Use and Care Manual
14 ENGLISH
NOTICE: Periodically check the lter bag if it is
full. Continuous use with the lter bag full results in
reduced suction power.
NOTICE: Do not use an used lter bag. The lter
bag is designed for single use. Using lter bag repeat-
edly may cause clogging of the lter and results in
damage to the cleaner. If you want to use the bag
repeatedly, use a dust bag.
MAINTENANCE
CAUTION: Always be sure that the tool is
switched off and the battery cartridge is removed
before attempting to perform inspection or
maintenance.
NOTICE: Never use gasoline, benzine, thinner,
alcohol or the like. Discoloration, deformation or
cracks may result.
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 the HEPA lter
CAUTION: Do not use the vacuum cleaner
without a lter or continue to use dirty or dam-
aged lter. Vacuumed dust or particles may be
exhausted from the cleaner and they may cause
respiratory disease to the operator.
NOTICE: To keep optimum suction power and
clean exhaust, clean the lter periodically. If
enough suction power is not obtained even after
the cleaning, replace the lter with new one.
NOTICE: To prevent the lter from being dam-
aged, do not use following tools and similar items
for cleaning :
— Air duster
— High pressure washer
— Tools made of hard materials such as a
metallic brush
1.
Open the lid and take out the lter bag. Release the
hook on the lter and remove it from the vacuum cleaner body.
2. Beat the dust off from the lter. The lter can be
washed with water. Rinse away the dust and particles
on the lter every 1 or 2 month. After that, dry the lter
completely in a shaded and well-ventilated place to
prevent unpleasant odor or malfunctions.
3. To install the lter, insert the side without the ap
into the holder then push the lter downward until the
ap is secured by the rib.

Cleaning the dust bag
Regularly clean the dust bag with soap and water. Turn
the dust bag inside out and remove the sticky dust.

formance as well as the life of the motor.
