17. Unless the tool supports the use near

the battery cartridge near high-voltage electri-
cal power lines. It may result in a malfunction or

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS.
CAUTION: Only use genuine Makita batteries.

causing res, personal injury and damage. It will

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 car-
tridge. Overcharging shortens the battery
service life.
3. Charge the battery cartridge with room tem-
perature at 10 °C - 40 °C (50 °F - 104 °F). Let
a hot battery cartridge cool down before
charging it.
4. When not using the battery cartridge, remove
it from the tool or the charger.
5. Charge the battery cartridge if you do not use
it for a long period (more than six months).
