and cautionary markings on (1) battery charger, (2)
battery, and (3) appliance 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 the appliance 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. 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 off open contacts and pack up the battery
in such a manner that it cannot move around in the
packaging.
11. Follow your local regulations relating to disposal of
battery.
12. 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.
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 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 appliance operation and charge the
battery cartridge when you notice less appliance
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. Charge the battery cartridge once in every six months
if you do not use it for a long period of time.
