Instructions
Your portable vac comes fully
assembled and ready for use.
Before operating, always insure that
the filter bag and secondary filter
are installed properly. To check this,
be sure that the electric cord is
unplugged, and unwrapped from
the cleaner. Stand vacuum cleaner
upright and remove tank by unlock-
ing latch at bottom and lift tank up
(see photo A.) Check filter bag and
secondary filter installation. Then
reattach the tank and latch it in
place. To operate, simply plug in
and slide switch to "on" position.
All you need do
is
add the proper
accessories for your particular
cleaning job. The unit is equipped
with a permanently lubricated motor which
is
sealed for long life.
Lubrication is not required. A dual filtration system allows the passage
of only the cleanest possible exhausted air, which also provides ade-
quate air movement past the motor for cooling.
DO NOT operate without the secondary filter in place.
DO NOT operate without the paper filter bag.
DO NOT operate when the paper filter bag is full.
Replace the filter bag when you notice a decline in vacuum pick-up
or a higher than usual housing temperature.

Cleaning Or Replacing Secondary Filter
-
-
The, secondary filter may require
periodic cleaning or replacement. The
filter is positioned at the opening of
the bottom part of the unit. Pull out
the filter, and shake or brush to
remove dirt. An excessive amount
of dirt on the secondary filter indi-
cates a torn or leaking disposable
bag
or
the disposable bag is not
properly installed. To replace the
secondary filter, insure that it is cor-
rectly positioned behind the six tabs
(see photo C).
NEVER OPERATE VACUUM CLEANER WITHOUT DISPOSABLE
FILTER BAG AND SECONDARY FILTER IN PLACE. REPLACE WITH
MANUFACTURER RECOMMENDED FILTER BAGS FOR BEST
PERFORMANCE.
How To Mount Wall Bracket
1. The Wall Bracket is designed to be mounted vertically on a wall.
NOTE: Select a location on a wall where your Makita Bench
Vac cannot be pulled or dropped into water or other liquids; and,
not subjected to extreme temperatures or weather conditions.
2. To mount the bracket, place it against the wall where it is to be
mounted and install the screw provided. Attach screw to a wail
stud if possible.
3 .
Hanging the vac on the wall bracket is accomplished by plac-
ing the vac on the wall bracket and engaging the hook to the
wall bracket (see photo
D ) .
To store cord neatly, wrap cord as shown in photo and attach
cord to plug clip (see photo E).
