17. Keep the nameplate on the fan unit. If it becomes unreadable or goes missing, contact your local service center for repair.
18. Before washing, detach the fan unit and battery holder, remove the battery cartridge. Wash the jacket part only.
19. Do not leave the fan jacket in a place subject to high heat, such as a car sitting in the sun. Doing so may cause plastic parts to melt and become damaged.
20. For long time storage, remove the battery holder and battery cartridge from the jacket, and remove the battery cartridge from the battery holder.
21. When storing, keep the fan jacket, fan units, battery holder, and battery cartridge out of reach of children.

Electrical safety

1. Do not expose the jacket to rain or wet conditions. Keep water away from electrical parts. Water entering the jacket may increase the risk of an electric shock.
2. Do not handle the cord and battery with wet or greasy hands.
3. Do not use the fan jacket when the cord or plug is damaged.
4. Do not abuse the cord. Do not use the cord for carrying, pulling or unplugging the jacket. Keep the cord away from heat, oil, and sharp edges.
5. Do not leave any cord disconnected while the battery power is supplied. Small children may put the live plug in their mouth and cause injury.
6. Do not use the supplied cord with appliances other than the fan unit.
7. Do not insert nails, wires, or other items. into the USB power supply port. Doing so may cause short circuit, which can cause smoke or a fire.
8. Do not connect the power source to the USB port. The USB port is only intended for charging lower voltage devices. Always place the cover over the USB port when not charging a lower voltage device. Otherwise there is risk of fire.
9. Recharge only with the charger specified by the manufacturer. A charger that is suitable for one type of battery pack may create a risk of fire when used with another battery pack.
10. Only use with specifically designated batteries. Use of any other battery may create a risk of injury and fire.
11. 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 burns or a fire.
12. 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.
13. Do not use a battery pack or the fan unit that is damaged or modified. Damaged or modified batteries may exhibit unpredictable behaviour resulting in fire, explosion or risk of injury.
14. Do not expose a battery pack or the fan unit to fire or excessive temperature. Exposure to fire or temperature above 130 °C may cause explosion.
15. Follow all charging instructions and do not charge the battery pack or the fan unit 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.

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 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 fire.

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.

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.

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.
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).
