Refresh charging
Refreshing adapter (optional accessory) can refresh an inac-
tive battery cartridge.
Refresh charging should be done once a week.
When you charge a new battery cartridge or a battery car-
tridge 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 my decrease the tool perfor-
mance, because the chemical substance of the battery car-
tridge is inactive.
Switch action
CAUTION:
• Before inserting the battery cartridge into the tool,
always check to see that the switch trigger actuates
properly and returns to the “OFF” position when
released.
To start the tool, simply pull the switch trigger. Tool speed is
increased by increasing pressure on the switch trigger.
Release the switch trigger to stop.
Electric brake
This tool is equipped with an electric brake. If the tool consis-
tently fails to quickly stop after switch trigger release, have
tool serviced at a Makita service center.
Reversing switch action
This tool has a reversing switch to change the direction of
rotation. Depress the reversing switch lever from the A side
for clockwise rotation or from the B side for counterclockwise

CAUTION:
• Always check the direction of rotation before operation.
• Use the reversing switch only after the tool comes to a
complete stop. Changing the direction of rotation before
the tool stops may damage the tool.
• When not operating the tool, always set the reversing
switch lever to the neutral position.
