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

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.

explosion, or leak of electrolyte.
14. If the tool is not used for a long period of time, the
battery must be removed from the tool.
15. During and after use, the battery cartridge may take
on heat which can cause burns or low temperature
burns.
16. Do not touch the terminal of the tool immediately
after use as it may get hot enough to cause burns.
17. Do not allow chips, dust, or soil stuck into the
terminals, holes, and grooves of the battery
cartridge. It may result in poor performance or
breakdown of the tool or battery cartridge.
18. Unless the tool supports the use near a high-

CAUTION:
●
Danger of explosion if battery is incorrectly
replaced.
●
Replace only with the same or equivalent type.
●
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. When not using the battery cartridge, remove it from
the tool or the charger.
