For BH9020A, BH9033A
When charging
When the charging begins, the first (far left) indicating
lamp begins to flicker. Then, as charging proceeds, the
other lamps light, one after the other, to indicate the
battery capacity.
When using
When the tool is switched on, the lamps will light after 2
seconds 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.
CAUTION:
A battery cartridge extracted from the charger that
•
has been unplugged with the battery cartridge
inserted does not indicate the battery capacity due
to its protective function even if the tool is switched
on after the battery insertion into the tool.
At this time, recharge it for about five seconds
before use.
NOTE:
Please contact Makita Authorized Service Center if
•
the warning lamp of the battery cartridge does not
light up when using or charging.
