Charging (Fig. 2)
Your new battery cartridge is not charged. You will need to charge it before use. Use the fast charger Model DC1411
to charge the battery cartridge.
Plug the fast charger into the proper AC 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 fast 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 the charging light color changes from red to green, the charging cycle
is complete. If you leave the battery cartridge in the charger after the charging cycle is complete, the charger will switch
into its ''trickle charge (maintenance charge)'' mode which will last approximately 24 hours. After charging, unplug the
charger from the power source. Refer to the table below for the charging time.

CAUTION:
• The fast charger Model 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.
• If you charge a battery cartridge from a just-operated 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 fast charger.
• 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.
Trickle charge (Maintenance charge)
If you leave the battery cartridge in the charger to prevent spontaneous discharging after full charge, the charger will
switch into its ''trickle charge (maintenance charge)'' mode and keep the battery cartridge fresh and fully charged.
Tips for maintaining maximum battery life
1. Charge the battery cartridge before completely discharged.
Always stop tool operation and charge the battery cartridge when you notice less tool power.
2. Never recharge a fully charged battery cartridge.
Overcharging shortens the battery service life.
3. Charge the battery cartridge with room temperature at 10°C – 40°C (50°F – 104°F).
Let a hot battery cartridge cool down before charging it.
4. Charge the Nickel Metal Hydride battery cartridge when you do not use it for more than six months.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
Installing or removing battery cartridge (Fig. 1)
• Always switch off the tool before insertion or removal of
the battery cartridge.
• To remove the battery cartridge, withdraw it from the
tool while pressing the buttons on both sides of the
cartridge.
• To insert the battery cartridge, align the tongue on the
battery cartridge with the groove in the housing and slip
it into place. Always insert it all the way until it locks in
place with a little click. If not, it may accidentally fall out
of the tool, causing injury to you or someone around
you.
• Do not use force when inserting the battery cartridge. If
the cartridge does not slide in easily, it is not being
inserted correctly.
