3. If operating time has become significantly
shorter than usual, 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-circuit the battery cartridge:
(1) Do not touch the terminals with any
conductive material.
(2) Avoid storing the battery cartridge in a
container with other metal objects such as
nails, coins, etc.
(3) Do not expose the battery cartridge to water
or rain.
A battery short-circuit can cause a large current
flow, overheating, possible burns and even a
breakdown.
6. Do not store the Robotic Cleaner and battery
cartridge in any location 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. Be careful not to drop or strike the battery
cartridge.
9. Do not use a damaged battery cartridge.
10. Follow your local regulations relating to the
disposal of battery cartridges.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS.
CAUTION: Only use genuine Makita batteries.
Using 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 it becomes
completely discharged. Always stop 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 within a room
temperature range of 10°C - 40°C (50°F - 104°F).
Let a hot battery cartridge cool down before
charging it.
4. It is recommended that you charge the battery
cartridge before storing it for a long period
(more than six months).
Tool/battery cartridge protection
system
The Robotic Cleaner is equipped with a tool/battery
cartridge protection system that automatically cuts
OFF the power to the motor to extend the life cycle of
the Robotic Cleaner and the battery cartridges. The
Robotic Cleaner automatically stops under the following
conditions.
Overload
When the Robotic Cleaner is overloaded and an
abnormally high current is drawn, the Robotic Cleaner
automatically stops without any indication.
To restart the Robotic Cleaner, turn the power OFF,
eliminate the cause of the overload, and then turn the
power back ON.
Overheating
When the Robotic Cleaner overheats, the
flashes 5 or 7 times for each sequence and the Robotic
Cleaner automatically stops.
In this case, leave the Robotic Cleaner to cool down
before turning the power back ON.
Overdischarge
When the remaining battery level becomes low, the
Robotic Cleaner automatically stops and does not
respond to any switch operations.
In this case, remove and recharge the battery
cartridges.
