FAQs
Can I use the DML809 with any Makita battery?
The DML809 is compatible with Makita's 14.4V and 18V LXT Lithium-Ion battery series. It is not compatible with G-Series or CXT batteries.
How long will the light run on a single battery charge?
Run time varies significantly based on the battery capacity (Ah) and the brightness setting used. For example, a 5.0Ah 18V battery can provide many hours of operation on low or medium settings.
Does the DML809 come with batteries?
No, the DML809 is sold separately from batteries and chargers. These must be purchased as separate accessories if you do not already own compatible Makita LXT batteries.
What is the IP rating of the DML809?
The DML809 has an IP65 rating, meaning it is dust-tight and protected against water jets from any direction.
Can I connect two batteries to extend runtime?
Yes, you can double the runtime by using two Makita 18V batteries. The light will run on the first battery until it is depleted, then automatically switch to the second battery.
How is the light angle adjusted?
The light head features a knob for free adjustment of its angle, allowing it to rotate through 240 degrees.
What is the warranty period for the Makita DML809?
Makita typically offers a warranty on their power tools and accessories. Please refer to the product manual or Makita's official website for the most current warranty information specific to your region.
Troubleshooting
Work light does not turn on.
Ensure the power cord is securely plugged into both the light and a working AC outlet, or that a fully charged LXT battery is correctly inserted. Check if the battery capacity warning light is illuminated, indicating low battery.
Light flickers or dims intermittently.
This could indicate a loose power connection. Check both AC and battery connections. If using battery power, the battery may be low; try a fully charged battery. Ensure battery contacts are clean.
Brightness settings are not working correctly.
Power cycle the light by disconnecting from power (AC or battery) for 30 seconds, then reconnecting. If the issue persists, contact customer support.
Tripod is unstable.
Ensure all tripod legs are fully extended and locked securely. Place the tripod on a firm, level surface. Avoid exceeding the weight capacity or optimal positioning for the light.
