FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION
Charging (Fig. 1)
• Charge the battery cartridge with the Makita charger
before use.
• Use the battery cover to protect the battery terminals
from water or dust when the tool is not in use.
Installing or removing battery cartridge
(Fig. 2)
• 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.
• To remove the battery cartridge, slide it from the tool
while sliding the button on the front of the cartridge.
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.
Lighting up the LED light (Fig. 3)
Push the switch on the battery holder to light up the LED
light. To turn off, push the switch again.
Head angle (Fig. 4)
The head angle can be adjusted for every 15°.
Wearing flash light
Wear the flash light on your head using the head band to
secure it in place. (Fig. 5)
If the head band is too loose or too tight, adjust its length
with the band clips.
Slip the cord between the protrusions of the band clip to
keep it out of the way. (Fig. 6)
You can carry the battery holder on your waist belt using
the belt hook. (Fig. 7)
This flash light can be used as a stationary type light as
well. Install the flash light on the battery holder using the
front hook on the battery holder. (Fig. 8)
Do not remove the lamp cover to keep out the water.
The lamp shall not be repaired or replaced by the user.
