FOR BATTERY CARTRIDGE

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.

1. Do not store the tool and battery cartridge in locations where the temperature may reach or exceed 50^ C ( 122^ F).

2. 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.

3. Be careful not to drop or strike battery.

4. Do not use a damaged battery.

5. The contained lithium-ion-batteries are subject to the Dangerous Goods Legislation requirements.

For commercial transports e.g. by third parties, forwarding agents, special requirement on packaging and labeling must be observed.

For preparation of the item being shipped, consulting 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.

1. Follow your local regulations relating to disposal of battery.

2. 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.

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 temperature 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).

Installing or removing the slide battery cartridge (Fig. 5)

WARNING:

Recharge only with the charger specified for the battery. Use of any other batteries may create a risk of fire.

• Always switch off the tool before installing or removing of the battery cartridge.
• To remove the battery cartridge, slide it from the tool while pressing the button on the front of the cartridge.
• To install the battery cartridge, align the tongue on the battery cartridge with the groove in the housing and slip it into place.

Always insert it all the way until it locks in place with a click. If you can see the red indicator on the upper side of the button, it is not locked completely. Install it fully until the red indicator cannot be seen. If not, it may accidentally fall out of the tool, causing injury to you or to someone around you.
