Using as a vacuum cleaner
NOTICE:
Use the HEPA filter when picking up
dry dust.
NOTICE:
If you continue to pick up water
with the HEPA filter, the suction power may be
reduced. In that case dry the HEPA filter.
Use the wet filter (optional accessory) when pick-
ing up water repeatedly.

Using as a blower
CAUTION:
Do not blow out muddy water such
as pool and sand area. If foreign objects are blown
into eyes, it may result in personal injury.
CAUTION:
Do not operate as a blower against
the wind. If foreign objects are blown into eyes, it
may result in personal injury.
CAUTION:
Always use protective goggles, a
cap and mask while operating.
CAUTION:
Never point the nozzle at anyone
in the vicinity.
CAUTION:
The operator or user is responsi-
ble for accidents or hazards occurring to other
people or their property.
CAUTION:
Do not use the tool for blowing
air into objects, like rubber rafting, balls or other
inflatable products. Increased motor revolution may
cause dangerous fan breakage.
1.
Install the hose into the blower outlet.
2.
Point the hose tip to the object to be blown off and
turn on the tool.

NOTE: To clean narrow space, connecting the sash
nozzle to the hose makes it easy.
MAINTENANCE
CAUTION:
Always be sure that the tool is
switched off and the battery cartridge is removed
before attempting to perform inspection or
maintenance.
CAUTION:
To reduce the contact to the dust,
use goggles and dust mask when emptying the
tank or cleaning the filter.
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.
Emptying the tank
WARNING:
cleaner is switched off and the battery cartridge
is removed before emptying the tank. Failure to do
so may cause an electric shock and serious personal
injury.
CAUTION:
Do not apply a great impact on
the tank. A great impact may cause deformation and
damage to the parts.
CAUTION:
Empty the tank at least once a day
although this depends on picked-up dust volume
in the tank. Or, the suction force will weaken and the
motor may be broken.
CAUTION:
Do not grab the hook when empty-
ing the tank. Grabbing the hook may cause the hook
to break.
Unhook and lift up the tank cover.
Shake off the dust from the filter and then dispose of the
dust from the tank.
