Makita DCM500 Instruction Manual page 7

USE WITH AC POWER (Fig. D)
Plug the AC power cord into the AC power socket on the
appliance, and then into the AC outlet.
NOTE
• Do not plug both the AC power cord and battery holder
into the sockets on the appliance at the same time.
• A short power-supply cord is provided to reduce risks
resulting from becoming entangled in or tripping over a
longer cord. If you use longer detachable power-supply
cords or extension cords:
- Use longer detachable power-supply cords or
extension cords with care.
- Use detachable power-supply cord or extension cord
marked with an electrical rating at least as great as
the electrical rating of the appliance.
- Use grounding type 3-wire cord only.
- Arrange the longer cord so that it will not drape over
the counter top or table top where it can be pulled on
by children or tripped over.
USE WITH BATTERY
Installing or removing battery cartridge (Fig. A)
CAUTION
• Always switch off the appliance before installing or
removing of the battery cartridge.
• Hold the battery holder and the battery cartridge
firmly when installing or removing battery cartridge.
Failure to hold the battery holder and the battery
cartridge firmly may cause them to slip off your hands
and result in damage to the appliance and battery
cartridge and a personal injury.
To remove the battery cartridge, slide it from the battery
holder while sliding the button (Fig. A-1) on the front of
the cartridge.
To install the battery cartridge, align the tongue on the
battery cartridge with the groove in the housing and slip it
into place. Insert it all the way until it locks in place with a
little click. If you can see the red indicator (Fig. A-2) on the
upper side of the button, it is not locked completely.
CAUTION
• Always install the battery cartridge fully until the red
indicator (Fig. A-2) cannot be seen. If not, it may
accidentally fall out of the battery holder, causing injury
to you or someone around you.
• Do not install the battery cartridge forcibly. If the
cartridge does not slide in easily, it is not being inserted
correctly.
Battery protection system
The appliance is equipped with a battery protection
system. This system automatically cuts off power to the
appliance to extend battery life.
The appliance will automatically stop during operation if
the appliance and/or battery are placed under one of the
following conditions:
• Overheated:
If the appliance does not start, the battery is
overheated. In this situation, let the battery cool
before pressing the power switch again.
• Low battery voltage:
The remaining battery capacity is too low and the
appliance will not operate. In this situation, remove
and recharge the battery.
NOTE
• The overheat protection works only with a battery
cartridge with a star mark (Fig. B-4).
Connecting the battery holder (Fig. E)
Plug the battery holder into the DC power socket on the
appliance.
NOTE
• Do not plug both the AC power cord and battery holder
into the sockets on the appliance at the same time.
BREWING
1. Open the water tank lid (Fig. C-5) and pour 150 ml of
fresh cold water.
Pour water until the "LIMIT" island (Fig. F-17) just
sinks.
NOTE
• Do not pour in too much water, or water may run out
of the overflow opening (Fig. F-18).
. Remove the filter holder (Fig. C-8) with filter (Fig. C-7)
from the appliance, put 6.5 gram of ground coffee
into the filter using the measure (Fig. C-14), and then
reinsert the filter holder in the appliance.
NOTE
• Place the filter correctly in the filter holder (Fig.
G-8). Otherwise, the filter holder cannot be inserted
correctly.
• Adjust the amount of ground coffee to your
preference.
. Place a cup on the cup rest (Fig. C-9).
. Press the power switch (Fig. C-10).
The power switch lights up and the brewing cycle
begins.
When the brewing cycle has ended, the appliance
automatically turns off and the power switch light
goes off.
NOTE
• To stop brewing, press the power switch (Fig. C-10).
The appliance turns off and the power switch light goes
off.
• With AC operation, a brewing cycle takes approx. 3
minutes, while with battery operation, it takes approx. 7
minutes (the cycle time varies depending on the amount
of water, temperature, and other conditions). The longer
the brewing cycle, the stronger the coffee.
CAUTION
• To reduce the risk of scalding, do not remove the filter
holder (Fig. C-8) during the brewing cycle.
• When the brewing section marked with
steaming, do not touch it.
• Steam builds up under the filter holder (Fig. C-8).
• Do not touch the bottom plate (Fig. C-11) during the
brewing cycle.
• After the brewing cycle completes, wait at least 5
minutes before removing the filter holder.
• If another brewing cycle is to be started, wait at least
5 minutes before pouring in cold water. Otherwise,
steam and hot water could be released and scalding
may result.
