Repair Steps & Checklist

Click steps to track your progress.

  1. 1

    Make sure the lock key is fully inserted into its designated slot. The blinking green light typically means the key is not detected or not properly seated.

  2. 2

    Check that your battery is fully charged and securely clicked into place. Sometimes, a loose or low-charge battery can trigger unusual indicators.

  3. 3

    Turn the power tool completely off, wait 10 seconds, then turn it back on and try again. A simple restart can often resolve temporary issues.

  4. 4

    If the main power lamp still blinks green after trying these steps, stop using the tool and contact Makita customer support for further assistance.
