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 or tamper the battery 

cartridge.

 It may result in a fire, excessive heat, 

or explosion.

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.

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 and use the tool and battery car-

tridge in locations where the temperature may 

reach or exceed 50 °C (122 °F).

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. 

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-

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. 

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 result in poor performance or 

breakdown of the tool or battery cartridge.

17. 

Unless the tool supports the use near 

high-voltage electrical power lines, do not use 

the battery cartridge near a high-voltage elec-

trical 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 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. 

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).
