Makita MR004G Instruction Manual page 5

should always be followed to reduce the risk of fire,
electric shock, and personal injury, including the
following:
1. Read this instruction manual and the charger
instruction manual carefully before use.
2. Clean only with dry cloth.
3. Do not install near any heat sources such as
radiators, heat registers, stoves, or other apparatus
(including amplifiers) that produce heat.
4. Only use attachments/accessories specified by the
manufacturer.
5. Unplug this apparatus during lighting storms or
when unused for long periods of time.
6. A battery operated radio with integral batteries or a
separate battery pack must be recharged only with
the specified charger for the battery. A charger that
may be suitable for one type of battery may create a
risk of fire when used with another battery.
7. Use battery operated radio only with specifically
designated battery packs. Use of any other batteries
may create a risk of 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
sparks, burns, or a fire.
9. Avoid body contact with grounded surfaces such
as pipes, radiators, ranges and refrigerators. There
is an increased risk of electric shock if your body is
grounded.
10. 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.
11. 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.
12. Do not expose a battery pack or tool to fire
or excessive temperature. Exposure to fire or
temperature above 130°C (266°F) may cause
explosion.
13. 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.
14. If the tool is not used for a long period of time, the
battery must be removed from the tool.
15. Keep the battery away from children.
16. The MAINS plug is used as the disconnect device,
and it shall remain readily operable.
17. Do not use the product at a high volume for any
extended period. To avoid hearing damage, use the
product at moderate volume level.
18. (For products with LCD display only) LCD displays
include liquid which may cause irritation and
poisoning. If the liquid enters the eyes, mouth or
skin, rinse it with water and call a doctor.
19. Do not expose the product to rain or wet conditions.
Water entering the product will increase the risk of
electric shock.
20. This product is not intended for use by persons
(including children) with reduced physical, sensory
or mental capabilities, or lack of experience
and knowledge, unless they have been given
supervision or instruction concerning use of the
product by a person responsible for their safety.
Children should be supervised to ensure that they
do not play with the product. Store the product out
of the reach of children.
21. Do not heat or expose the radio to fire or leave it in
a hot location such as near a heat source, exposed
to direct sunlight, or inside a vehicle under the
blazing sun. Doing so may cause a fire or explosion
and result in personal injury.

(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,
