Charging (Fig. 2)
Plug the fast charger into the proper AC voltage source. The charging light will flash in green color. Insert the battery
cartridge so that the plus and minus terminals on the battery cartridge are on the same sides as their respective mark-
ings on the fast charger. Insert the cartridge fully into the port so that it rests on the charger port floor. When the bat-
tery cartridge is inserted, the charging light color will change from green to red and charging will begin. The charging
light will remain lit steadily during charging. When the charging light color changes from red to green, the charging
cycle is complete. Refer to the table below for the charging time. If you leave the battery cartridge in the charger after
the charging cycle is complete, the charger will switch into its "trickle charge (maintenance charge)" mode which will
last approximately 24 hours. After charging, unplug the charger from the power source.

CAUTION:
• The fast charger is for charging Makita battery cartridge. Never use it for other purposes or for other manufacturer'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 a battery cartridge which has been left in a location
exposed to direct sunlight or heat 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. The battery cartridge will cool faster if you remove the
battery cartridge from the fast charger.
• If the charging light flashes alternately in green and red color, a problem exists and charging is not possible. The ter-
minals on the charger or battery cartridge are clogged with dust or the battery cartridge is worn out or damaged.
• If you wish to charge two battery cartridges, allow 15 minutes between chargings on the fast charger.
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.
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 Nickel Metal Hydride battery cartridge when you do not use it for more than six months.
Installing or removing driver bit or drill bit (Fig. 3)
Important:
Always be sure that the tool is switched off and the bat-
tery cartridge is removed before installing or removing
the bit.
Hold the ring and turn the sleeve counterclockwise to
open the chuck jaws. Place the bit in the chuck as far as
it will go. Hold the ring firmly and turn the sleeve clock-
wise to tighten the chuck.
To remove the bit, hold the ring and turn the sleeve coun-
terclockwise.
Switch action (Fig. 4)
CAUTION:
Before inserting the battery cartridge into the tool, always
check to see that the switch trigger actuates properly and
returns to the "OFF" position when released.
To start the tool, simply pull the trigger. Tool speed is
increased by increasing pressure on the trigger. Release
the trigger to stop.

Reversing switch action (Fig. 5)
CAUTION:
• Always check the direction of rotation before operation.
• Use the reversing switch only after the tool comes to a
complete stop. Changing the direction of rotation
before the tool stops may damage the tool.
• When not operating the tool, always set the reversing
switch lever to the neutral position.
This tool has a reversing switch to change the direction of
rotation. Depress the reversing switch lever from the A
side for clockwise rotation or from the B side for counter-
clockwise rotation. When the switch lever is in the neutral
position, the switch trigger cannot be pulled.
Speed change (Fig. 6)
To change the speed, first switch off the tool and then
slide the speed change lever to the "II" side for high
speed or "I" side for low speed. Be sure that the speed
change lever is set to the correct position before opera-
tion. Use the right speed for your job.
