ADDITIONAL SAFETY RULES FOR TOOL
ENB022-1
1. Be aware that this tool is always in an operating
condition, because it does not have to be
plugged into an electrical outlet.
2. Hold tool by insulated gripping surfaces when
performing an operation where the cutting tool
may contact hidden wiring. Contact with a “live”
wire will also make exposed metal parts of the
tool “live” and shock the operator.
3. Always be sure you have a firm footing.
4. Be sure no one is below when using the tool in
high locations.
5. Hole the tool firmly.
6. Keep hands away from rotating parts.
7. Do not leave the tool running. Operate the tool
only when hand-held.
8. Do not touch the drill bit or the workpiece imme-
diately after operation; they may be extremely
hot and could burn your skin.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
Installing or removing battery cartridge (Fig. 1)
• Always switch off the tool before insertion or removal of
the battery cartridge.
• To remove the battery cartridge, withdraw it from the
tool while pressing the buttons on both sides of the car-
tridge.
• 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 accidentally fall out
of the tool, causing injury to you or someone around
you.
• Do not use force when inserting the battery cartridge. If
the cartridge does not slide in easily, it is not being
inserted correctly.
Charging (Fig. 2)
Plug the fast charger into the proper AC 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 mark-
ings on the fast charger. Insert the cartridge fully into the port so that it rests on the charger port floor. When the bat-
tery 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. After charging, unplug the charger from the power source. Refer to the table below for the charging time.
CAUTION:
• The fast charger is for charging Makita bettery cartrige. Never use it for other purposes or for other manufactor’s bat-
teries.
• 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 bat-
tery cartridge fully after discharging 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 charging 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, a problem exists and charging is not possible. The ter-
minals 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.
Trickle charge (Maintenance charge)
If you leave the battery cartridge in the charger to prevent spontaneous discharging after full charge, the charger will
switch into its “trickle charge (maintenance charge)” mode and keep the battery cartridge fresh and fully charged.
