Charging (Fig. 1)
Charge the battery cartridge with the Makita charger
before use.
1. Plug the battery charger into the proper AC voltage
source. The charging light will flash in green color.
2. Insert the battery cartridge so that the plus and minus
terminals on the battery cartridge are on the same
sides as their respective markings on the charger.
3. When the battery cartridge is inserted fully, the
charging light will change from green to red and
charging will begin. The charging light will remain lit
steadily during charging.
4. When the charging light changes from red to green,
the charging cycle is complete.
5. After charging, unplug the charger from the power
source.
NOTE:
• The battery charger is for charging Makita battery
cartridge. Never use it for other purposes or for other
manufacturer's batteries.
• If you charge a battery cartridge from a just operated
tool or a battery cartridge which has been exposed to
direct sunlight or heat for a long time, the charging light
may flash in red color. If this occurs, wait for a while.
Charging will begin after the battery cartridge cools.
• If the charging light flashes alternately in green and
red, 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.
CAUTION:
• Always be sure that the tool is switched off and the
battery cartridge is removed before adjusting or
checking function on the tool.

(Fig. 2)
• Always switch off the tool before insertion or removal of
the battery cartridge.
• To remove the battery cartridge, withdraw it from the
tool while pressing the buttons on both sides 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 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.
