To avoid electric shock and electrical fires,

never use an extension cord that is damaged or does not
meet the following requirements:

• The cord has pins on line plug that are similar in size

and shape to those of the plug on the charger.

• The cord is rated as “W” or “W-A” if being used out-

doors.

• The cord has sufficient wire thickness (16 AWG below

50

′

/14 AWG 50

′

-100

′

). If the wire thickness is too small,

the cord may overheat, melting the cord’s insulation or
causing nearby objects to ignite.

Do not attempt to use a step-up trans-

former, an engine generator or DC power receptacle.

4. 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 battery
charger. Insert the cartridge fully into the port so that
it rests on the charger port floor.

5. 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 dur-
ing charging. When charging is completed, the
charging light color will change from red to green.

NOTE! Charging time will be approximately one hour.

Charge only Makita type batteries. Other

types of batteries may burst causing personal injury.

6. After charging, unplug the charger from the power

source. Always cover the battery terminals with the
battery cover when the batter cartridge is not used.

1. 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.

2. If you charge a battery cartridge from a just-oper-

ated tool or a battery cartridge which has been left in
a location exposed to direct sunlight or heat for a
long time, the charging light may flash in red color. If
this occurs, wait for a while. Charging will begin after
the battery cartridge cools. The battery cartridge will
cool faster if you remove the battery cartridge from the
battery charger.

3. If the charging light flashes alternately in green and red

color, a problem exists and charging is not possible.
The terminals on the charger or battery cartridge are
clogged with dust or the battery cartridge is worn out
or damaged.

4. If you wish to charge two battery cartridges, allow

15 minutes between chargings on the battery charger.

1. Insert fully charged battery cartridge into holder

(Figure 14). (Battery does not have a memory.)

2. Check work area for:

• Adequate lighting

• Dry place for machine and operator. Do not place

machine in water.

• Flammable liquids, vapors or dust that may ignite.

3. Place the machine is the most convenient position, flat

on the working surface or upright on its back and
close to the drain opening.

4. Position the air foot switch pedal for easy operator

accessibility. Machine is designed for one person op-
eration.
