Maintenance - Makita DCL282F Instruction Manual

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.

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.

Dust bag
Wash the dust bag in soapy water when it is clogged with
dust and the cleaner power becomes weak. Dry it out thor-
oughly before use. An insufficiently dried filter may cause
poor suction and shorten the service life of the motor.

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.
