27. 

Use extreme caution when cleaning on stairs.

28. 

Do not use the cleaner as a stool or work 

bench. The machine may fall down and may 

result in personal injury.

Battery tool use and care

1. 

Recharge only with the charger specified by 

the manufacturer.

 A charger that is suitable for 

one type of battery pack may create a risk of fire 

when used with another battery pack.

2. 

Use power tools only with specifically desig

-

nated battery packs.

 Use of any other battery 

packs may create a risk of injury and fire.

3. 

When battery pack is not in use, keep it away 

from other metal objects, like paper clips, 

coins, keys, nails, screws or other small metal 

objects, that can make a connection from one 

terminal to another.

 Shorting the battery termi-

nals together may cause burns or a fire.

4. 

Under abusive conditions, liquid may be 

ejected from the battery; avoid contact. If con-

tact accidentally occurs, flush with water. If 

liquid contacts eyes, additionally seek medical 

help.

 Liquid ejected from the battery may cause 

irritation or burns.

5. 

Do not use a battery pack or tool that is dam-

aged or modified.

 Damaged or modified batteries 

may exhibit unpredictable behaviour resulting in 

fire, explosion or risk of injury.

6. 

Do not expose a battery pack or tool to fire or 

excessive temperature.

 Exposure to fire or tem-

perature above 130 °C may cause explosion.

7. 

Follow all charging instructions and do not 

charge the battery pack or tool outside the 

temperature range specified in the instruc

-

tions.

 Charging improperly or at temperatures 

outside the specified range may damage the 

battery and increase the risk of fire.

Service

1. 

Have your power tool serviced by a qualified 

repair person using only identical replacement 

parts.

 This will ensure that the safety of the power 

tool is maintained.

2. 

Follow instruction for lubricating and chang-

ing accessories.

3. 

Keep handles dry, clean and free from oil and 

grease.

Important safety instructions for 

battery cartridge

1. 

Before using battery cartridge, read all instruc-

tions 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 overheating, possible burns 

and even an explosion.

4. 

If electrolyte gets into your eyes, rinse them 

out with clear water and seek medical atten-

tion 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 con-

ductive material.

(2) 

Avoid storing battery cartridge in a con-

tainer 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 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.

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 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-

ing 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 dis-

posal 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.

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).
