Disposing of dust
CAUTION:
Empty the dust bag or replace the
paper filter before it becomes full. If not, the suc-
tion force weakens.
CAUTION:
When closing the dust case cover,
be careful not to pinch your fingers.
NOTICE:
Never throw away the dust stopper
because it should be used whenever either the
dust bag or the paper filter is used.
NOTICE:
When the dust bag/paper filter is not
inside of the cleaner, the dust case cover does
not close completely. Do not force to close the
dust case cover. It may result in deforming or
breakage of the tool.
NOTICE:
When disposing of dust, also clean the
room for the dust bag/paper filter. The remaining
dust and dirt in the room may cause the sponge filter
to be clogged or the motor to be damaged.

air into objects, like rubber rafting, balls or other
inflatable products. Increased motor revolution may
cause dangerous fan breakage.

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
From time to time wipe off the outside (cleaner body) of
the cleaner using a cloth dampened in soapy water.
Clean out also the suction opening, dust bag/paper filter
mounting area and the dust stopper.
► Fig.34
Wash the dust bag in soapy water when it is clogged with
dust and the cleaner power becomes weak. Dry it out thor-
oughly before use. An insufficiently dried filter may cause
poor suction and shorten the service life of the motor.

NOTE: Paper filter is a throw-away type.
When the sponge filter is clogged with dust, remove it
from the cleaner and then wipe it off or wash in water.
Removing and installing the sponge
filter
CAUTION:
After cleaning sponge filter, be
sure to install it on the cleaner. If washed in water,
dry it up before installing. An insufficiently dried
sponge filter may shorten the service life of the motor.
To remove the sponge filter, remove the dust bag or
paper filter and then pinch and take it out.
