8. 

Do not nail, cut, crush, throw, drop the battery 
cartridge, or hit against a hard object to the 
battery cartridge.

 Such conduct may result in a 

fire, excessive heat, or explosion.

9. 

Do not use a damaged battery.

10. 

The contained lithium-ion batteries are subject 
to the Dangerous Goods Legislation require-
ments. 

For commercial transports e.g. by third parties, 
forwarding agents, special requirement on pack-
aging and labeling must be observed. 
For preparation of the item being shipped, consult-

When disposing the battery cartridge, remove 
it from the tool and dispose of it in a safe 
place. 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, exces

-

sive heat, explosion, or leak of electrolyte.

13. 

If the tool is not used for a long period of time, 
the battery must be removed from the tool.

14. 

During and after use, the battery cartridge may 
take on heat which can cause burns or low 
temperature burns. Pay attention to the han-
dling of hot battery cartridges.

15. 

Do not touch the terminal of the tool imme-
diately after use as it may get hot enough to 
cause burns.

16. 

Do not allow chips, dust, or soil stuck into the 
terminals, holes, and grooves of the battery 
cartridge.

 It may cause heating, catching fire, 

burst and malfunction of the tool or battery car-

tridge, resulting in burns or personal injury.

17. 

Unless the tool supports the use near 
high-voltage electrical power lines, do not use 
the battery cartridge near high-voltage electri-
cal power lines.

 It may result in a malfunction or 

breakdown of the tool or battery cartridge.

18. 

Keep the battery away from children.

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 tempera-
ture 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.

5. 

Charge the battery cartridge if you do not use 
it for a long period (more than six months).
