The 80 % indication mentioned above is approximate value. The indication may differ according to battery temperature or battery condition.
4. With finish of charge, the charging light will change from blue one to green one.
5. After charging, remove the battery cartridge from charger and unplug the charger.

NOTE: Charging time varies by temperature (10°C (50°F)–40°C (104°F)) that battery cartridge is charged at and conditions of the battery cartridge, such as a battery cartridge which is new or has not been used for a long period of time.

NOTICE: The battery charger is for charging Makita-battery cartridge. Never use it for other purposes or for other manufacturer’s batteries.
NOTE: If the charging light flashes slowly in blue color, charging may not start due to the condition of the battery cartridge as below:
