Use only the Makita charger DC1001 to charge this
cleaner. Use of the other type chargers may cause the
battery to burst, result in personal injury and damage.
Charge the cleaner when using it for the first time or
uncharged for a long time. Connect the charging plug to
the charging connector, then plug in the charger to the
power receptacle. The battery power lamp lights up and
start charging. Charging takes approximately 3 hours. The
light goes out after the charging is complete. For more
details, refer to the instruction manual of battery charger.
Switch action
CAUTION:
• Always be sure that the dust bag or paper pack
is installed properly in the cleaner before use.
Improper installation may allow dust to enter the
motor, resulting in malfunction of the cleaner.
• Always switch off the cleaner after each use to
prevent damage to the cleaner and to extend
the service life of the batteries.

To start the cleaner, simply push the ON/speed change
button. To switch off, push the OFF button.
You can change the cleaner speed in three steps by
pushing the ON/speed change button.
The first push on this button is for high speed mode, the
second push for max speed mode and the third push

Battery power lamp
► Fig.4: 1. Battery power lamp
When the remaining battery capacity gets low, the
battery power lamp blinks.
When the remaining battery capacity gets much lower,
the tool stops and the battery power lamp lights up
about 10 seconds. At this time, charge the cleaner.
NOTE:
• The time at which the battery power lamp start
blinking or lighting up depends on the temperature
at work place and the battery cartridge conditions.
ASSEMBLY
Disposing of Dust
CAUTION:
• Empty the cleaner before it becomes too full, or
the suction force weakens.
• Be sure to empty out the dust inside the cleaner
itself. Failure to do so may cause the sponge
filter to be clogged or the motor to be damaged.
• Never throw away the dust stopper because it
should be used whenever either the dust bag or
the paper pack is used.
1. Push the button to open the front cover. Opening
it until a click is heard allows a positive stop at that
position.

Paper pack is a throw-away type. Throw away the entire
paper pack without emptying when it has become full.
