•Do not touch the fluorescent tube while it is in use or immediately after putting out light. You may get burned.

•Always be sure that the battery is removed before replacing the fluorescent tube or performing other maintenance.

2)Remove the connecting ring.

3)Pull the lamp cover straight out of the main unit.

4)Remove the cap from the fluorescent tube.

5)Pull out the fluorescent tube.

Then replace with a new Makita fluorescent tube.

Follow the procedure below to reassemble the lamp.

1)Insert the cap into the top of a new fluorescent tube.

2)Insert the lamp cover so that the slits on the lamp cover fit into the protrusion on the tool.

3)Insert the connecting ring so that two small projecting pins on the connecting ring fit into the holes in the lamp cover and the tool that are overlapped.

4)Tighten the screw ring firmly.
