13. 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 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 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).
ASSEMBLY
WARNING:
Always be sure that the lock key
and battery cartridge are removed before carrying
out any work on the mower. Failure to remove the
lock key and the battery cartridge may result in seri-
ous personal injury from accidental start-up.
WARNING:
Never start the mower unless it is
completely assembled. Operation of the machine
in a partially assembled state may result in serious
personal injury from accidental start-up.

tery cartridge before installing the battery cover.
