To remove the battery cartridge, withdraw it from
•
the tool while sliding the button on the front of the
cartridge.
To insert the battery cartridge, align the tongue on
•
the battery cartridge with the groove in the housing
and slip it into place. Always insert it all the way
until it locks in place with a little click. If you can
see the red part on the upper side of the button, it
is not locked completely. Insert it fully until the red
part cannot be seen. If not, it may accidentally fall
out of the tool, causing injury to you or someone
around you.
Do not use force when inserting the battery
•
cartridge. If the cartridge does not slide in easily, it
is not being inserted correctly.
Refresh charging
Refreshing battery 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 performance,
because the chemical substance of the battery
cartridge is inactive.

When charging
When the charging begins, the first (far left) indicating
lamp begins to flicker. Then, as charging proceeds, the
other lamps light, one after the other, to indicate the
battery capacity.
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
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.
