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.

the battery must be removed from the tool.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS.
CAUTION:

Use of non-genuine Makita batteries, or batteries that

void the Makita warranty for the Makita tool and charger.
Tips for maintaining maximum
battery life
1. Charge the battery cartridge before completely dis-
charged. 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 tempera-
ture 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).
ASSEMBLY
WARNING:
Always be sure that the lock key
and battery cartridge are removed before carrying
out any work on the mower. Failure to remove the
lock key and the battery cartridge may result in seri-
ous personal injury from accidental start-up.
WARNING:
Never start the mower unless it is
completely assembled. Operation of the machine
in a partially assembled state may result in serious
personal injury from accidental start-up.
Installing the battery cover
WARNING:
Do not insert the lock key and bat-
tery cartridge before installing the battery cover.
Failure to do so may cause a serious injury.
Install the battery cover completely before the opera-
tion. The battery cover protects the mower and battery
cartridge from mud, dirt, and water.
1. Place the battery cover with the protrusions on the
mower aligned with the holes on the battery cover.
