may take
on heat which can cause burns or low temperature
burns.
16. Do not touch the terminal of the tool immediately after
use as it may get hot enough to cause burns.
17. Do not allow chips, dust, or soil stuck into the
terminals, holes, and grooves of the battery cartridge.
It may result in poor performance or breakdown of the
tool or battery cartridge.
18. Unless the tool supports the use near a high-voltage
electrical power lines, do not use the battery cartridge
near a high-voltage electrical power lines. It may
result in a malfunction or breakdown of the tool or
battery cartridge.
19. Keep the battery away from children.
CAUTION:
● Danger of explosion if battery is incorrectly replaced.
● Replace only with the same or equivalent type.
● Only use genuine Makita batteries. Use of non-
genuine Makita batteries, or batteries that have been
altered, may result in the battery bursting causing
fires 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 cartridge.
Overcharging shortens the battery service life.
3. Charge the battery cartridge with room temperature at
10°C - 40°C (50°F - 104°F). Let a hot battery cartridge
cool down before charging it.
4. When not using the battery cartridge, remove it from
the tool or the charger.
5. Charge the battery cartridge if you do not use it for a
long period (more than six months).
