MAINTENANCE

CAUTION:
Always be sure that the tool is
switched off and the battery cartridge is removed
before attempting to perform inspection or
maintenance.
To maintain product SAFETY and RELIABILITY,
repairs, any other maintenance or adjustment should
be performed by Makita Authorized or Factory Service
Centers, always using Makita replacement parts.

Cleaning
CAUTION:
Clean dust bags and filters when
they become clogged. Continued use in the clogged
condition may result in heating or fire.
NOTICE:
Never use gasoline, benzine, thinner,
alcohol or the like. Discoloration, deformation or
cracks may result.
NOTICE:
Do not blow dust sticking on the
cleaner and filters by air duster. It brings dust into
the housing and causes failure.
NOTICE:
After washing dust bags and
sponge filters, dry them thoroughly before use.
Insufficiently dried filters may cause poor suction and
shorten the service life of the motor.
NOTICE:
After cleaning dust bags and sponge
filters, be sure to re-install them before use. If
you use the cleaner without dust bags and sponge
filters, dust comes into the motor housing and cause
malfunction.
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 thoroughly before use. An insufficiently dried filter
may cause poor suction and shorten the service life of
the motor.

Wipe dust off from the dust stopper.
Remove dust and dirt on the sponge part by lightly
tapping it.

Removing and installing the sponge
filter
CAUTION:
After cleaning sponge filter, be
sure to install it on the cleaner. If washed in water,

from the cleaner and then wipe it off or wash in water.
To remove the sponge filter, remove the dust bag or
paper filter and then pinch and take the sponge filter
out.
