17.
Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure the
switch is in the off-position before inserting
battery cartridges, picking up or carrying the
machine. Carrying the machine with your fin
-
ger on the switch or energizing the machine
that has the switch on invites accidents.
18.
Do not operate the machine near flammable
materials.
19.
Avoid operating the machine for a long time in
low temperature environment.
20.
Do not use the machine when there is a risk of
lightning.
21.
When you use the machine on muddy ground,
wet slope, or slippery place, pay attention to
your footing.
22.
Do not use the machine in bad weather where
visibility is limited.
Failure to do so may cause
fall or incorrect operation due to low visibility.
23.
Do not submerge the machine into a puddle.
24.
Do not leave the machine unattended outdoors
in the rain.
25.

After operation
1.
Always wash yourself thoroughly with soap
and water after spraying or handling chemi-
cals. Shower immediately, and wash all pro-
tective clothing separately from other items.
Follow any additional recommendations of the
chemical manufacturer.
2.
Empty, rinse and clean the tank and strainer
after each use. This helps to prevent the
solution from crystallizing, which could later
cause clogging and chemical damage to the
machine. In addition, residual chemicals may
have undesirable effects during subsequent
spraying with a different type of chemical (e.g.,
residual herbicide may damage or kill plants
being sprayed with a pesticide).
3.
Do not store the machine with spray solution
in the tank.
Maintenance and storage
1.
Keep all nuts, bolts and screws tight to be sure
the machine is in safe working condition.
2.
If the parts are worn or damaged, replace them
with parts provided by Makita.
3.
Store the machine in a dry place out of the
reach of children.
4.
When you stop the machine for inspection, ser-
vicing, storage, or changing accessory, switch
off the machine and make sure that all moving
parts come to a complete stop, and remove the
battery cartridges. Cool down the machine before
making any work on the machine. Maintain the
machine with care and keep it clean.
5.
Always cool down the machine before storing.
6.
When you lift the machine, be sure to bend
your knees and be careful not to hurt your
back.
7.
When washing the machine, do not let water
enter the electrical mechanism such as bat-
tery, motor, and terminals.
8.
When storing the machine, avoid direct sun-
light and rain, and store it in a place where it
does not get hot or humid.
9.
When carrying the machine, be sure to hold
the machine firmly.
10.

get the cord caught by obstacles.
Battery tool use and care
1.
Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure the
switch is in the off-position before connecting
to battery pack, picking up or carrying the
machine.
Carrying the machine with your finger
on the switch or energizing machine that have the
switch on invites accidents.
2.
Disconnect the battery pack from the machine
before making any adjustments, changing
accessories, or storing machine.
Such preven-
tive safety measures reduce the risk of starting the
machine accidentally.
3.
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.
4.
Use machines only with specifically desig
-
nated battery packs.
Use of any other battery
packs may create a risk of injury and fire.
5.
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.
6.
Under abusive conditions, liquid may be
ejected from the battery; avoid contact. If con-
tact accidentally occurs, flush with water. If
liquid contacts eyes, seek medical help.
Liquid
ejected from the battery may cause irritation or
burns.
7.
Do not use a battery pack or machine that is
damaged or modified. Damaged or modified
batteries may exhibit unpredictable behaviour
resulting in fire, explosion or risk of injury.
8.
Do not expose a battery pack or machine to
fire or excessive temperature. Exposure to fire
or temperature above 130°C (265°F) may cause
explosion.
9.
Follow all charging instructions and do not
charge the battery pack or machine outside of
the temperature range specified in the instruc
-
tions.
Charging improperly or at temperatures
outside of the specified range may damage the
battery and increase the risk of fire.
10.
Have servicing performed by a qualified repair
person using only identical replacement parts.
This will ensure that the safety of the product is
maintained.
11.
Do not modify or attempt to repair the machine
or the battery pack except as indicated in the
instructions for use and care.
