Connections with your work tools
(Country specific)
By connecting the vacuum cleaner to any available
work tools compatible with the cleaner, it works as a
dust extractor for your power tools.
Select one of the front cuffs or joints (optional acces-
sories) as most suitable for your tool model. Place the
cuffs or joint, as necessary, between the front end of the
cleaner hose and a dust extraction port of your tool.

WIRELESS ACTIVATION
FUNCTION
What you can do with the wireless

The wireless activation function enables clean and
comfortable operation. By connecting a supported tool
to the cleaner, you can run the cleaner automatically
along with the switch operation of the tool.
► Fig.27
NOTICE:
Be sure to refer to the instruction man-
ual of the tool when using the cleaner with wire-
less activation function.
NOTICE:
Do not disassemble or tamper with the
wireless unit.
NOTICE:
To prevent dust coming into the slot
of the wireless unit, always close the lid securely
during operation and storage.
NOTICE:
Do not remove the wireless unit while
the power is being supplied. Doing so may cause a
malfunction of the wireless unit.
NOTICE:
Do not press the wireless activation
button too hard and/or press the button with an
object with a sharp edge.
NOTE: Wireless activation needs Makita tools
equipped with the wireless unit.
NOTE: Prior to the initial use of the wireless activa-
tion function with each tool, the tool registration is
required. Once the registration is finished with the
tool, the re-registration is not required unless it is
cancelled.
NOTE: Before registration, be sure that the wireless
unit is properly inserted.
NOTE: One wireless unit can register up to 10 links
with other wireless units. If more than 10 other wire-
less units are registered to one wireless unit, the one
registered earliest will be cancelled automatically.
NOTE: The position of the wireless activation button
varies depending on the tool.
NOTE: The cleaner also starts by pressing the power
button when the stand-by switch is set to "AUTO".
However the power button will not actuate when the
