WARNING
This appliance is for use on a nominal 120-V circuit and
has a grounding attachment
plug that looks like the plug illustrated.
Make sure that the appliance is connected to an outlet
having the same configuration as the plug. No adaptor
should be used with this appliance.
It is recommended that the vacuum should be connected via a GFCI.
1. As an extension cord, only use the version specified by the man-
ufacturer or one of a higher quality. See operating instructions.
2. When using an extension cord, check the minimum cross-sec-
tions of the cable:
Cable length

25 - 50 feet
> 50 feet
Only carry out maintenance work described in the operating instruc-
tions. Be sure that the vacuum is switched off and unplugged.
Before using the vacuum make sure that the voltage shown on the
rating plate on the vacuum corresponds with the main voltage. This
vacuum is equipped with a thermal cut-out to protect the motor and
other vital vacuum parts from overheating. Should the vacuum cut
out, check that nothing blocks the motor cooling inlet on the backside
of the vacuum, wait for the vacuum to cool down and start again. If
the issue persists, contact Makita factory service center.
