tions and cautionary markings on (1) battery charger, (2) battery, and (3) product using battery.

2. Do not disassemble built-in battery.

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 built-in battery:

(1) Do not touch the terminals with any con- ductive material. (2) Avoid storing built-in battery in a con- tainer with other metal objects such as nails, coins, etc. (3) Do not expose built-in battery 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 appliance and built-in

battery in locations where the temperature may reach or exceed 50 °C (122 °F).

7. Do not incinerate the built-in battery even if

it is severely damaged or is completely worn out. The built-in battery can explode in a re.

8. Be careful not to drop or strike battery.

9. Do not use a damaged built-in battery.

10. The contained lithium-ion batteries are subject

to the Dangerous Goods Legislation require- ments. When disposing the battery, remove it from the appliance and dispose of it in a safe place. Follow your local regulations relating to disposal of battery.

11. Use the batteries only with the products speci-

ed by Makita. SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS. Tips for maintaining maximum battery life

1. Charge the built-in battery before completely

discharged. Always stop appliance operation and charge the built-in battery when you notice less appli- ance power.

2. Never recharge a fully charged built-in battery.

Overcharging shortens the battery service life.

3. Charge the built-in battery with room tempera-

ture at 10°C - 40°C (50°F - 104°F). Let a hot built-in battery cool down before charging it.

4. Charge the built-in battery once in every six

months if you do not use the appliance for a long period of time. FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION CAUTION: Always be sure that the appliance is switched o󰀨 before adjusting or checking func- tion on the appliance. Charging the built-in battery CAUTION: Only use genuine Makita batteries. Use of non-genuine Makita batteries, or batteries that have been altered, may result in the battery bursting causingres,personalinjuryanddamage.Itwillalso void the Makita warranty for the Makita product and charger. CAUTION: Always disconnect the charging plug from the cleaner after charging. CAUTION: Do not leave the charger in the mains after disconnecting the appliance. Small children may put the live plug in their mouth and causeinjury. Chargethecleanerwhenusingitforthersttimeor uncharged for a long time.

Cyclone attachment Optional accessory ►Fig.45: 1. Release button 2. Hook 3. Extension wand 4. Cyclone attachment 5. Suction inlet About the cyclone attachment Using the cleaner with the cyclone attachment installed reduces the amount of dust that enters the capsule, which helps to prevent the suction force from weaken- ing. In addition, cleaning after use is also simple. CAUTION: Always be sure that the appliance is switched o󰀨 before carrying out any work on the appliance. CAUTION: Clean the mesh lter of the cyclone attachment and the lters of the cleaner unit when they become clogged. Continued use in the clogged condition may result in heating or smoke.17 ENGLISH NOTICE: When the cyclone attachment is attached, do not use the cleaner in a horizontal or upward facing position. Doing so may cause the meshltertobecomeclogged. NOTICE: Always use the cleaner with the lters installed, even when using the cyclone attach- ment.Usingthecleanerwithouttheltersinstalled may result in a motor malfunction. NOTE: Check that the cyclone attachment, cleaner, and extension wand are locked properly before use. NOTE: Empty the dust case of the cyclone attach- ment and the capsule of the cleaner when dust has accumulated. Continued use will result in weakened suction force. NOTE: You can also use the cyclone attachment with- out lock function. NOTE: To install or remove the cyclone attachment, refer to the section "Installing and removing cleaner attachments". Disposing of dust When dust has accumulated up to the full line of the dust case, follow the procedure below and dispose of the dust.

2. Dispose of the dust inside the dust case and

remove any dust and powder adhered to the surface of themeshlter.

3. Insert the dust case all the way until the two but-
