Battery tool use and care
1. 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.
Use power tools only with specifically desig-
2.
nated battery packs. Use of any other battery
packs may create a risk of injury and fire.
When battery pack is not in use, keep it away
3.
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 termi-
nals together may cause burns or a fire.
4. Under abusive conditions, liquid may be ejected
from the battery; avoid contact. If contact acci-
dentally occurs, flush with water. If liquid con-
tacts eyes, additionally seek medical help. Liquid
ejected from the battery may cause irritation or burns.
5. Do not use a battery pack or tool that is dam-
aged or modified. Damaged or modified batteries
may exhibit unpredictable behaviour resulting in
fire, explosion or risk of injury.
6. Do not expose a battery pack or tool to fire or
excessive temperature. Exposure to fire or tem-
perature above 130 °C may cause explosion.
7. Follow all charging instructions and do not
charge the battery pack or tool outside the
temperature range specified in the instruc-
tions. Charging improperly or at temperatures
outside the specified range may damage the
battery and increase the risk of fire.
CORDLESS FAN USE AND CARE
1. Use the correct cordless fan for your application. Do not
use the fan for a purpose for which it is not intended.
2. The appliance can work by Makita Li-ion battery cartridge
designated in "SPECIFICATIONS" section in this instruction
manual or AC adaptor. Use of any other batteries may create
a risk of fire. Recharge batteries only with the specified char-
ger. A charger that may be suitable for one type of battery
may create a risk of fire when used with another battery.
3. Store idle appliance out of reach of children and
other untrained persons.
4. Disconnect battery cartridge and the AC adaptor
from the power source before storing the appliance,
performing any inspection, maintenance, or cleaning
procedures. Such preventive safety measures may

from other metal objects. Shortening the battery
terminals together may cause sparks, burns or a fire.
6. Unplug unit and allow it to cool before performing any
inspection, maintenance, cleaning procedures or storage.
7. Do not allow familiarity with appliances to make
you careless. Remember that a careless fraction
of a second is sufficient to inflict serious injury.
