Checking the remaining battery capacity
008971
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 tool is used with the battery that has not been
used for a long time and is switched on, no lamps may
light up at all. Use Makita refreshing adapter to refresh
the battery.
