conductive material.
(2)
Avoid storing battery cartridge in a container
with other metal objects such as nails, coins,

6.
Do not store 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

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

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 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.
Charge the battery cartridge if you do not use it for
a long period (more than six months).
FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION
CAUTION:
• Always be sure that the tool is switched off and the
battery cartridge is removed before adjusting or
checking function on the tool.
Installing or removing battery cartridge
(Fig. 1)
• Always switch off the tool before installing or removing
of the battery cartridge.
• To remove the battery cartridge, slide it from the tool
while sliding the button on the front of the cartridge.
• To install the battery cartridge, align the tongue on the
battery cartridge with the groove in the housing and slip
it into place. Always insert it all the way until it locks in
place with a little click. If you can see the red indicator
on the upper side of the button, it is not locked
completely. Install it fully until the red indicator cannot
be seen. If not, it may accidentally fall out of the tool,
causing injury to you or someone around you.
• Do not use force when installing the battery cartridge. If
the cartridge does not slide in easily, it is not being
inserted correctly.
