Battery protection system
The tool is equipped with a tool/battery protection sys-
tem. This system automatically cuts o󰀨 power to the
motor to extend tool and battery life. The tool will auto-
matically stop during operation if the tool or battery is
placed under one of the following conditions.
Overloaded:
The tool/battery is operated in a manner that causes it
to draw an abnormally high current.
In this situation, turn the tool o󰀨 and stop the application
that caused the tool to become overloaded. Then turn
the tool on to restart.
If the tool does not start, the battery is overheated. In
this situation, let the battery cool before turning the tool
on again.
Low battery voltage:
The remaining battery capacity is too low and the tool will not
operate. In this situation, remove and recharge the battery.
Protections against other causes:
Protection system is also designed for other causes
that could damage the tool and allows the tool to stop
automatically. Take all the following steps to clear the
causes, when the tool has been brought to a temporary
halt or stop in operation.
1. Turn the tool o󰀨, and then turn it on again to
restart.
2. Charge the battery(ies) or replace it/them with
recharged battery(ies).
3. Let the tool and battery(ies) cool down.
If no improvement can be found by restoring protection
system, then contact your local Makita Service Center.

About the cyclone attachment
Using the cleaner with the cyclone attachment installed
reduces the amount of dust that enters the dust bag,
which helps to prevent the suction force from weaken-
ing. In addition, cleaning after use is also simple.
CAUTION: Always be sure that the tool is
switched o󰀨 and the battery cartridge is removed
before carrying out any work on the tool. If the
battery cartridge is left inserted, the cleaner may start
unexpectedly and result in injury.
CAUTION: Clean the mesh lter of the
cyclone attachment and the dust bag of the
cleaner unit when they become clogged.
Continued use in the clogged condition may result in
heating or smoke.
NOTICE: When the cyclone attachment is
attached, do not use the cleaner in the horizontal
or upward facing condition. Doing so may cause
the mesh lter to become clogged.
NOTICE: Always use the cleaner with the dust
bag installed, even when using the cyclone
attachment. Using the cleaner without the dust bag
installed may result in a motor malfunction.
NOTE: Check that the cyclone attachment, cleaner,
and extension wand (straight pipe) are locked prop-
erly before use.
NOTE: Empty the dust case of the cyclone attach-
ment and the dust bag of the cleaner when dust has
accumulated. Continued use will result in weakened
suction force.
NOTE: You can also use the cyclone attachment with-
out lock function.
NOTE: To install or remove the cyclone attachment,
refer to the section "Installing and removing cleaner
attachments".

16 ENGLISH
NOTE: Check that the cyclone attachment, cleaner,
and extension wand (straight pipe) are locked prop-
erly before restarting operation.
NOTE: If the suction force does not recover even
after disposing of the dust and cleaning the mesh
lter, check whether dust has accumulated in the dust
bag of the cleaner or clogging has occurred.
NOTE: The dust may y up when disposing from the
cyclone attachment. Be careful not to let dust get into
your eyes.
Cleaning
CAUTION: After washing the cyclone attach-
ment, dry it thoroughly before use. Insu󰀩ciently
dried components may cause an electrical shock or
damage to the appliance.
When the dust case becomes dirty or the mesh lter is
clogged, remove and wash them with water. (Refer to
“Disposing of dust” for the removal procedure.)
Dry the parts thoroughly before reinstallation and use.
