Makita 18v 120volt american charger to be used in australia
Don't go buying more stuff when you can fix the problem yourself without buying any converter. The modification required to do it is very easy and most people wont have any problem following it.
You can go to this webpage where a detailed walkthrough is given (with pictures):

Some of the post are in norwegian but the walkthrough is in english.
Good luck and happy moding :)
P.S.
For those of you that have "blowed up" a makita charger 110v on a 220v, don't throw it away!
If you are lucky you have only blowed up the fuse and the varistor, which are easy to replace, and if you follow up the walkthrough you might even go all the way a mod the charger to 220v.
I know, I have already manage to "save" a blowed up charger.
Serial numbers on makita combo kit DLX2002
Serial numbers on any product are for that one and only item. That's why it's a "serial" number, each and every one has it's own individual number. The one before it and the one after it on the production line have a different number.
The serial number is usually pointless unless you have a recall or something.
My Makita 6402 drill stopped working. I press the trigger and it does not make any noise at all
You will need to have someone take it a part and see where the problem lies.
Start with the electrical plug, both the wall plug and inside the drill where the wire attaches to the switch.
Often, the switch is the problem, but the wire itself can be bad, if the cord is worn.
There is such a thing as the wire separating inside the cord.
We will hope the unit is not "toast".
God bless your efforts.
Is it possible to replace the batteries in a 12v m...
Unfortunately there are no repairable parts in a battery. Once a battery is dead it's usually best to find a good recycling center for it, most The Home Depot's have one. Makita lists battery 1234 (Part #193157-5) for this tool but it's the old Ni-MH battery. I'd use battery 1222 (Part #192598-2), it's the better Ni-Cd battery.
Makita ML902 Flashlight how to open case housing to repair
Makita ML902 - great flashlight. but I wanted to upgrade the lamp to LED, and found that the POLARITY was wrong . so i HAD to open the dern thang. the 'special tool' and 'keep in-house' conspiracy had me 'fuming' ... turns out if one were to mark the EXACT spot that the pivot occurs with a felt pen, by drilling a small (sized) hole on each side, (stop as soon as the bit is thru! the shiney material that you stop at are lamp straps) then pressing 2 stiff objects from both sides, the head pops off ! one more screw is uncovered, making it an even 4 screws holding it all together. When i opened the case up, one wire wasn't even soldered to the switch ! aargh. so - swapped polarity, re-soldered the connections, add a bit of fresh solder, re-assemble, voila! I love the 9 volt cases, upgrading everything to 12v and 16v lithium 18650 cells. these old Makita ensembles are great! saw, drill, angle drill, light...

Mail it to a Makita Service center. They will replace a battery that has under 150 charges, regardless of warranty. They have a design defect in the battery which causes these spurious failures. Hopefully one day they will fix it.
