• Always be sure that the appliance is switched off,
unplugged, and the battery cartridge is removed
before adjusting or checking function on the appliance.
Use with battery:
Installing or removing battery cartridge
CAUTION:
• Always unplug before installing or removing of the
battery cartridge.
• Only use genuine Makita lithium-ion 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.
• Hold the appliance and the battery cartridge firmly
when installing or removing battery cartridge.
Failure to hold the appliance and the battery cartridge
firmly may cause them to slip off your hands and result
in damage to the appliance and battery cartridge and a
personal injury.
• Be careful not to trap finger(s) between the appliance
and battery cartridge when loading battery cartridge as
well as between the appliance and the battery cover
when closing the battery cover.
To install the battery cartridge, release the cover lock,
and open the battery cover. (Fig. 1)
Insert the battery cartridge. Align the tongue on the
battery cartridge with the groove in the housing and slip
it into place. Insert it all the way until it locks in place with
a little click. If you can see the red indicator on the upper
side of the button, it is not locked completely. Then close
the battery cover. (Fig. 2)
To remove the battery cartridge, slide it from the tool
while sliding the button on the front of the cartridge.
CAUTION:
• Always install the battery cartridge fully in place. If not,
it may accidentally fall out of the appliance, causing
injury to you or someone around you.
