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.

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.
When the orange lamp lights up (or flickers) on
BL1430A or flickers on BL1415NA, the tool stops
because of little remaining battery capacity (Auto-stop
mechanism). Charge the battery cartridge at this time or
use a charged battery cartridge at this time.
When the tool is used with the battery that has not been
used for a long time and is switched on, no lamps may
light up. The tool stops because of little remaining
battery capacity at this time. For BL1430A only, use
Makita refreshing adapter to refresh the battery.

The tool stops automatically after the battery capacity
reaches under 20% on BL1430A or 15% on BL1415NA
to prevent the lack of fastening torque. Charge the
battery or use a new fully charged one.
Battery protection system (BL1415NA)
The tool is equipped with a battery protection system.
This system automatically cuts off power to the motor to
extend battery life.
