Symbols used to mark
instructions
Before using the
vacuum cleaner,
always read the
operating instruc-
tions and keep
them readily
available.
This symbol is
used to mark
safety instructions
that must be ob-
served to prevent
damage to the
vacuum cleaner and its perform-
ance.
This symbol is
used to mark safe-
ty instructions that
must be observed
to prevent damage
to persons.
This symbol in-
dicates tips and
instructions 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 regu-
lations. Besides the operating
instructions and the binding ac-
cident prevention regulations
valid in the country of use, ob-
serve 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 suit-
able for
– commercial use, e.g. in ho-
tels, schools, hospitals, fac-
tories, shops, offices and
rental businesses.
– for separation of dust with an
exposure limit of greater than
0,1 mg/m³, (dust class M).
The following materials should
not be picked up by the vacuum
cleaner:
– hot materials (burning ciga-
rettes, hot ash, etc.)
– flammable, explosive, ag-
gressive liquids (e.g. petrol,
solvents, acids, alkalis, etc.)
– flammable, explosive dust
(e.g. magnesium or alumini-
um dust, etc.)
When dust removers are used,
the rate at which air is ex-
changed in the room must be
adequate if the exhaust air from
the vacuum cleaner is blown into
the room (please observe regu-
lations valid in your country).
Before starting work, the operat-
ing staff must be informed on
– use of the vacuum cleaner
– risks associated with the ma-
terial 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 the Service
or an electrician to avoid danger
before use of the vacuum clean-
er is continued.
Use only the type of power cord
specified in the operating man-
ual.
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 filter element is damaged.
Picking up liquids
If foam develops or liquid emerg-
es, stop work immediately and
empty the dirt tank.
Regularly clean the built in level
indicator hose to limit the wa-
ter level and check that it is not
damaged.
See section 5 for information on
handling liquids and (hazard-
ous) dust.
Electrical components
Check the rated voltage of the
vacuum cleaner before connect-
ing 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 specified
by the manufacturer or higher
quality ones (see section 9.4
„Technical data“).
It is recommended that the vac-
uum cleaner should be connect-
ed via a residual current circuit
breaker. This stops the supply
of electricity if the leakage cur-
rent to earth exceeds 30 mA for
30 ms or it has an earth tester
circuit.
When using an extension lead,
check the minimum cross-sec-
tions of the cable:
Cable length
m
Cross section
<16 A <25 A
up to 20 m
ø1.5mm² ø2.5mm²
20 to 50 m
ø2.5mm² ø4.0mm²
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 up-
per section of the vacuum clean-
er. Danger for persons, risk or
short-circuiting.
Observe the latest edition of the
IEC regulations.

MAKITA 447 M
english Use the socket on the vacuum
cleaner for the purpose defined
in the operating instructions
only.
Before plugging an appliance
into the appliance socket:
1. Switch off the vacuum clean-
er
2. Switch off the appliance to
be connected.
CAUTION!
Follow the operating instructions
and safety instructions for appli-
ances connected to the power
tool socket.

2.1 Purpose This cleaner is suitable to pick
up dry, nonflammable dust, liq-
uids, sawdust and hazardous
dusts with maximum room con-
centration values r0.1 mg/m3
(dust class M).
Depending on how hazardous
the dust is, the cleaner must
be fitted with appropriate filters.
See table in section 5.1.1.
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 mainte-
nance of the vacuum cleaner.
During maintenance and clean-
ing, handle the vacuum cleaner
in such a manner that there is no
danger for maintenance staff or
other persons.
In the maintenance area
– use filtered compulsory ven-
tilation
– wear protective clothing
– clean the maintenance are
so that no harmful substanc-
es get into the surroundings.
Before removing the vacuum
cleaner from the area contami-
nated with harmful substances:
– clean the outside of the vac-
uum cleaner, wipe it clean or
pack the vacuum cleaner in
well sealed packaging
– and avoid spreading depos-
ited harmful dust.
During maintenance and repair
work all contaminated parts that
could not be cleaned satisfacto-
rily must be:
– packed in well sealed bags
– disposed of in a manner that
complies with valid regula-
tions for such waste remov-
al.
A dust test must be performed
at least once every year by the
Service or a trained person.
This test includes, for example,
whether there is damage to
the filter, the vacuum cleaner is
sealed to the air and the control
equipment works properly.

4.4 Acoustic warning For safety reasons, an acoustic
warning sounds if the air speed
in the suction hose drops to be-
low 20 m/s. See section “Trou-
bleshooting”.
To ensure that suction performance
is always at its best, the filter ele-
ment is automatically cleaned dur-
ing operation. We recommend com-
plete cleaning if the filter element
becomes extremely dirty.
After picking up harmless dust us-
ing the waste bag.
1. Switch off the vacuum clean-
er
2. Close the nozzles or suction
hose opening with the palm
4.5 Cleaning the filter
element
of your hand.
3. Turn the switch to position „I“
and let the cleaner operate
for approx. 10 seconds with
the suction hose opening
closed.
10 sec .
5 Applications and techniques
5.1 Techniques If used correctly, additional ac-
cessories, 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
fields.
Here are some basic tips.
5.1.1 Picking up dry
substances
The suction hose diameter must
suit the position of the switch in
order to pick up dry, nonflam-
mable dust with maximum room
concentration values.
There must always be a safety
filter bag in the tank before dry
substances with maximum room
concentration values are picked
up. See section 9.5 “Accesso-
ries” for ordering number.
To pick up harmless dust we rec-
ommend the use of a waste bag.
See section 9.5 “Accessories”
for ordering number. Disposal
of the picked up material is then
simple and hygienic.
After picking up liquids, the filter
element is wet. A damp filter el-
ement clogs more quickly when
dry substances are picked up.
For this reason the filter element
should be washed and dried or
replaced by a dry element be-
fore dry substances are picked
up.
Always use a filter bag/waste
bag that is suitable for the type
of dust (see table):
Do not pick up flammable sub-
stances.

