IMPORTANT SAFETY 
INSTRUCTIONS 
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. 

6. 

Do not store the tool and battery cartridge 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 fire. 

8. 

Be careful not to drop or strike battery.   

9. 

Do not use a damaged battery.   

10. 

Follow your local regulations relating to 
disposal of battery.   

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).
