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 if you do not use it for
a long period (more than six months).

FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION

CAUTION:
• Always be sure that the tool is switched off and the
battery cartridge is removed before adjusting or
checking function on the tool.
Installing or removing battery cartridge
(Fig. 7)
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.
NOTE:
• When the battery cartridge is not removed easily, push
it from the opposite side of the button and slide it.
Indicating the remaining battery capacity
Only for battery cartridges with the indicator (Fig. 8)
Press the check button on the battery cartridge to indicate
the remaining battery capacity. The indicator lamps light
up for a few seconds.

NOTE:
• Depending on the conditions of use and the ambient

actual capacity.
Switch action
CAUTION:
• Before installing the battery cartridge into the tool,
always check to see that the switch trigger actuates
properly and returns to the "OFF" position when
released.
• Do not pull the switch trigger hard without pressing the
lock-off lever. This can cause switch breakage. (Fig. 9)
To prevent the switch trigger from being accidentally
pulled, a lock-off lever is provided. To start the tool, press
the lock-off lever and pull the switch trigger. Release the
switch trigger to stop.
WARNING:
• For your safety, this tool is equipped with lock-off lever
which prevents the tool from unintended starting.
NEVER use the tool if it runs when you simply pull the
switch trigger without pressing the lock-off lever. Return
tool to a MAKITA service center for proper repairs
BEFORE further usage.
• NEVER tape down or defeat purpose and function of
