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 the tool is not used for a long period of time, the
battery must be removed from the tool.
15. Do not allow chips, dust, or soil stuck into the
terminals, holes, and grooves of the battery cartridge.
It may result in poor performance or breakdown of the
tool or battery cartridge.
16. Keep the battery away from children.
CAUTION:
● Danger of explosion if battery is incorrectly
replaced.
● Replace only with the same or equivalent type.
● 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. 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).
