1 Important safety instructions
Symbols used to mark instructions
Before using the vacuum cleaner, always read the operating instructions and keep them readily available.
This symbol is used to mark safety instructions that must be observed to prevent damage to the vacuum cleaner and its performance.
This symbol is used to mark safety instructions that must be observed to prevent damage to persons.
This symbol indicates tips and instr uctions to simplify work and to ensure safe operation.

For your own safety

Only allow the vacuum cleaner to be used by persons who have been trained in its use and who have been explicitly authorized to use it. Despite its simple handling the vacuum cleaner is not suitable for children. The use of the vacuum cleaner
is subject to valid national regulations. Besides the operating instructions and the binding accident prevention regulations valid in the country of use, observe recognized regulations for safety and proper use. Do not use any unsafe work techniques.

Purpose and intended use

The vacuum cleaners described in this operating manual are suitable for commercial use, e.g. in hotels, schools, hospitals, factories, shops, ofces and rental businesses. for separation of dust with an exposure limit of greater than 1 mg/m, (dust class L).

The following materials should not be picked up by the vacuum cleaner: hot materials (burning cigarettes, hot ash, etc.) flammable, explosive, aggressive liquids (e.g. petrol, solvents, acids, alkalis, etc.) flammable, explosive dust (e.g. magnesium or aluminium dust, etc.)
When dust removers are used, the rate at which air is exchanged in the room must be adequate if the exhaust air from the vacuum cleaner is blown into the room (please observe regulations valid in your country).
Before starting work, the operating staff must be informed on use of the vacuum cleaner risks associated with the material to be picked up safe disposal of the picked up material.
Precautions and safety regulations when using the vacuum cleaner
Before start-up Inspect power cord regularly to detect signs of damage, e.g. cracks or ageing. If the power cord is damaged, it must be replaced by MakitaService or an electrician to avoid danger before use of the vacuum cleaner is continued. Use only the type of power cord specied in the operating manual. Do not damage the power cord (e.g. by moving over it or pulling or crushing it). Disconnect the power cord by pulling the plug only (do not pull or tug the power cord). Inspect the vacuum cleaners to ensure that they are in proper condition. Plugs and couplings in power cords must at least have splash protection. Never use the vacuum cleaner if the lter element is damaged.
Electrical components Check the rated voltage of the vacuum cleaner before connecting it to the mains supply system. Ensure that the voltage shown on the rating plate corresponds to the voltage of the local mains power supply. If you are using an extension cord, use only those specied by the manufacturer or higher quality ones (see section 9.4 Technical data). It is recommended that the vacuum cleaner should be connected via a residual current circuit breaker. This stops the supply of electricity if the leakage current to earth exceeds 30 mA for 30 ms or it has an earth tester circuit. When using an extension lead, check the minimum cross-sections of the cable:
Cable length m up to 20 m 20 to 50 m Cross section <16 A

1.5mm 2.5mm

<25 A

2.5mm 4.0mm

Picking up liquids If foam develops or liquid emerges, stop work immediately and empty the dirt tank. Regularly clean the built in oat to limit the water level and check that they are not damaged. See section 5 for information on handling liquids and (hazardous) dust.
Arrange the electrical parts (sockets, plugs and couplings) and lay down the extension lead so that the protection class is maintained. Never spray water on to the upper section of the vacuum cleaner. Danger for persons, risk or short-circuiting. Observe the latest edition of the IEC regulations.

Tool socket

Use the socket on the vacuum cleaner for the purpose dened in the operating instructions only. Before plugging an appliance into the appliance socket: 1. Switch off the vacuum cleaner
2. Switch off the appliance to be connected. CAUTION! Follow the operating instructions and safety instructions for appliances connected to the power tool socket.
Maintenance, cleaning and repair
Only carry out maintenance work described in the operating instructions. Always pull out the mains plug before cleaning and maintenance of the vacuum cleaner. During maintenance and cleaning, handle the vacuum cleaner in such a manner that there is no danger for maintenance staff or other persons. In the maintenance area use ltered compulsory ventilation wear protective clothing clean the maintenance are so that no harmful substances get into the surroundings.
A dust test must be performed at least once every year by Makita service or a trained person. This test includes, for example, whether there is damage to the lter, the vacuum cleaner is sealed to the air and the control equipment works properly.
Accessories and spare parts
Use only the brushes supplied with the vacuum cleaner or specied in the operating manual. The use of other brushes can adversely affect safety.
Use only original Makita accessories and spare parts (see section 9.5). The use of other parts can adversely affect safety.

Ensure that the retaining clamps t properly.

4 Operation

4.1 Connections 4.1.1 Connecting the suction hose
1. Connect the suction hose.
4.1.2 Electrical connection
The operating voltage shown on the rating plate must correspond to the voltage of the mains power supply.

1. Ensure that the cleaner is switched off. 2. Insert the power cord into a properly installed and fused socket with earthing contact. 1. Ensure that the power tool is switched off. 2. Connect the power tool to the appliance socket on the control panel.
4.1.3 Connecting power tools
To comply with regulations, only approved dust producing tools should be connected. The maximum power consumption of the connected power tool is stated in section 9.4 "Technical data".
Switching on the vacuum cleaner 4.2.1 Switch position "I"
1. Turn the switch to position "I". The vacuum cleaner motor starts.
4.2.2 Switch position "auto"
1. Turn the switch to position "auto". The vacuum cleaner motor starts when the connected power tool is switched on. CAUTION! Before switching the switch to position "auto", ensure that the power tool connected to the appliance socket is switched off. 2. When the power tool is switched off, the vacuum cleaner continues to run for a short moment so that any dust in the suction hose is conveyed to the lter bag.
4.2.3 Suction power control

Cleaning the filter element

Filter Cleaning System

Push & Clean
2. Press (3x) the operating knob for lter cleaning. The resulting stream of air removes deposited dust from the slats of the lter elements.
If suction performance drops: 1. Close the nozzle or suction hose opening with the palm of your hand.

Techniques

If used correctly, additional accessories, suction nozzles and suction hoses can enhance the cleaning action and reduce the cleaning effort.
Effective cleaning is achieved if you follow just a few guidelines in combination with your own practical experience in special elds. Here are some basic tips.
5.1.1 Picking up dry substances
CAUTION! Do not pick up ammable substances. Before picking up dry substances, always ensure that a lter bag is inserted in the tank (see section 9.5 "Accessories" for order number). Disposal of the picked up material is then simple and hygienic.
After picking up liquids, the lter element is wet. A damp lter element clogs more quickly when dry substances are picked up. For this reason the lter element should be washed and dried or replaced by a dry element before dry substances are picked up.

5.1.2 Picking up liquids

CAUTION! Do not pick up ammable liquids. Always remove the lter bag and check the oater before picking up liquids (see section 7.2.3 "Replacing the lter element"). The use of a separate lter element or lter screen is recommended.

If foam appears, stop work immediately and empty the tank. To reduce the amount of foam, use foam killer Foam Stop (see section 9.5 "Accessories" for order number).

6 After finishing work

6.1 Switching the vacuum cleaner off and storage 1. Switch off the vacuum cleaner and pull the mains plug out of the socket. 2. Wind up the power cord and hang it on the handle. 3. Empty the tank and clean the vacuum cleaner. 4. After picking up liquids: Store the upper section of the cleaner separately so that the lter element can dry. 5. Store the cleaner in a dry room where it is protected from unauthorized use.
