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 seat-tool while pressing the buttons on both sides of the seat cartridge.

1. Be aware that this tool is always in an operating condition, because it does not have to be plugged into an electrical outlet.
2. Hold tool by insulated gripping surfaces when performing an operation where the cutting too may contact hidden wiring. Contact with a "live" wire will make exposed metal parts of the tool "live" and shock the operator.
3. Avoid cutting nails. Inspect for and remove all nails from the workpiece before operation.
4. Do not cut hollow pipe.
5. Do not cut oversize workpiece.

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.

Charging (Fig. 2)

Your new battery cartridge is not charged. You will need to charge it before use. Use the battery charger Mo DC1801 to charge the battery cartridge.

Plug the battery charger into the proper A/C 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 respective markings on the battery charger. Insert the cartridge fully into the port so that it rests on the charge 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 in 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.

Battery type	city (mAh)	Number of cells	Charging time
1822	2,000	15	Approx. 60 min.
1833	2,200	15	Approx. 65 min.
1834	2,600	15	Approx. 75 min.
1835	3,000	15	Approx. 90 min.

CAUTION:

The battery charger Model DC1801 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 time, it may not accept a full charge. This is a normal condition and does not indicate a problem. Your 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 you 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.
- 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 by the 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 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^ - 40^ (50^ - 104^)
   Let a hot battery cartridge cool down before charging it.
