tion or removalof the batterycartridge.
*To remove the battery cartridge, with-
draw 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 accidentallyfall out of the tool, caus-
ing injury to you or someone aroundyou.
Do not use force when inserting the battery cartridge. If the cartridge does not slide in
easily,
it is not being insertedcorrectly.
Charging
*Your new battery cartridge is not
charged. You will need to charge it be-
fore use. Use the high capacity battery
charger Model DC1801to chargethe bat-
tery cartridge.
Plug the high capacity battery charger
into the proper A.C. voltage source. The
charginglight 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 markings on the high capacity
battery charger. Insertthe cartridge fully into the port
so that it rests on the charger port
floor.
When the battery cartridge is inserted, the charging light color will changefrom green to
redand chargingwill begin. The charginglight
will remain lit steadily during charging.
When the charginglight color changesfrom redto green, thechargingcycle is complete.
The chargingtime is approximatelyone hour.
If you leavethe battery cartridge in the chargerafter the chargingcycle iscomplete, the
charger will switch into its "trickle charge (maintenance charge)" mode which
will last
approximately
24 hours.
*After charging,unplugthe chargerfrom the power source.
CAUTION:
The highcapacitybattery chargerModel DCI801 is for charging Makita batterycartridge.
Neveruse
it for other purposesor for other manufacturer'sbatteries.

When you charge a new batterycartridgeor a batterycartridgewhich has not beenused
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 recharge the batterycartridge fully after discharging
it completelyand recharging
a coupleof times.
If you charge a batterycartridge from a just-operatedtool or abatterycartridgewhich has
beenleft in
a locationexposed to directsunlightor heatfor a longtime, the charginglight
may flash in redcolor. If this occurs,
wait for a while. Chargingwill begin after the battery
cartridgecools. The battery cartridgewill cool faster if you remove the battery cartridge
from the highcapacitybattery charger.
If the charginglight flashes alternatelyin green and redcolor, a problemexistsand charg-
ing is not possible. The terminals on the charger or battery cartridge are clogged with
dust or the batterycartridge
is worn out or damaged.
Tricklecharge(Maintenancecharge)
If you leave the battery cartridge in the charger to prevent spontaneous dischargingafter
full charge, the charger will switch into its ”tricklecharge (maintenancecharge)” modeand
keep the batterycartridgefresh and fully charged.
