NOTICE:
Avoid using the high pressure washer
for longer than 1 hour. After using it for 1 hour,
leave a same length of intermission.
NOTICE:
To protect the mechanism of the high
pressure washer, do not use water hotter than
40°C.

NOTICE:
When suspending the operation for a
long time, switch off the high pressure washer
and squeeze the trigger to discharge the remain-

If the high pressure washer is left for a long time while
maintaining high pressure, it may not restart. In this
situation, switch off the high pressure washer, sup-
ply water from a faucet to the inlet and squeeze the
trigger with keeping the water supply for a while. And
then, switch on the high pressure washer.
NOTICE:
Do not use the machine in an over-
turned position. Doing so may cause malfunction.

Supplying water from a tank/
reservoir
CAUTION:
When attaching the sleeve to the
filter case of the strainer assembly, be careful not
to hurt your hand by the hose band.
NOTICE:
Always use Makita's hose assembly
and strainer assembly.
NOTICE:
Always keep 1.0 m or less in height
between the inlet of the high pressure washer
and the water surface. Otherwise, the high pressure
washer will be unable to take the water up into the
pump.
NOTICE:
The water level that the machine can
pump up is 100 mm or more.
NOTICE:
Do not use water from rivers, ponds,
or water mixed with sand or mud. Doing so may
cause malfunction.
NOTE: If it takes a long time for the water to come
out, clean the strainer and the filter of the strainer
assembly.
You can supply water from a tank or reservoir instead
of a faucet.
1. Turn off the machine, and remove the nozzle from
the trigger gun.

time, or the water pressure is not enough, check the
following:
• Loosening of the hose assembly, strainer
assembly, and water hose connector.
• Coupling sleeves of the hose assembly are
firmly attached onto the water hose connector
and filter case of the strainer assembly.
Tighten if they are loose.
