conductive material.
(2) Avoid storing battery cartridge in a container

the Dangerous Goods Legislation requirements.
For commercial transports e.g. by third parties,
forwarding agents, special requirement on packaging
and labeling must be observed.
For preparation of the item being shipped, consulting
an expert for hazardous material is required. Please
also observe possibly more detailed national
regulations.
Tape or mask off open contacts and pack up the
battery in such a manner that it cannot move around in
the packaging.
11. Follow your local regulations relating to disposal
of battery.
12. To avoid risk, the manual of replaceable the battery
should be read before use.
And the max discharging current of the battery should
be greater than or equal to 8A.
CAUTION:
• Danger of explosion if battery is incorrectly replaced.

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).

WARNING:
Recharge only with the charger specified for the battery.
Use of any other batteries may create a risk of fire.
• Always switch off the tool before installing or removing
of the battery cartridge.
• To remove the battery cartridge, slide it from the tool
while pressing the button on the front of the cartridge.
• To install the battery cartridge, align the tongue on the
battery cartridge with the groove in the housing and slip
it into place.
Always insert it all the way until it locks in place with a
click. If you can see the red indicator on the upper side of
the button, it is not locked completely. Install it fully until
the red indicator cannot be seen. If not, it may accidentally
fall out of the tool, causing injury to you or to someone
around you.
