• Always insert the battery cartridge all the way until it
locks in place. If not, it may accidentally fall out of the
tool, causing injury to you or someone around you.
• Do not install the battery cartridge forcibly. If the
cartridge does not slide in easily, it is not being inserted
correctly.

Adjusting the nailing depth
CAUTION:
• Remove the fuel cell, the battery cartridge and nails
before adjusting the depth of nailing. (Fig. 13)

to B direction. Do not turn the adjuster too much, or the
contact element may come off from the adjuster, or it gets
stuck.
Indication lamp
Color of the indication lamp means the followings.
Blinking green: Normal status
Blinking red: Need to recharge the battery cartridge
Lighting-up-red: Recharge the battery cartridge. Nailing
cannot be performed due to no remaining battery
capacity.
Blinking orange after blinking green and red
alternately: Fault detection is running. Remove and
reinsert the battery cartridge to reset. If fault detection is
running again, it is malfunction condition. Ask your local
Makita service center to repair it.
