Most Makita power tools are protected by “ STAR” protection, this detects conditions that threaten to over-load, over-dischargeor overheatthe tool or battery. The tool will automatically cease operation,this prevents any damage to the battery. If it doesn’t work leave it a few minutes and try inserting it again. If it still doesn’t work leave the battery for a few days to completely discharge, then try it putting it on charge again.
