Overload protection

causes it to draw an abnormally high current, the tool
automatically stops without any indication. In this sit-
uation, turn the tool off and stop the application that

► 1. Main power lamp 2. Power button
To turn the power on, press the power button. The main
power lamp lights up in green. To turn the power off,
press the power button for a few seconds.
NOTE: If the unit and connected tool or machine are
left unattended for 8 hours, the unit automatically
turns off.
If the main power lamp blinks in green, the adapter is
not connected to the unit, or the batteries are empty. In
this case, connect the adapter to the unit, or charge the
batteries. If the lamp keeps blinking in green, refer to
the troubleshooting.
If the main power lamp blinks in red and green alter-
nately, turn the power off, and then turn the power on.
If the main power lamp keeps blinking in red and green
alternately after turning the power on, ask your local
Makita Authorized Service Center for repair.
NOTE: If you turn on the main power switch of the
tool or machine just after turning on the portable
power pack, the indicator(s) on the tool or machine
may show that the protection system is working. In
this situation, start the tool or machine once. If the
indicator(s) turns off, you can operate the tool or
machine. If the indicator(s) is still on, check the main
power lamp of the portable power pack and refer the
section "TROUBLESHOOTING" to solve the problem.
Press the power button to indicate the remaining battery
capacity. The indicator lamp that corresponds to each
battery port lights up for approximately 5 seconds.
