SAFETY WARNINGS

General power tool safety warnings
WARNING: Read all safety warnings, instruc-tions, illustrations and specifications provided with this power tool. Failure to follow all instructions listed below may result in electric shock, fire and/or serious injury.
Save all warnings and instruc- tions for future reference.
The term “power tool” in the warnings refers to your mains-operated (corded) power tool or battery-operated (cordless) power tool.
Cordless mixer safety warnings

1. Hold the tool with both hands at the intended handles. Loss of control can cause personal injury.
2. Ensure sufficient ventilation when mixing flam-mable materials to avoid a hazardous atmo-sphere. Developing vapour may be inhaled or be ignited by the sparks the power tool produces.
3. Do not mix food. Power tools and their accesso-ries are not designed for processing food.
4. Ensure that the mixing container is placed in a firm and secure position. A container that is not properly secured may move unexpectedly.
5. Follow the instructions and warnings for the material to be mixed. Material to be mixed may be harmful.
6. Do not reach into the mixing container with your hands or insert any other objects into it while mixing. Contact with the mixer blade may lead to serious personal injury.
7. Start up and run down the tool in the mixing container only. The mixer blade may bend or spin in an uncontrolled manner.
8. Ensure that no liquid splashes against the housing of the power tool. Liquid that has pene-trated the power tool can cause damage to the tool.
9. Use auxiliary handles, if supplied with the tool. Loss of control may cause personal injury.
10. Hold power tool by insulated gripping sur-faces, when performing an operation where the cutting accessory may contact hidden wiring. Cutting accessory contacting a “live” wire may make exposed metal parts of the power tool “live” and could give the operator an electric shock.
11. Always be sure you have a firm footing. Be sure no one is below when using the tool in high locations.
12. Hold the tool firmly.
13. Keep hands away from rotating parts.
14. Do not leave the tool running. Operate the tool only when you are holding it.
15. Some materials contain chemicals which may be toxic. Take caution to prevent dust inhala-tion and skin contact. Follow safety warnings by supplier of the material.
16. When performing the mixing operation, place the mixing container on a flat and stable surface.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS.
WARNING: DO NOT let comfort or familiarity with product (gained from repeated use) replace strict adherence to safety rules for the subject product. MISUSE or failure to follow the safety rules stated in this instruction manual may cause serious personal injury.
Important safety instructions for battery cartridge

1. Before using battery cartridge, read all instruc-tions 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:

   • Do not touch the terminals with any con-ductive material.
   • Avoid storing battery cartridge in a con-tainer with other metal objects such as nails, coins, etc.
   • 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 require-ments.
    For commercial transports e.g. by third parties, forwarding agents, special requirement on pack-aging and labeling must be observed.
    For preparation of the item being shipped, consult-ing 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, exces-sive 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 imme-diately 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 cause heating, catching fire, burst and malfunction of the tool or battery car-tridge, resulting in burns or personal injury.

17. Unless the tool supports the use near high-voltage electrical power lines, do not use the battery cartridge near a high-voltage elec-trical 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.
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).

Things you need to know before use
Hold the handle when using or carrying the tool.
CAUTION: Do not hold the sheet metal part. Sharp areas may cause injury.

Tool / battery protection system

The tool is equipped with a tool/battery protection sys-tem. This system automatically cuts off power to the motor to extend tool and battery life. The tool will auto-matically stop during operation if the tool or battery is placed under one of the following conditions:
Overload protection
When the tool/battery is operated in a manner that causes it to draw an abnormally high current, the tool automatically stops. In this situation, turn the tool off and stop the application that caused the tool to become overloaded. Then turn the tool on to restart.
Overheat protection
When the tool/battery is overheated, the tool stops automatically. In this situation, let the tool/battery cool before turning the tool on again.
Overdischarge protection
When the battery capacity becomes low, the tool stops automatically. If the product does not operate even when the switches are operated, remove the batteries from the tool and charge the batteries.

HOW TO USE

CAUTION: Always be sure that the tool is switched off and the battery cartridge is removed before carrying out any work on the tool.
NOTICE: When you are not working, lay the machine down and store it.
