FAQs

What is included with the Makita ML001G?

The Makita ML001G is sold as a bare unit, meaning it includes only the flashlight body. A compatible Makita 40V max XGT battery and charger must be purchased separately.

How long will the battery last?

With a 4.0 Ah 40V max XGT battery, the flashlight can provide up to 55 hours of continuous illumination. A 2.5 Ah battery offers up to 34 hours.

Is this flashlight waterproof?

The ML001G features XPT™ (Extreme Protection Technology) for increased dust and water resistance, making it suitable for job site conditions. However, it is not fully waterproof and should not be submerged.

Can I use other Makita battery types with this flashlight?

No, the ML001G is exclusively designed for and compatible with Makita 40V max XGT Lithium-Ion batteries.

What is the warranty period for this flashlight?

The Makita ML001G typically comes with a 3-year limited warranty. Please refer to the product documentation for full warranty details.

How do I adjust the light direction?

The flashlight features a 170° pivoting head with 12 positive stops. You can manually adjust the head to the desired angle to direct the light precisely where needed.

What is the lumen output of the flashlight?

The Makita ML001G provides a bright illumination of 160 lumens.

Troubleshooting

Flashlight does not turn on.

Ensure the XGT battery is properly inserted and charged. Check the battery contacts for dirt or damage. Try a different compatible XGT battery.

Light output is dim or flickering.

The battery may be low on charge. Recharge or replace the battery. Check the LED lens for obstructions or damage.

Flashlight gets excessively hot.

This can indicate an issue with the battery or internal components. Discontinue use immediately and consult the user manual or Makita support. Ensure the battery is not over-discharged.

Pivoting head is stiff or stuck.

Gently try to move the head. Ensure no debris is obstructing the pivot mechanism. Avoid forcing the head beyond its intended range.
