• When only the lowermost indicator lamp (next to the

“E”) blinks, or when none of the indicator lamps light,
the battery capacity has run out, so the tool does not
operate. In these cases, charge the battery or replace
the empty battery with a fully charged one.

• When two or more indicator lamps do not light even

after charging is complete, the battery has reached the
end of its service life.

• When the upper two and lower two indicator lamps light

alternately, the battery may have malfunctioned.
Contact your local Makita authorized service center.

NOTE:

• The indicated capacity may be lower than the actual

level during use or immediately after using the tool.

• Depending on the conditions of use and the ambient

temperature, the indication may differ slightly from the
actual capacity.
