Operation - Makita BUH550 Instruction Manual

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.

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.
