Tips for maintaining maximum battery life

1. Charge the battery cartridge before completely

discharged.
Always stop tool operation and charge the battery
cartridge when you notice less tool power.

2. Never recharge a fully charged battery cartridge.

Overcharging shortens the battery service life.

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 battery cartridge once in every six months

if you do not use it for a long period of time.

FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION

Charging

Charge the battery cartridge with the Makita charger
before use.

Installing or removing battery cartridge
(Fig. 1)

CAUTION:

• Always switch off the tool before installing or removing

of the battery cartridge.

• Hold the tool and the battery cartridge firmly when

installing or removing battery cartridge. Failure to hold
the tool and the battery cartridge firmly may cause
them to slip off your hands and result in damage to the
tool and battery cartridge and a personal injury.

To remove the battery cartridge, slide it from the tool while
sliding the button on the front of the cartridge.
To install the battery cartridge, align the tongue on the
battery cartridge with the groove in the housing and slip it
into place. Insert it all the way until it locks in place with a
little click. If you can see the red indicator on the upper
side of the button, it is not locked completely.

CAUTION:

• Always install the battery cartridge fully until the red

indicator cannot be seen. If not, it may accidentally fall
out of the tool, causing injury to you or someone
around you.

• Do not install the battery cartridge forcibly. If the

cartridge does not slide in easily, it is not being inserted
correctly.

Indicating the remaining battery capacity

(Only for battery cartridges with “B” at the end of the
model number.)

(Fig. 2)

Press the check button on the battery cartridge to indicate
the remaining battery capacity. The indicator lamps light
up for few seconds.
