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 to
indicate the remaining battery capacity. When the tool is
switched off, the light goes out after approx. 5 seconds. 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 work even if it is inserted in the
tool. At this time, recharge it for about five seconds
before use.
