Makita LS711D Charging

Charging

1. Plug the battery charger into the proper AC voltage

source. The charging light will flash in green color.

2. 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 charger. Insert the

cartridge fully into the port so that it rests on the charger

port floor.

3. 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.

4. When the charging light color changes from red to

green, the charging cycle is complete.

5. 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.

6. After charging, unplug the charger from the power

source.

NOTE:

•The battery charger 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

battery charger.

•If the charging light flashes alternately in green and red

color, 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.
