The machine is intended for blowing dust.
The typical A-weighted noise level determined according to EN50636-2-100:
Sound pressure level (LpA): 86.6 dB (A)
Uncertainty (K): 1.4 dB (A)
Sound power level (LWA): 93.5 dB (A)
Uncertainty (K): 2.7 dB(A)
NOTE: The declared noise emission value(s) has been measured in accordance with a standard test method and may be used for comparing one tool with another.
NOTE: The declared noise emission value(s) may also be used in a preliminary assessment of exposure.
Wear ear protection.
The noise emission during actual use of the power tool can differ from the declared value(s) depending on the ways in which the tool is used especially what kind of workpiece is processed.
Be sure to identify safety measures to protect the operator that are based on an estimation of exposure in the actual conditions of use (taking account of all parts of the operating cycle such as the times when the tool is switched off and when it is running idle in addition to the trigger time).
The vibration total value (tri-axial vector sum) determined according to EN50636-2-100:
Work mode: operation without load
Vibration emission (ah): 2.5 m/s2 or less
Uncertainty (K): 1.5 m/s2
NOTE: The declared vibration total value(s) has been measured in accordance with a standard test method and may be used for comparing one tool with another.
NOTE: The declared vibration total value(s) may also be used in a preliminary assessment of exposure.
The vibration emission during actual use of the power tool can differ from the declared value(s) depending on the ways in which the tool is used especially what kind of workpiece is processed.

Be sure to attach the hooks of the shoulder strap to the machine securely. If the hooks are attached incompletely, they may come off and cause an injury.
Be sure to use the shoulder strap dedicated to this machine. Using other shoulder strap may cause an injury.
When you use the machine in combination of the backpack-type power supply such as portable power pack, do not use the shoulder strap included in the machine package.
If you put on the shoulder strap included in the machine package and the shoulder harness of the backpack-type power supply at the same time, removing the machine or backpack-type power supply is difficult in case of an emergency, and it may cause an accident or injury.
Attach the hooks of the shoulder strap to the machine as shown in the figure.
► Fig.6:
You can also attach the shoulder strap to the machine as shown in the figure by attaching one end of the shoulder strap to the buckle of the shoulder strap.
► Fig.7:
Always be sure that the machine is switched off and the battery cartridge is removed before adjusting or checking function on the machine.
Always switch off the machine before installing or removing of the battery cartridge.
Hold the machine and the battery cartridge firmly when installing or removing battery cartridge. Failure to hold the machine and the battery cartridge firmly may cause them to slip off your hands and result in damage to the machine and battery cartridge and a personal injury.
Always install the battery cartridge fully until the red indicator cannot be seen. If not, it may accidentally fall out of the machine, causing injury to you or someone around you.
Do not install the battery cartridge forcibly. If the cartridge does not slide in easily, it is not being inserted correctly.
► Fig.8:
To remove the battery cartridge, slide it from the machine while sliding the button on the front of the cartridge.
To install the battery cartridge, align the tongue on the battery cartridge with the groove in the housing and slip it into place. Insert it all the way until it locks in place with a little click. If you can see the red indicator on the upper side of the button, it is not locked completely.
► Fig.9:
Only for battery cartridges with the indicator
Press the check button on the battery cartridge to indicate the remaining battery capacity. The indicator lamps light up for a few seconds.
Indicator lamps | Remaining capacity | ||
![]() Lighted | ![]() Off | ![]() Blinking | |
![]() | 75% to 100% | ||
![]() | 50% to 75% | ||
![]() | 25% to 50% | ||
![]() | 0% to 25% | ||
![]() | Charge the battery. | ||
![]() | The battery may have malfunctioned. |
NOTE: Depending on the conditions of use and the ambient temperature, the indication may differ slightly from the actual capacity.
NOTE: The first (far left) indicator lamp will blink when the battery protection system works.
The machine is equipped with a machine/battery protection system. This system automatically cuts off power to the motor to extend machine and battery life. The machine will automatically stop during operation if the machine or battery is placed under one of the following conditions:
Overload protection
When the machine or battery is operated in a manner that causes it to draw an abnormally high current, the machine automatically stops without any indication. In this situation, turn the machine off and stop the application that caused the machine to become overloaded. Then turn the machine on to restart.
Overheat protection
When the machine or battery is overheated, the machine stops automatically. In this case, let the machine and battery cool before turning the machine on again.
Overdischarge protection
When the battery capacity is not enough, the machine stops automatically. In this case, remove the battery from the machine and charge the battery.
Before installing the battery cartridge into the machine, always check to see that the switch trigger actuates properly and returns to the "OFF" position when released
► Fig.10:
To start the machine, simply pull the switch trigger. The speed increases by increasing pressure on the switch trigger. Release the switch trigger to stop.
► Fig.11:
The cruise control function allows the operator to maintain a constant speed without pulling the trigger. To increase the speed, turn the control lever forward. To decrease the speed, turn the control lever backward.
Even if you install the battery cartridge while pulling the switch trigger, the machine does not start. To start the machine, first release the switch trigger and return the control lever fully, and then pull the switch trigger.
Do not place the machine on the ground while it is switched on. Sand or dust may enter from suction inlet and cause a malfunction or personal injury
Hold the machine firmly with a hand and perform the blowing operation by moving it around slowly. When blowing around building, big stone or vehicle, direct the nozzle away from them. When performing an operation in a corner, start from the corner and then move to wide area.

NOTICE: Never use gasoline, benzine, thinner, alcohol or the like. Discoloration, deformation or cracks may result.
► Fig.14:
Remove dust or dirt from the suction inlet at the rear of the machine.
Always be sure that the machine is switched off and the battery cartridge is removed before attempting to perform inspection or maintenance
► Fig.15:
The hook hole on the bottom of the machine is convenient for hanging the machine from a nail or screw on the wall. Store the machine in a place out of the reach of children and not exposed to moisture or rain.
Before asking for repairs, conduct your own inspection first. If you find a problem that is not explained in the manual, do not attempt to dismantle the machine. Instead, ask Makita Authorized Service Centers, always using Makita replacement parts for repairs.
