Battery tool use and care
1.
Recharge only with the charger specified by the
manufacturer.
A charger that is suitable for one type
of battery pack may create a risk of fire when used
with another battery pack.
2.
Use power tools only with specifically designated
battery packs.
Use of any other battery packs may
create a risk of injury and fire.
3.
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.
4.
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.
5.
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.
6.
Do not expose a battery pack or tool to fire or
excessive temperature.
Exposure to fire or
temperature above 130°C may cause explosion.
7.
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.

Securing the trigger in the ON position is very
dangerous.
Never attempt to fasten the trigger.
3.
Do not attempt to keep the contact element
depressed with tape or wire.
Death or serious injury
may occur.
4.
Always check contact element as instructed in
this manual.
Fasteners may be driven accidentally if
the safety mechanism is not working correctly.
Service

Ask Makita authorized service center for
periodical inspection of the tool.
3.
To maintain product SAFETY and RELIABILITY,
maintenance and repairs should be performed by
Makita Authorized Service Centers, always using
Makita replacement parts.
