Operation - Makita BUH550 Instruction Manual

To remove the battery adapter, withdraw it from
•
the tool while sliding the button on the adapter.
To insert the battery adapter, align the tongue on the
•
battery adapter 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
part on the upper side of the button, it is not locked
completely. Insert it fully until the red part 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 inserting the battery
•
adapter. If the adapter does not slide in easily, it is
not being inserted correctly.
The way of removing or installing a battery
•
cartridge from or on the battery adapter is the
same as that of removing or installing it from or on
the tools.
Press down the hook securely as far as it will go
•
when the battery adapter is hooked on the waist
belt and similar objects.
Arm cord hook (Accessory)
CAUTION:
Do not attach the holder of arm cord hook to other
•
than the extension cord. Failure to do so may
cause an accident or personal injury.
Using the arm cord hook helps to minimize a risk of
cutting off the extension cord unexpectedly caused by
the loose extension cord.
