SAFETY WARNINGS

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS.

WARNING: 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 instruction manual carefully before use. If you use a Makita charger, also read the charger instruction manual.
  2. Clean only with dry cloth. Do not use water for cleaning.
  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 appliance during lightning storms or when unused for long periods of time.
  6. The battery pack must be recharged only with this radio or 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 refrigerator. 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 and radio that is damaged or modified. Doing so 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 temperatures 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. The MAINS plug is used as the disconnect device. The MAINS plug shall remain readily operable.
  15. Do not use the product at a high volume for any extended period. To avoid hearing damage, use the product at moderate volume level.
  16. 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.
  17. Do not expose the product to rain or wet conditions. Water entering the product will increase the risk of electric shock.
  18. 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.
  19. Be careful not to pinch your fingers when opening and closing the battery cover.
  20. Return the battery compartment locker to the original position, after installing or removing battery pack. If not, battery pack may accidentally fall out of the radio, causing injury to you or someone around you.
  21. Always close and lock the battery compartment locker before moving the radio.
  22. When the radio is powered from the battery, switch off the radio before removing the battery pack.
  23. Be careful not to drop or strike the radio. Broken shell may slash your finger or stab your body. Damaged radio may exhibit unpredictable behaviour resulting in fire, explosion or risk of injury.
  24. Have servicing performed by a qualified repair person using only identical replacement parts. This will ensure that the safety of the product is maintained.
  25. Do not modify or attempt to repair the appliance or the battery pack except as indicated in the instructions for use and care.

Important safety instructions for battery cartridge

  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 or tamper with the battery cartridge. It may result in a fire, excessive heat, or explosion.
  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 and use the tool and battery car-tridge 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 fire.
  8. Do not nail, cut, crush, throw, drop the battery cartridge, or hit against a hard object to the battery cartridge. Such conduct may result in a fire, excessive heat, or explosion.
  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. When disposing the battery cartridge, remove it from the tool and dispose of it in a safe place. Follow your local regulations relating to disposal of battery.
  12. Use the batteries only with the products specified by Makita. Installing the batteries to non-compliant products may result in a fire, excessive heat, explosion, or leak of electrolyte.
  13. If the tool is not used for a long period of time, the battery must be removed from the tool.
  14. During and after use, the battery cartridge may take on heat which can cause burns or low temperature burns. Pay attention to the han-dling of hot battery cartridges.
  15. Do not touch the terminal of the tool immediately after use as it may get hot enough to cause burns.
  16. Do not allow chips, dust, or soil stuck into the terminals, holes, and grooves of the battery cartridge. It may result in poor performance or breakdown of the tool or battery cartridge.
  17. Unless the tool supports the use near
    high-voltage electrical power lines, do not use the battery cartridge near high-voltage electrical power lines. It may result in a malfunction or breakdown of the tool or battery cartridge.
  18. Keep the battery away from children.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS.

CAUTION: Only use genuine Makita 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.
CAUTION: RISK OF EXPLOSION IF BATTERY IS REPLACED BY AN INCORRECT TYPE. Disposal of a battery into fire or a hot oven, or mechanically crushing or cutting of a battery, that can result in an explosion. Leaving a battery in an extremely high temperature surrounding environment that can result in an explosion or the leakage of flammable liquid or gas. A battery subjected to extremely low air pressure that may result in an explosion or the leakage of flammable liquid or gas.

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 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).
