IMPORTANT SAFETY
INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING:
When using electric tools, basic safety precautions should
always be followed to reduce the risk of fire, electric
shock, and personal injury, including the following:
1. Read this instruction manual and the charger
instruction manual carefully before use.
2. Clean only with dry cloth.
3. Do not install near any heat sources such as
radiators, heat registers, stoves, or other apparatus
(including amplifiers) that produce heat.
4. Only use attachments/accessories specified by the
manufacturer.
5. Unplug this apparatus during lighting storms or when
unused for long periods of time.
6. A battery operated radio with integral batteries or a
separate battery pack must be recharged only with
the specified charger for the battery. A charger that
may be suitable for one type of battery may create a
risk of fire when used with another battery.
7. Use battery operated radio only with specifically
designated battery packs. Use of any other batteries
may create a risk of fire.
8. 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 sparks, burns,
or a fire.
9. 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.
10. 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.
11. The MAINS plug is used as the disconnect device,
and it shall remain readily operable.
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.
