Cleaning without nozzle
You can pick up powder and dust without nozzle.

For picking up dust on a floor in a standing position, it is
convenient to attach the extension wand to the cleaner.

Disposing of dust
CAUTION:
Empty the cleaner before it
becomes too full, or the suction force weakens.
CAUTION:
When closing the front cover, be
careful not to pinch your fingers.
NOTICE:
Never throw away the dust stopper
because it should be used whenever either the
dust bag or the paper filter is used.
NOTICE:
When the dust bag/paper filter is not
inside of the cleaner, the front cover does not
close completely. Do not force to close the front
cover. It may result in deforming or breakage of
the tool.
NOTICE:
When disposing of dust, also clean the
room for the dust bag/paper filter. The remaining
dust and dirt in the room may cause the sponge filter
to be clogged or the motor to be damaged.
1. Push the button to open the front cover. Opening
it until a click is heard allows a positive stop at that
position.

dust bag/paper filter together at the same time.

dust container type:
When using the dust bag

4. Place the dust bag/new paper filter and dust stop-
per together into the cleaner and close the front cover.
NOTE: The cleaner is constructed in such a way that
the front cover comes off when trying to force the
front cover open at the angle of more than 90°. If the
front cover comes off, insert it into the front cover joint
in place.

MAINTENANCE

CAUTION:
Always be sure that the tool is
switched off and the battery cartridge is removed
before attempting to perform inspection or
maintenance.
To maintain product SAFETY and RELIABILITY,
repairs, any other maintenance or adjustment should
be performed by Makita Authorized or Factory Service
Centers, always using Makita replacement parts.
NOTICE:
Never use gasoline, benzine, thinner,
alcohol or the like. Discoloration, deformation or
cracks may result.
After use
NOTICE:
Putting the cleaner against the wall
without any other support cause the cleaner to
fall down and be damaged.

Cleaning
Cleaner body
From time to time wipe off the outside (cleaner body) of
the cleaner using a cloth dampened in soapy water.
Clean out also the suction opening, dust bag/paper filter
mounting area and the dust stopper.
► Fig.38
Dust bag
Wash the dust bag in soapy water when it is clogged
with dust and the cleaner power becomes weak. Dry it
out thoroughly before use. An insufficiently dried filter
may cause poor suction and shorten the service life of
the motor.
► Fig.39
NOTE: Paper filter is a throw-away type.
When the sponge filter is clogged with dust, remove it
from the cleaner and then wipe it off or wash in water.
Dust stopper
Wipe dust off from the dust stopper.
Remove dust and dirt on the sponge part by lightly
tapping it.
