Read, understand and follow all instructions and warnings in tool or charger instruction
manual as well as those provided with recommended accessories.
Keep guards in place and in working order.
Use recommended accessories only.
Check damaged parts. (Before further use of the tool, a guard or other part that is
damaged should be carefully checked to determine that it will operate properly and
perform its intended function).
A guard or other part that is damaged should be properly repaired or replaced by an
authorized service center.
Keep work area clean. Cluttered areas and benches invite injuries.
Consider work area environment. Do not use power tools in damp or wet locations.
Keep work area well lit. Do not expose power tools to rain. Do not use tools or chargers
in presence of flammable liquids or gases.
Keep children away. All visitors should be kept away from work area.
Store idle tools. When not in use, tools should be stored high or locked up out of reach
of children.
Use the right tool. Do not force a small tool or attachment to do the job of a heavy
duty tool. Do not use tool or accessories for purpose not intended. Only use proper,
recommended accessories for the tool being used. Only use genuine Makita batteries

mask if operation is dusty.
Don’t abuse cord. Never carry tool by cord or yank it to disconnect from receptacle.
Secure work. Use clamps or a vise to hold workpiece. It can be safer and it frees both
hands to operate and control tool.
Maintain tools with care. Keep tools sharp and clean for best and safest
performance. Follow instructions for lubrication and changing accessories.
Un-plug tools. When not in use, before servicing, and when changing accessories.
Remove adjusting keys and wrenches. Form a habit of checking to see that keys and
adjusting wrenches are removed from tool before turning it on.

sure switch is OFF when plugging in.

intended for use outdoors and so marked.
