Warning Beep; Water Drain; Filter Cleaning System - Makita VC006GM Instruction Manual

Warning beep

There are two types of beeping sound. One is short
beeps, and the other is continuous beeps.
• When the air flow speed falls under 20 m/s, the
cleaner emits short warning beeps for safety rea-
sons. When it sounds, check the hose diameter
selection dial or if the suction force is not too low.
If the beeps keep sounding, perform maintenance
or ask your local service center.
• When the tank is filled with liquid, the cleaner emits
continuous warning beeps and stops automatically.
After the cleaner stops, switch off the cleaner and
empty the tank.
Auto-suction stop during wet
suction operation
WARNING:
Do not pick up foam or soapy
liquid. It can cause foam to come out of air exit.
Continuous use under such conditions may cause an
electric shock and breakage of the cleaner.
The cleaner has a mechanism that prevents water from
immersing into the motor when picking up more than a
certain amount of water.
When the tank is full with liquid, the cleaner emits con-
tinuous warning beeps and stops automatically. After the
cleaner stops, switch off the cleaner and empty the tank.

Filter cleaning system

This appliance has filter cleaning system. During the
use of the appliance, filter cleaning system dusts the
filters automatically to prevent the suction force lower-
ing because of clogging of filters.
If the appliance sucks up the large quantity of dust all at
once, suction force may decrease. In that case, manual
filter cleaning is recommended.
1. Switch off the appliance.
2. Set the suction power to maximum, and then close
the suction hose opening with your palm.
3.
Switch on the appliance and operate for approxi-
mately 15 seconds with the suction hose opening closed.
