FAQs
What is the maximum light output of the DML809?
The Makita DML809 can produce up to 10,000 lumens on its High brightness setting.
Can I use the work light while it's plugged into mains power and a battery is installed?
Yes, the work light can be powered by either the AC adapter or an LXT battery. If both are connected, it will prioritize AC power and charge the battery if it's not fully charged (depending on model specifics and charger functionality, though this model focuses on continuous operation).
Does the DML809 come with batteries?
No, Makita LXT batteries and the charger are sold separately. You will need compatible 14.4V or 18V LXT batteries to use the battery-powered feature.
How long does the light run on a single battery?
Run time varies significantly depending on the battery capacity (Ah) and the brightness setting used. For example, a 5.0Ah 18V battery on High might last around 1.5-2 hours, while on Low it could last much longer. Using two batteries in parallel can double this run time.
Is the light weather-resistant?
Yes, the Makita DML809 is IP65 rated, meaning it is protected against dust ingress and low-pressure water jets, making it suitable for various outdoor and job site conditions.
Can I adjust the direction of the light?
Yes, the light head can be rotated 240 degrees using the adjustment knob to direct the beam as needed.
What is the benefit of the memory function?
The memory function allows the light to recall the last brightness setting you used. This means you don't have to manually readjust the brightness every time you turn the light back on.
Troubleshooting
Work light does not turn on.
Ensure the power source is connected correctly. Check that the AC adapter is plugged in securely at both ends, or that the LXT battery is fully charged and properly seated. Try a different power outlet or a different battery if available.
Light flickers or is dim.
Verify the selected brightness setting. If using battery power, the battery may be low; try a fully charged battery. Ensure the battery contacts are clean.
Work light shuts off unexpectedly.
If running on battery power, this may indicate a low battery warning. Replace with a fully charged battery. If running on AC, check the power connection and the power source for interruptions.
Rubberized bumpers are damaged.
Contact Makita authorized service for replacement parts. Minor scuffs are normal wear and tear for job site equipment.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

- Tripod: Compatible with Makita GM00002073 Tripod Stand.
Care:

- Storage: Store the light in a dry, protected area. If storing for an extended period, remove the battery.
- LEDs: The LEDs are designed for longevity and are not user-replaceable.
