When using electric tools, basic safety precautions should
always be followed to reduce the risk of fire, electric
shock, and personal injury, including the following:
1. Read this instr uction 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
ampli¿ers) 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 speaker with integral batteries or a
separate battery pack must be recharged only with the
speci¿ed charger for the battery. A charger that may be
suitable for one type of battery may create a risk of ¿re
when used with another battery.
7. Use battery operated speaker only with specifically
designated battery packs. Use of any other batteries
may create a risk of ¿re.
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 ¿re.
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. The MAINS plug is used as the disconnect device, and
it shall remain readily operable.
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 ¿re.
8. Be careful not to drop or strike battery.
9. Do not use a damaged battery.
10. The contained lithium-ion batteries are subject to
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.
Only use genuine Makita batteries. Use of non-genuine
Makita batteries, or batteries that have been altered, may
result in the battery bursting causing ¿res, 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).
