When using electric tools, basic safety precautions should always be followed to reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, and personal injury, including the following:

READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS.

1. Before using battery cartridge, read all instructions and cautionary markings on (1) battery charger, (2) battery, and (3) product using battery.
2. Recharge only with the charger specified by the manufacturer. A charger that is suitable for one type of battery pack may create a risk of fire when used with another battery pack.
3. Use a power source with the voltage specified on the nameplate of the charger.
4. Do not attempt to use a step-up transformer, an engine generator or DC power receptacle.
5. After charging or before attempting any maintenance or cleaning, unplug the charger from the power source.
6. This battery holder part is not waterproof. Do not use it in damp or wet locations. Do not expose it to rain or snow. Do not wash it in water.
7. Do not touch the inside of the flashlight head with tweezers, metal tools, etc.
8. Under abusive conditions, liquid may be ejected from the battery, avoid contact. If contact accidentally occurs, flush with water. If liquid contacts eyes, additionally seek medical help. Liquid ejected from the battery may cause irritation or burns.

   1. Do not touch the terminals with any conductive material.
   2. Avoid storing battery cartridge in a container with other metal objects such as nails, coins, etc.
   3. Do not expose battery cartridge to water or rain. A battery short can cause a large current flow, overheating, possible burns and even a breakdown.

Tips for maintaining maximum battery life

1. Charge the battery cartridge before completely discharged.
   Always stop tool operation and charge the battery cartridge when you notice less tool power.
2. Never recharge a fully charged battery cartridge. Overcharging shortens the battery service life.
3. Charge the battery cartridge with room temperature at 10 °C – 40 °C (50 °F – 104 °F). Let a hot battery cartridge cool down before charging it.
4. Charge the battery cartridge once in every six months if you do not use it for a long period of time.

FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION

Charging
Charge the battery cartridge with the Makita charger before use.

Installing or removing battery cartridge (Fig. 1)

CAUTION

• Always switch off the tool before installing or removing of the battery cartridge.
• Hold the tool and the battery cartridge firmly when installing or removing battery cartridge. Failure to hold the tool and the battery cartridge firmly may cause them to slip off your hands and result in damage to the tool and battery cartridge and a personal injury.
  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. 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.

CAUTION

• Always install the battery cartridge 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 install the battery cartridge forcibly. If the cartridge does not slide in easily, it is not being inserted correctly.

Indicating the remaining battery capacity
(Only for battery cartridges with “B” at the end of the model number.) (Fig. 2)
Press the check button on the battery cartridge to indicate the remaining battery capacity. The indicator lamps light up for few seconds.

NOTE

• Depending on the conditions of use and the ambient temperature, the indication may differ slightly from the actual capacity.

Lighting up the LED light (Fig. 3)

CAUTION:

• Do not look in the LED light or see the source of light directly.

Push the switch to light up the LED light. To turn off, push the switch again.

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.

Head angle (Fig. 4)
The head angle can be adjusted in 12 stages. Adjust as desired.

Strap hook (Fig. 5, 6)
The strap hook is convenient for temporarily hanging the tool.
The strap hook can be installed on the upper or lower ring in accordance with usage.
