only when hand-held.

4. This tool has not been waterproofed, so do not

use water on the workpiece surface.

5. Ventilate your work area adequately when you

perform sanding operations.

6. Some material contains chemicals which may

be toxic. Take caution to prevent dust inhala- tion and skin contact. Follow material supplier safety data.

7. Use of this tool to sand some products, paints

and wood could expose user to dust contain- ing hazardous substances. Use appropriate respiratory protection.

8. Be sure that there are no cracks or breakage

on the pad before use. Cracks or breakage may cause a personal injury.

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 with the battery

cartridge.Itmayresultinare,excessiveheat, 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.

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 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 ow, 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).

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 re.

8. Do not nail, cut, crush, throw, drop the battery

cartridge, or hit against a hard object to the battery cartridge.Suchconductmayresultina re,excessiveheat,orexplosion.

9. Do not use a damaged battery.

The contained lithium-ion batteries are subject to the Dangerous Goods Legislation requirements. Forcommercialtransportse.g.bythirdparties, forwarding agents, special requirement on pack- aging and labeling must be observed. For preparation of the item being shipped, consulting an expert for hazardous material is required. Please also observepossiblymoredetailednationalregulations. Tapeormasko󰀨opencontactsandpackupthe batteryinsuchamannerthatitcannotmove around in the packaging.11 ENGLISH

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

specied by Makita. Installing the batteries to non-compliantproductsmayresultinare,exces- siveheat,explosion,orleakofelectrolyte.

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.

Do not touch the terminal of the tool immediately 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.Itmaycauseheating,catchingre, burstandmalfunctionofthetoolorbatterycar- tridge,resultinginburnsorpersonalinjury.

17. Unless the tool supports the use near

high-voltage electrical power lines, do not use the battery cartridge near high-voltage electri- cal power lines.Itmayresultinamalfunctionor breakdownofthetoolorbatterycartridge.

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 havebeenaltered,mayresultinthebatterybursting causingres,personalinjuryanddamage.Itwillalso voidtheMakitawarrantyfortheMakitatoolandcharger. 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.

Never recharge a fully charged battery cartridge. Overcharging shortens the battery service life.

Charge the battery cartridge with room tempera- ture 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). Important safety instructions for wireless unit
