Switch action (Fig. 2)
CAUTION:
Before operation, always check to be sure that the filter
and pre-filter are correctly installed, or dirt and foreign
matter will get into the motor and cause a failure.
To start the tool, simply pull the trigger. Release the trig-
ger to stop.
Cleaning (Suction)
Nozzle (Fig.3)
Attach the nozzle to clean off tables, desks, furniture, etc.
Nozzle slips on easily.
Nozzle + Extension wand (Straight pipe) (Fig.4)
The extension wand (straight pipe) fits in between the
nozzle and the cleaner itself. This arrangement keeps the
weight of the cleaner near your hand. It is especially con-
venient for overhead cleaning or when reach is important
in close quarters.
Corner nozzle (Fig. 5)
Fit on the corner nozzle for cleaning corners and crevice
of a car or furniture. Sand and other heavy items can be
sucked up easily.
Corner nozzle+ Extension wand (Straight pipe)
(Fig. 6)
In tight quarters where the cleaner itself cannot squeeze
in, or in high places hard to reach, the extension wand
(straight pipe) may be used.
Tapping out filter
When you notice less suction force during operation,
stand the cleaner so that the intake hole is in the upright
position and tap by hand the side of the cleaner 4 or 5
times. This will unclog the pre-filter and filter and restore
suction force.
CAUTION:
Empty the cleaner before it becomes too full, or the suc-
tion force weakens.
Dust disposal
Raise the end of the cleaner so that the contents will not
fall out. Then tap by hand the side of the capsule 4 or 5
times in order to detach materials from the pre-filter and
filter and facilitate emptying. (Fig. 7)
Tip end of cleaner (with suction hole) down and unscrew
capsule as indicated in arrow direction. Remove capsule
carefully keeping it straight up and down so that the con-
tents will not spill out. (Fig. 8)
Empty the contents of the capsule and also the dust
adhering to the pre-filter.
Turn the pre-filter and pull it off toward you, emptying out
the fine dust inside. Then take out the filter and tap out
any adhering dust. (Fig.9)
After emptying out the cleaner, re-assemble in the order
shown in Fig. 10.
1. Fit filter snugly on all the way.
2. Slip on pre-filter.
3. Screw on the capsule.
CAUTION:
• Failure to re-assemble the filter and/or pre-filter so that
they are back on all the way, or using a broken or
ripped filter, can cause dust to get into the motor and
result in a failure.
• Screw the capsule tightly into place. Tighten accesso-
ries (nozzle, etc.) in the same direction as the capsule
screws on.
After use (Fig.11)
When recharging or storing the cleaner, hang the cleaner
from a nail using the convenient hanger in back.
MAINTENANCE
CAUTION:
Always be sure that the tool is switched off and the bat-
tery cartridge is removed before carrying out any work on
the tool.
From time to time wipe off the outside (housing) of the
cleaner using a cloth dampened in soapy water. Never
use gasoline, thinner or the like or discoloration or cracks
can take place.
Rinsing out the filter in soapy water occasionally. Never
use a washing tool to clean the filter. Dry it out thoroughly
before use.
Do not use oil, benzine, thinner or the like to clean off the
cleaner itself. Cracks or discoloration will result.
To maintain product safety and reliability, repairs, mainte-
nance or adjustment should be carried out by a Makita
Authorized Service Center.
