The charger has a built - in fan for faster charging and actively controls current, voltage, and temperature to optimize battery life. This pack comes with a 3 - year limited warranty.
Using the Makita 18V LXT Starter Pack is easy. First, insert the 18V LXT 4.0Ah battery into the charger. You'll see the L.E.D. indicator light up, showing the charge level. Once the battery is fully charged (which takes about 90 minutes), you can use it with any of the included tools. For the reciprocating saw, simply attach the battery and start cutting through materials like wood or metal. When using the angle grinder, make sure to wear proper safety gear like goggles and gloves. Use the X - LOCK system to quickly change the blade as needed. For maintenance, keep the battery in a cool, dry place when not in use. Wipe down the tools after each use to remove dust and debris. If the battery is going to be stored for a long time, make sure it's at least 40% charged to prevent self - discharge. Also, only use the battery with Star Protection - enabled tools. If you have any issues, refer to the 3 - year limited warranty for assistance.
