8. 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.
9. Do not use a battery pack or tool that is damaged or
modified. Damaged or modified batteries may exhibit
unpredictable behaviour resulting in fire, explosion or
risk of injury.
10. Do not expose a battery pack or tool to fire or
excessive temperature. Exposure to fire or
temperature above 130 °C may cause explosion.
11. Follow all charging instructions and do not charge the
battery pack or tool outside the temperature range
specified in the instructions. Charging improperly or at
temperatures outside the specified range may
damage the battery and increase the risk of fire.
12. 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.
13. 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.
14. Be careful not to drop or strike battery.
15. 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.
16. The light source contained in this luminaire shall only
be replaced by the manufacture or his service agent or
a similar qualified person.
CAUTION:
1. When the tool is not in use, always switch off and
remove the battery cartridge from the tool.
2. Do not store the tool and battery cartridge in locations
where the temperature may reach or exceed 50 °C
(122 °F).
3. Do not give the tool a shock by dropping, striking, etc.
4. Do not expose the light to eyes continuously. It may
hurt them.
5. Do not cover or clog the lit tool with cloth or carton,
etc. Covering or clogging it may cause a flame.
6. Do not disassemble the charger or battery cartridge;
take it to a qualified serviceman when service or repair
is required. Incorrect reassembly may result in a risk
of electric shock or fire.
7. Use the tools only with specifically designated battery
packs. Use of any other battery packs may create a
risk of injury and 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 burns or a fire.
9. If operating time has become excessively shorter, stop
operating immediately. It may result in a risk of
overheating, possible burns and even an explosion.
10. Do not use a damaged battery.
11. The contained lithium-ion batteries are subject to the
Dangerous Goods Legislation requirements.

the packaging.
12. Follow your local regulations relating to disposal of
battery.
13. Use the batteries only with the products specified by
Makita. Installing the batteries to non-compliant
products may result in a fire, excessive heat,
explosion, or leak of electrolyte.
14. If any problem develops, consult your nearest Makita
Service Center or dealer. To maintain product safety
and reliability, repairs, maintenance or adjustment
should be carried out by Makita Authorized Service
Center.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS.
CAUTION:

personal injury and damage.
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 once in every six months
if you do not use it for a long period of time.
