2. Never recharge a fully charged battery cartridge.
Overcharging shortens the battery service life.
3. Charge the
temperature at 10°C - 40°C (50°F - 104°F).
Let a hot battery cartridge cool down before
charging it.
4. Charge the Nickel Metal Hydride battery cartridge
when you do not use it for more than six months.
5. Always stop tool operation and charge the battery
cartridge when you notice that the warning lamp
lightened up.
Refresh charging
Refreshing battery adapter (optional accessory)
•
can refresh an inactive battery cartridge.
Refresh charging should be done once a week.
•
When you charge a new battery cartridge or a
•
battery cartridge 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 may decrease the tool performance,
because the chemical substance of the battery
cartridge is inactive.

When the tool is switched on, the lamps will light to
indicate the remaining battery capacity. When the tool is
switched off, the light goes out. If the battery has not
been used for a long time, or is needed refresh charging,
the orange lamp begins to flicker. Use Makita refreshing
adapter to refresh the battery.
