3. Charge the battery cartridge with room temperature at
10°C - 40°C (50°F - 104°F).
Let a hot battery cartridge cool down before charging it.
4. Charge the Nickel Metal Hydride battery cartridge when
you do not use it for more than six months.
5. Always stop tool operation and charge the battery car-
tridge when you notice that the warning lamp lightened up.
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.
Checking the remaining battery capacity
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.
