5. Do not short the battery cartridge:

(1) Do not touch the terminals with any

conductive material.

(2) Avoid storing battery cartridge in a container

with other metal objects such as nails, coins,

etc.

(3) Do not expose battery cartridge to water or

rain.

A battery short can cause a large current flow,

overheating, possible burns and even a break-

down.

6. Do not store the tool and battery cartridge in

locations where the temperature may reach or

exceed 50°C (122°F).

7. Do not incinerate the battery cartridge even if it

is severely damaged or is completely worn out.

The battery cartridge can explode in a fire.

8. Be careful not to drop or strike battery.

9. Do not use a damaged battery.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS.

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°C – 40°C (50°F – 104°F). Let a

hot battery cartridge cool down before charging

it.

4. Charge the battery cartridge once in every six

months if you do not use it for a long period of

time.

FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION

CAUTION:

• Always be sure that the tool is switched off and the

battery cartridge is removed before adjusting or

checking function on the tool.

Installing or removing battery cartridge (Fig. 1)

CAUTION:

• Always switch off the tool before installing or removing

of the battery cartridge.

• Hold the tool and the battery cartridge firmly when

installing or removing battery cartridge. Failure to

hold the tool and the battery cartridge firmly may cause

them to slip off your hands and result in damage to the

tool and battery cartridge and a personal injury.

To remove the battery cartridge, slide it from the tool

while sliding the button on the front of the cartridge.

To install the battery cartridge, align the tongue on the

battery cartridge with the groove in the housing and slip it

into place. Insert it all the way until it locks in place with a

little click. If you can see the red indicator on the upper

side of the button, it is not locked completely.

CAUTION:

• Always install the battery cartridge fully until the red

indicator cannot be seen. If not, it may accidentally fall

out of the tool, causing injury to you or someone

around you.

• Do not install the battery cartridge forcibly. If the

cartridge does not slide in easily, it is not being inserted

correctly.

Checking the remaining battery capacity (Fig. 2)

When charging

When the charging begins, the first (far left) indicating

lamp begins to flicker. Then, as charging proceeds, the

other lamps light, one after the other, to indicate the

battery capacity.

When using

When the tool is switched on, the lamps will light to

indicate the remaining battery capacity. When the tool is

switched off, the light goes out after approx. 5 seconds.

When the orange lamp lights up (or flickers) on BL1430A

or flickers on BL1415NA, the tool stops because of little

remaining battery capacity (Auto-stop mechanism).

Charge the battery cartridge at this time or use a charged

battery cartridge at this time.

When the tool is used with the battery that has not been

used for a long time and is switched on, no lamps may

light up. The tool stops because of little remaining battery

capacity at this time. For BL1430A only, use Makita

refreshing adapter to refresh the battery.

Auto-stop mechanism (Fig. 3)

The tool stops automatically after the battery capacity

reaches under 20% on BL1430A or 15% on BL1415NA

to prevent the lack of fastening torque. Charge the

battery or use a new fully charged one.

Battery protection system (BL1415NA)

The tool is equipped with a battery protection system.

This system automatically cuts off power to the motor to

extend battery life.

The tool will automatically stop during operation if the

tool and/or battery are placed under the following

conditions:

• Overloaded:

The tool is operated in a manner that causes it to

draw an abnormally high current.

In this situation, release the switch trigger on the tool

and stop the application that caused the tool to

become overloaded. Then pull the switch trigger

again to restart.

If the tool does not start, the battery is overheated. In

this situation, let the battery cool before pulling the

switch trigger again.

NOTE:

• The overheat protection works only with BL1415NA.

Switch action (Fig. 4)

CAUTION:

• Before inserting the battery cartridge into the tool,

always check to see that the switch trigger actuates

properly and returns to the “OFF” position when

released.

To start the tool, simply pull the switch trigger. Tool speed

is increased by increasing pressure on the switch trigger.

Release the switch trigger to stop.

Reversing switch action (Fig. 5)

CAUTION:

• Always check the direction of rotation before operation.

• Use the reversing switch only after the tool comes to a

complete stop. Changing the direction of rotation

before the tool stops may damage the tool.
