Instruction manual
CAUTION
:
*The fast charger Model DC1201
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 dis-
charging
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 charg-
ing 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 and
a
tone sounds “beep,
beep, beep,
.
.
.”
for about 20 seconds,
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.

If you wish to charge two battery cartridges, allow
