GENERAL SAFETY RULES
(For All Battery Operated Tools)
WARNING! Read and understand all instructions. Failure
tofollow all instructions listed below,
may result in electric
shock, fire and/or serious personal injury.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
Work Area
Keep your work area cleanand well lit. Cluttered benches and dark areas invite
accidents.
Do not operate power tools in explosive atmospheres, such as in the presence
of flammable liquids, gases, or dust. Powertools createsparks which may ignite
the dust or fumes.
Keep bystanders, children, and visitors away while operating a power tool.
Distractions can cause you to lose control.
Electrical Safety
A battery operated tool with integralbatteries or a separate battery pack must
be recharged only
with the specified charger for the battery. A charger that
may be suitable for one type of battery may create
a risk of fire when used with
another battery.
Use battery operated tool only with specifically designated battery pack. Use
of any other batteries may create a risk of fire.
Personal Safety
Stay alert, watch what you are doing, and use common sense when operating
apowertool.
Do not use toolwhile tired or underthe influence of drugs, alcohol,
or medication.
A moment of inattention while operating power tools may result
in serious personal injury.
Dressproperly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry. Contain long hair. Keep
your hair, clothing, and gloves away from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewelry,
or long hair can be caught in moving parts.
Avoid accidental starting. Be sure switch is in the lockedor off position before
inserting battery pack. Carryingtools with your finger onthe switch or inserting
the battery pack into
a tool with the switch on invites accidents.
Remove adjusting keys or wrenches before turning the tool on. A wrench or
a key that is left attachedto a rotating part of the tool may resultinpersonal injury.
Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at alltimes. Properfooting
and balance enable better control of the tool in unexpected situations.
Use safety equipment. Always wear eye protection. Dust mask, non-skidsafety
shoes, hard hat, or hearing protection must be used for appropriate conditions.

Tool Use and Care
Use clamps or other practical way to secure and support the workpiece to a
stable platform. Holding the work by hand or against your body is unstable and
may lead to
loss of control.
Do not force tool. Use the correct tool for your application. The correct tool
will do the job better and safer
at the rate for which it is designed.
*Do not use tool if switch does not turn it on or off. A tool that cannot be
controlled with the switch is dangerous and must be repaired.
Disconnect battery pack from tool or place the switch in the locked or off
positionbefore makingany adjustments, changing accessories, or storing the
tool. Such preventive safety measures reduce the risk of starting the tool
accidentally.
Store idle tools out of reach of children and other untrained persons. Tools are
dangerous in the hands of untrained users.
When battery pack is not in use, keep it away from other metal objects like:
paper clips, coins, keys, nails, screws,
or other small metal objects that can
make
a connection from one terminaltoanother. Shortingthe battery terminals
together may cause sparks, burns, or
a fire.
Maintaintools with care. Keepcuttingtools sharp andclean. Properly maintained
tools with sharp cutting edge are less likely to bind and are easier to control.
Check for misalignment or bindingof movingparts, breakageof parts, and any
other conditionthat may affect thetool's operation. Ifdamaged, have thetool
serviced before using. Many accidents are caused by poorly maintained tools.
Use only accessories that are recommended by the manufacturer for your
model. Accessories that may be suitable for one tool may create a risk of injury
when used on another tool.
Service
Tool service must be performed only by qualified repair personnel. Service or
maintenance performed by unqualified personnel may result in a risk of injury.
When servicing atool, useonly identical replacementparts. Follow instructions
in the Maintenance section of this manual. Use of unauthorized parts or failure
to follow Maintenance Instructions may create a risk of shock or injury.

Charging
Your new battery cartridge is not
charged. You
will need to charge it
before use. Usethe highcapacity battery
charger Model DC1411 to charge the
battery cartridge.
Plug the high capacity battery charger
intothe proper A.C. voltage source. The
Charging light
charging light will flash in green color.
Insert the battery cartridge so that the
plus and minus terminals on the battery
cartridge are on the same sides as their
respective markingsonthe high capacity
battery charger. Insert the cartridge fully into the port
so that it rests on the
charger portfloor.
When the battery cartridge is inserted, the charging light color will change from
green to red and charging will begin. The charging light will remain
lit steadily
during charging. When the charging light color changes from red to green, the
charging cycle iscomplete. The charging time is approximately one hour.
Ifyou leavethe batterycartridge inthe charger after the chargingcycle is complete,
the charger will switch into its "trickle charge (maintenancecharge)" mode which
will last approximately
24 hours.
After charging, unplugthe charger from the power source.
CAUTION:
The high capacity battery charger Model DC1411 is for charging Makita battery
cartridge. Never use
it for other purposes or for other manufacturer's batteries.
When you charge a newbatterycartridge or a batterycartridgewhich has not been
used for a long period of time,
it may not accept a full charge. This is a normal
condition and does not indicate a problem. You can rechargethe battery cartridge
fully after discharging
it completely and recharginga couple of times.
If you charge a battery cartridge from a just-operated tool or a battery cartridge
which has been left ina location exposed to direct sunlight or heatfor a longtime,
the charging light may flash a red color. If this occurs, wait for a while. Charging
will begin after the battery cartridge cools. The battery cartridge will cool faster if
you remove the battery cartridge from the high capacity battery charger.
Ifthe charging lightflashes alternately ingreen and redcolor, a problem exists and
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.
