Charging
Your new battery cartridge is not charged.
You will need to charge it before use. Use
the high capacity battery charger Model
DC141 O/DCI 41 1 to charge the battery
cartridge.
Plug the high capacity battery charger into
the proper A.C. voltage source. The
charging light will flash in green color.
*Insert the battery cartridge so that the
plus and minus terminals on the battery
cartridge are on the same sides as their
respective markings on the high capacity battery charger. Insert the cartridge fully into
the port so that it rests on the charger port floor.
When the battery cartridge is inserted, the charging light color will change from green to
red and charging will begin. The charging light will remain lit steadily during charging.
When charging is completed, the charging light color will change from red to green. The
charging time is approximately one hour.
After charging, unplug the charger from the power source.
CAUTION:
*The high capacity battery charger Model DC1410/DC1411 is for charging Makita battery
cartridge. Never use it for other purposes or for other manufacturer's batteries.
When you charge a new battery cartridge or a battery cartridge which has not been used
for a long period of time, it may not accept a full charge. This is a normal condition and
does not indicate a problem. You can recharge the battery cartridge fully after discharging
it completely and recharging a couple of times.
