Tips for maintaining maximum
battery life
1.
Charge the built-in battery before completely
discharged. Always stop tool operation and
charge the built-in battery when you notice
less tool power.
2.
Never recharge a fully charged built-in battery.
Overcharging shortens the battery service life.
3.
Charge the built-in battery with room tempera-
ture at 10 °C - 40 °C (50 °F - 104 °F). Let a hot
built-in battery cool down before charging it.
4.
Charge the built-in battery if you do not use it
for a long period (more than six months).
FUNCTIONAL
DESCRIPTION
CAUTION:
Always be sure that the tool is
switched off before adjusting or checking func-
tion on the tool.
Charging the built-in battery
CAUTION:
Use only the Makita AC adapter
and USB cable to charge the tool. Use of the other
type AC adapter and USB cable may cause the bat-
tery to burst, result in personal injury and damage.
CAUTION:
Always disconnect the charging
plug from the tool after charging.

► Fig.2
Connect the USB cable to the AC adapter, and then
plug the AC adapter into the mains supply. Open the
connector cover on the tool, and then connect the USB
cable to the connector.
Before the first use, be sure to charge the built-in bat-
tery. It takes approximately 3 to 5 hours to fully charge
the battery. The charging time varies depending on the
usage conditions and remaining battery capacity.
Unplug the USB cable from the tool, and then close the
connector cover.
NOTE: While charging, the built-in battery and AC
adapter may become warm. This is normal and will
continue until the built-in battery is fully charged and
the AC adapter has been disconnected from the
mains supply.
Tool / battery protection system
The tool is equipped with a tool/battery protection
system. This system automatically cuts off power to
the motor to extend tool and battery life. The tool will
automatically stop during operation if the tool is placed
under one of the following conditions:
Overheat protection
When the tool is overheated, the tool stops automati-
cally. In this situation, let the tool cool before turning the
tool on again.
Overdischarge protection
When the battery capacity is not enough, the tool stops
automatically. In this case, charge the battery.
Switch action
► Fig.3
To start the tool, simply push the switch on the A side
for the clockwise rotation and the B side for the counter-
clockwise rotation. Release the switch to stop.
CAUTION:
Always check the direction of
rotation before operation.
