Charging
Your new battery cartridge
is
not charged.
You
will need to charge
it
before
use.
Use
the fast charger Model DC1201 to charge
the battery cartridge.
*Plug the fast charger into the proper A/C
voltage source. The 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 markings on the fast charger.
Charging light
-
Insert the 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 change from green to
red and charging will begin. The charging light will remain
lit
steadily during charging.
*When charging
is
completed, the charging light color will change from red to green and
a
tone will sound steadily for about
5
seconds. The charging time
is
approximately one
hour.
*After charging, unplug the charger from the power source.
CAUTION
:
*The
fast
charger Model DC1201
is
for charging Makita battery cartridge. Never
use
it
for
other purposes or for other manufacturer's batteries.
*When
you
charge
a
new battery cartridge or
a
battery cartridge which 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 recharge the battery cartridge fully after discharg-
ing
it
completely and recharging
a
couple of times.
If
you
charge
a
battery cartridge from
a
just-operated tool or
a
battery cartridge which
has been left in
a
location exposed to direct sunlight or heat for
a
long time, the charg-
ing light may flash in 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 fast charger.
If the charging light flashes alternately in green and red color and
a
tone sounds "beep,
beep, beep,
. . ."
for about
20
seconds,
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.
-If you wish to charge
two
battery cartridges, allow
15
minutes between chargings on the
fast charger.
