Note 1:
• It may take longer than the charging time because of the optimal charging selected according to the temperature (10°C (50°F) – 40°C
(104°F)), conditions of battery cartridge and maintenance charge.
• The battery charger is for charging Makita-battery cartridge. Never use it for other purposes or for other manufacturer's batteries.
• If charging light may flash in red color, battery condition is as below and charging may not start.
- Battery cartridge from just-operated tool or battery cartridge that has been left in a location exposed to direct sunlight for a long time.
- Battery cartridge that has been left for a long time in a location exposed to cold air.
When the battery cartridge is too hot, charging will begin after the cooling fan installed in the charger cools the battery cartridge.
Charging will begin after the battery cartridge temperature reaches the degree at which charging is possible.
• If the charging light flashes alternately in green and red color, charging is not possible. The terminals on the charger or battery cartridge are
clogged with dust or the battery cartridge is worn out or damaged.
Note 2:
