the packaging.
11. Follow your local regulations relating to disposal
of battery.
12. Use the batteries only with the products specified
by Makita. Installing the batteries to non-compliant
products may result in a fire, excessive heat,
explosion, or leak of electrolyte.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS.
CAUTION:
• Only use genuine Makita batteries. Use of non-
genuine Makita batteries, or batteries that have been
altered, may result in the battery bursting causing fires,
personal injury and damage. It will also void the Makita
warranty for the Makita tool and charger.
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.

(Fig. 1)
CAUTION:
• Always switch off the tool before installing or removing
of the battery cartridge.
• Hold the tool and the battery cartridge firmly when

CAUTION:
• Always insert the battery cartridge all the way until it
locks in place. 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.
Switch action (Fig. 2)
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 switch trigger. Tool speed
is increased by increasing pressure on the switch trigger.
Release the switch trigger to stop.
Turning on the front lamp (Fig. 3)
CAUTION:
• Do not look in the light or see the source of light
directly.
Pull the switch trigger to turn on the light. The lamp keeps
on lighting while the switch trigger is being pulled.
NOTE:
• Use a dry cloth to wipe the dirt off the lens of lamp. Be
careful not to scratch the lens of lamp, or it may lower
the illumination.
Auto-stop mechanism
When the battery capacity gets low, the tool stops
automatically to prevent lack of fastening torque. In that
case, charge the battery cartridge or use a charged
battery cartridge.
Indicating low battery charge
When the trigger is pulled and front lamp blinks several
times, that shows the battery capacity gets low and
immediately before the auto - stop mechanism works.
Reversing switch action (Fig. 4)
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
counterclockwise rotation.
When the reversing switch lever is in the neutral position,
the switch trigger cannot be pulled.
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.
