Using the Makita 18V LXT Starter Pack is easy. First, charge the batteries using the included Rapid Optimum Charger. Just connect the battery to the charger and plug the charger into a power outlet. The charger will communicate with the battery and adjust the charging process to optimize battery life. Once the battery is charged, you can use it with any compatible Makita 18V 'bare tool'. When using the tools, keep an eye on the LED battery charge level indicator on the battery. This will let you know when it's time to recharge. Here are some important things to note. Only use this battery pack with Star Protection tools, which are marked with the Star Symbol™ and/or a Yellow Battery Receiver under the tool. Using it with non - Star Protection tools may damage the battery or the tool. Avoid overloading the tool. If the tool seems to be struggling or the battery is getting too hot, stop using it immediately. For maintenance, store the batteries in a cool, dry place when not in use. This will help prevent self - discharge and keep the batteries in good condition. Also, clean the contact terminals on the battery and the tool regularly with a dry cloth to ensure a good connection. And remember, the charger has a built - in fan. Make sure the fan is not blocked during charging for efficient cooling. If you have any issues, refer to the 3 - year limited warranty for support.
