NOTE:
• The battery charger is for charging Makita-battery cartridge. Never use it for other purposes or for other manufac-
turer’s batteries.
• 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 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 is cooled by the cooling fan installed in the charger. When the temper-
ature on battery is more than approx. 70°C, two charging lights may flash in red color, and when approx. 50°C –
70°C, one charging light in red color.
• 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.
MAINTENANCE
CAUTION:
Always be sure that the charger is unplugged and the battery cartridge is removed before attempting to perform
inspection or maintenance.
To maintain product SAFETY and RELIABILITY, repairs, maintenance or adjustment should be performed by a Makita
Authorized or Factory Service Centers, always using Makita replacement parts.
