FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION
Charging
Charge the battery cartridge with the Makita charger
before use.
Installing or removing battery cartridge
(Fig. 1)
• Always switch off the tool before installing or removing
of the battery cartridge.
• To remove the battery cartridge, slide it from the tool
while sliding the button on the front of the cartridge.
• To install the battery cartridge, align the tongue on the
battery cartridge with the groove in the housing and slip
it into place. Always insert it all the way until it locks in
place with a little click. If you can see the red indicator
on the upper side of the button, it is not locked
completely. Install it fully until the red indicator cannot
be seen. If not, it may accidentally fall out of the tool,
causing injury to you or someone around you.
• Do not use force when installing the battery cartridge. If
the cartridge does not slide in easily, it is not being
inserted correctly.
Battery protection system
The protection system is equipped, which automatically
cuts off the output power for its long service life. The light
goes off during operation when the remaining battery
capacity gets low. This is caused by the activation of
protection system and does not show the light trouble.
Remove the battery cartridge from the light and charge it.
