part cannot be seen. If not, it may accidentally fall
out of the tool, causing injury to you or someone
around you.
Charging
Before using battery charger, read all instructions and
cautionary markings on the battery charger.
Tips for maintaining maximum battery life
1. Always stop tool operation and charge the battery
cartridge when you notice that the LED indicator
lightened up.
2. Never recharge a fully charged battery cartridge.
Overcharging shortens the battery service life.
3. Charge the
temperature at 10°C - 40°C (50°F - 104°F).
Let a hot battery cartridge cool down before
charging it.
4. Charge the Nickel Metal Hydride battery cartridge
when you do not use it for more than six months.
Refresh charging
Refreshing adapter (optional accessory) can
•
refresh an inactive battery cartridge.
Refresh charging should be done once a week.
•
When you charge a new battery cartridge or a
•
battery cartridge that has not been used for a long
time, it may not accept a full charge. In this case,
refresh charging must be done. The battery
cartridge may decrease the tool perfor-mance,
because the chemical substance of the battery
cartridge is inactive.

When using
When the tool is switched on, the lamps will light to
indicate the remaining battery capacity. When the tool is
switched off, the light goes out. If the battery has not
been used for a long time, or is needed refresh charging,
the orange lamp begins to flicker. Use Makita refreshing
adapter to refresh the battery.
CAUTION:
A battery cartridge extracted from the charger that
•
has been unplugged with the battery cartridge
inserted does not indicate the battery capacity due
to its protective function even if the tool is switched
room
on after the battery insertion into the tool. At this
time, recharge it for about five seconds before use.
NOTE:
Please contact Makita Authorized or Factory
•
Service Center if the warning lamp of the battery
cartridge does not light up when using or charging.
