Preparation
1. Always wear substantial footwear and long
trousers while operating the machine.
Do not wear loose clothing or jewellery that
2.
can be drawn into the air inlet. Keep long hair
away from the air inlets.
Always wear protective goggles to protect
3.
your eyes from injury when using power tools.
The goggles must comply with ANSI Z87.1 in
the USA, EN 166 in Europe, or AS/NZS 1336
in Australia/New Zealand. In Australia/New
Zealand, it is legally required to wear a face
shield to protect your face, too.
It is an employer's responsibility to enforce
the use of appropriate safety protective equip-
ments by the tool operators and by other per-
sons in the immediate working area.
4. To prevent dust irritation the wearing of a face
mask is recommended.
While operating the machine, always wear
5.
non-slip and protective footwear. Non-skid,
closed-toed safety boots and shoes will reduce the
risk of injury.
6. Use personal protective equipment. Always
wear eye protection. Protective equipment such
as a dust mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard hat or
hearing protection used for appropriate conditions
will reduce personal injuries.

cartridge and make sure that all moving parts
have come to a complete stop
• whenever you leave the machine.
• before clearing blockages.
• before checking, cleaning or working on
the machine.
• if the machine starts to vibrate
abnormally.
• whenever you convert the machine from
blower to vacuum, and vice versa.
2. Operate the machine only in daylight or in
good artificial light.
Do not overreach and keep proper balance and
3.
footing at all times.
4. Always be sure of your footing on slopes.
5. Walk, never run.
Keep all cooling air inlets clear of debris.
6.
7. When using the machine for blower operation,
never blow debris in the direction of bystand-
ers. When using the machine for vacuuming
operation, be careful not to blow debris in the
direction of bystanders with the exhausted
wind from the dust bag.
Operate the machine in a recommended posi-
8.
tion and on a firm surface.
9. Do not operate the machine at high places.
10. Never point the nozzle at anyone in the vicinity
when using the machine.
11. Never block suction inlet and/or blower outlet.
• Be careful not to block suction inlet or
blower outlet with dust or dirt when oper-
ating in dusty area.
• Do not use nozzles other than the nozzles
provided by Makita.
• Do not use the blower to inflate balls,
rubber boat or the similar.
12. Do not operate the machine near open window, etc.
13. Operating the machine only at reasonable hours
is recommended - not early in the morning or
late at night when people might be disturbed.
14. Using rakes and brooms to loosen debris
before blowing is recommended.
15. If the machine strikes any foreign objects or
should start making any unusual noise or
vibration, immediately switch off the machine
to stop it. Remove the battery cartridge from
the machine and inspect the machine for
damage before restarting and operating the
machine. If the machine is damaged, ask
Makita Authorized Service Centers for repair.
16. Do not insert fingers or other objects into
