Using the Makita 18V LXT Tower Multi - Directional Work Light is easy. First, make sure you have a compatible 18V LXT battery (sold separately). Insert the battery into the lockable battery compartment. Unfold the tower light to its full height of 7 - 1/4 feet. You can adjust the three light heads vertically by 180 degrees to direct the light where you need it. Use the 3 - mode switch to choose between high, medium, and low lumen settings. When you're done, fold the light up and use the shoulder strap or handles to carry it around. Here are some important things to note. Only use genuine Makita batteries and chargers. The battery and charger are sold separately, so you'll need to purchase them. Also, the light is IP55 - rated for dust and water resistance, but it's still a good idea to protect it from extreme conditions. For maintenance, keep the light clean. You can use a dry or slightly damp cloth to wipe it down. Check the battery compartment regularly to make sure it's free of debris. If you're not using the light for a long time, remove the battery and store it in a cool, dry place. This light comes with a 3 - year limited warranty, so if you have any problems, contact Makita support.
