Same problems here fat boy tools sold refurbished ones as new. As I was informed by makkita when I sent it out for repair. Got it back and same day it broke. Switched to ridgid no problems.

Try the light on a fully 'charged' battery. There is a 'shut off' timer that will shut it off but it should be longer than a minute or two. Perhaps the timer is defective.

This flashlite shuts off when the the battery gets low (dead) and will only turn on for a few seconds when you push the switch. Recharge the battery and then it will stay on for for a couple hours.

I just tried pulling the plug, then plugging it back in. Obviously it turned off when the power was cut, but it won't come back on until the power button on the light itself is pressed.

Try flipping the power / switch off for 8-10 seconds, then back on again. Sometimes these kind of fixtures have a mechanism that temporarily disables the motion sensor. If it still doesn't work, contact the manufacturer.

Disconnect the power completely. (the light should be behind a switch anyway), for a full two minutes. when done connect the ground then connect the 120 volt line. Wa-la reset complete.

Your timer may not be shutting off all power to the device. I would use a test light and check for current.

Yeah it's ok to use it with the light on. Make sure the Metal Grid is completely dry first. Reassemble and plug it in and turn off. Next get like a pen and push the reset button at the top right and the timer button at the same time to reset the machine. Turn on and the light should be gone.

Make sure the label that says "remove before lighting" has been removed. Keep the button held down for 5-10 seconds and you should be good

My first thought is it could be the belt. When you turn the machine on if the belt system is working properly a little green light will come on top of the belt housing. If that light doesn't come on, the belt is probably the problem.

Yeah had the same issue. Headed up with in 10 mins of use. The manual does mention not to use it for prolonged periods though. Mine didn't last too long after it started heating up

I believe that there is a pretty significant time delay built into these things. They are not "instant ON" and "instant OFF". I think I would put black electrical tape over the sensor, then wait for a bit after you energize it to give it time to "decide" that it should switch on. If it doesn't come on 5 minutes or less, I'd guess that it has failed. If that's the case, the manufacturer likely owes you a new one!

The light is supposed to turn off when the battery is charged. If it only works when plugged in, that defeats the purpose. I'd contact the maker. Sounds like yours is defective. BTW, did some long workshops this summer. did recharge during the lunch breaks. The battery seems to last about 7.5 hours.

My light goes off after a few seconds - there might be something wrong -- I agree that you have to make sure that it really fits in tight up to the edges

Turn off ignition make sure there is no load or disconnect Neg- Terminal, then Just connect to the battery and press the test button. I did not like this tester and returned it. Midtronics is the best in category

The light on mine turns off when it's dead. It also tasks around 3 hours when I charge mine. Yours might be broken.

Robert I have both and sensed it happening on both, Makita and the generic brand, I seldom use the tool long enough at any one time to find it a problem. My Makita is a 3 year old drill, the replacement generic battery is two year old. I have a Milwaukie with a lion and it just stops dead, but it does slow just for a second. I have used it for a couple years with 2 batteries. It is the 12v multitool. As to the life of the battery, I am on the originals.

The light will automatically turn off 1 hour after reaching full power. The switch does need to be on for it to work.
