USER MANUAL DMR108 MAKITA

ENGLISH (Original instructions) Symbols The following show the symbols used for the equipment. Be sure that you understand their meaning before use. IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

When using electric tools, basic safety precautions should always be followed to reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, and personal injury, including the following:

1. Read this instruction manual and the charger

instruction manual carefully before use.

2. Clean only with dry cloth.

3. Do not install near any heat sources such as radiators,

heat registers, stoves, or other apparatus (including amplifiers) that produce heat.

4. Only use attachments/accessories specified by the

5. Unplug this apparatus during lighting storms or when

unused for long periods of time.

6. A battery operated radio with integral batteries or a

separate battery pack must be recharged only with the specified charger for the battery. A charger that may be suitable for one type of battery may create a risk of fire when used with another battery.

7. Use battery operated radio only with specifically

designated battery packs. Use of any other batteries may create a risk of fire.

8. 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 terminals together may cause sparks, burns, or a fire.

9. Avoid body contact with grounded surfaces such as

pipes, radiators, ranges and refrigerators. There is an increased risk of electric shock if your body is grounded.

10. Under abusive conditions, liquid may be ejected from

the battery; avoid contact. If contact accidentally occurs, flush with water. If liquid contacts eyes, additionally seek medical help. Liquid ejected from the battery may cause irritation or burns. SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS.

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 overheating, possible burns and even an explosion.

4. If electrolyte gets into your eyes, rinse them out with

clear water and seek medical attention 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 conductive material. (2) Avoid storing battery cartridge in a container 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. To avoid risk, the manual of replaceable the battery

should be read before use. And the max discharging current of the battery should be greater than or equal to 8A. CAUTION:

• Danger of explosion if battery is incorrectly replaced.

• Replace only with the same or equivalent type. Explanation of general view (Fig. 1)

Read instruction manual. Only for EU countries Due to the presence of hazardous components in the equipment, waste electrical and electronic equipment, accumulators and batteries may have a negative impact on the environment and human health. Do not dispose of electrical and electronic appliances or batteries with household waste! In accordance with the European Directive on waste electrical and electronic equipment and on accumulators and batteries and waste accumulators and batteries, as well as their adaptation to national law, waste electrical equipment, batteries and accumulators should be stored separately and delivered to a separate collection point for municipal waste, operating in accordance with the regulations on environmental protection. This is indicated by the symbol of the crossed-out wheeled bin placed on the equipment.
