NOTE:
• The battery charger is for charging Makita-battery cartridge. Never use it for other purposes or for other
manufacturer’s batteries.
• When you charge a battery cartridge which is new or has not been used for a long period of time, it may not accept a
full charge until after discharging it completely and recharging a couple of times. (Ni-MH battery only)
• If you charge a battery cartridge from a just-operated tool or battery cartridge which has been left in a location
exposed to direct sunlight 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.
• If the charging light flashes alternately in green and red color, 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.
• DC18SD battery charger cannot use with INTERCHANGEABLE ADAPTER (ADP01, 04) and REFRESHING
ADAPTER (ADP02, 03).
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.
To maintain product SAFETY and RELIABILITY, repairs, any other maintenance or adjustment should be performed by
a Makita Authorized Service Centers, always using Makita replacement parts.
Note:
• It may take longer than the above charging time because of the optimal charging selected according to the
temperature (10°C (50°F) – 40°C (104°F)), conditions of battery cartridge and maintenance charge.
