Operation - Makita 3901 Instruction Manual

To attach the dust bag, fit it onto the dust nozzle. If the
dust bag becomes an obstacle to your work, turn the dust
nozzle to change the dust bag position.
When the dust bag is about half full, switch off and
unplug the tool. Remove the dust bag from the tool and
pull the bag's fastener out. Empty the dust bag by tapping
it lightly to remove as much of the dust as possible.
NOTE:
• If you connect a Makita vacuum cleaner to your
plate joiner, more efficient and cleaner operations
can be performed.