8
MAKITA 447 M
english
5.1.2 Picking up liquids Before liquids are picked up,
always remove the filter bag/
waste bag and check that the
water level limit works properly.
(See section 7.2.3 “Replacing
the filter element“.)
The use of a separate filter el-
ement or filter screen is recom-
mended.
If foam appears, stop work im-
mediately and empty the tank.
To reduce the amount of foam,
use foam killer Foam-Stop (see
section 9.5 „Accessories“ for or-
der number).
6 After finishing work
6.1 Switching the vacuum
cleaner off and storage
1. After picking up hazardous
dust, vacuum clean the out-
side of the cleaner.
2. Switch off the vacuum clean-
er and pull the mains plug
out of the socket.
3. Wind up the power cord and
hang it on the handle.
4. Empty the tank and clean the
vacuum cleaner.
5. After picking up liquids: Store
the upper section of the
cleaner separately so that
the filter element can dry.
6. Store the vacuum cleaner in
a dry room where it is pro-
tected from unauthorized
use.

1 Belangrijke veiligheidsaanwijzingen
Aanduiding van belangrijke
aanwijzingen
Lees in elk geval
de gebruiksaan-
wijzing door en
berg deze binnen
handbereik op
voordat u het toe-
stel in bedrijf stelt.
Dit symbool vindt
u bij veiligheids-
aanwijzingen,
waarvan het niet-
opvolgen kan
leiden tot gevaar
voor het toestel en de werking
ervan.
Veiligheidsaanwij-
zingen, waarvan
het niet-opvolgen
kan leiden tot ge-
vaar voor perso-
nen, zijn met dit gevarensymbool
in het bijzonder op de voorgrond
geplaatst.
Hier staan advie-
zen of aanwijzin-
gen die het werk
vergemakkelijken en een veilig
gebruik waarborgen.
Voor uw eigen veiligheid Het toestel mag alleen door
personen worden gebruikt die
omtrent het gebruik zijn geïn-
strueerd en uitdrukkelijk met de
bediening zijn belast.
Ondanks de eenvoudige hante-
ring is het toestel niet voor kin-
derhanden geschikt.
Het gebruik van het toestel valt
onder de geldende nationale
bepalingen. Naast de gebruiks-
aanwijzing en de in het land van
gebruik geldende bindende vei-
ligheidsvoorschriften moeten te-
vens de erkende vaktechnische
voorschriften voor het veilig en
vakkundig werken in acht wor-
den genomen.
Elke werkwijze die twijfel aan de
veiligheid oproept, is verboden.
Toepassing en gebruik con-
form de bepalingen
De toestellen die in deze ge-
bruiksaanwijzing worden be-
schreven, zijn geschikt voor
- het industriële gebruik, b.v.
in hotels, scholen, ziekenhui-
zen, fabrieken, winkels, kan-
toren en verhuurmaatschap-
pijen
- het afscheiden van stof met
een expositie-grenswaarde
van hoger dan 0,1 mg/m³
(stofklasse M).
De volgende materialen mogen
niet worden opgezogen:
- hete materialen (smeulende
sigaretten, hete as enz.)
- brandbare, explosieve,
agressieve vloeistoffen (b.v.
benzine, oplosmiddelen, zu-
ren, logen enz.)
- brandbare, explosieve soor-
ten stof (b.v. magnesium-,
aluminiumstof enz.).
Bij stofvangers moet een vol-
doend ventilatiepercentage in
de ruimte voorhanden zijn als
de uitlaatlucht van het toestel in
de ruimte terugkeert (let hierbij
op de voor u geldende nationale
bepalingen).
Het bedieningspersoneel van
het toestel moet voor het werk
worden geïnformeerd over
- het hanteren van het toestel
- gevaren die van het op te

42
nederlands
MAKITA 447 M
zuigen materiaal uitgaan
- de veilige eliminatie van het
opgezogen materiaal.
Veiligheidsmaatregelen en
veiligheidsbepalingen bij het
gebruik
Vóór de inbedrijfstelling
De netaansluitkabel regelmatig
inzake beschadiging zoals b.v.
scheurvorming of veroudering
controleren.
Als de netaansluitkabel bescha-
digd is, moet deze voor het ver-
der gebruik van het toestel door
de service of een elektromon-
teur worden vervangen om ge-
vaar te vermijden.
De netaansluitkabel alleen ver-
vangen door het type dat in de
gebruiksaanwijzing is vermeld.
De netaansluitkabel niet be-
schadigen (b.v. door erover te
rijden, eraan te rukken, vast te
klemmen).
De netaansluitkabel alleen di-
rect aan de stekker uit het stop-
contact trekken (niet door eraan
te trekken).
Controleren of de toestand van
het toestel aan de voorschriften
voldoet. De stekker en de kop-
pelingen van de netaansluitka-
bel moeten tenminste spatwa-
terdicht zijn.
Nooit met beschadigd filterele-
ment zuigen.
Vloeistoffen zuigen
Bij schuimontwikkeling of vloei-
stofuittreding onmiddellijk het
werk beëindigen en het vuilre-
servoir leegmaken.
De ingebouwde niveauslang
voor de waterstandbegrenzing
regelmatig reinigen en inzake
beschadiging controleren.
Instructies inzake het omgaan
met vloeistoffen en (voor de ge-
zondheid gevaarlijk) stof vindt u
in hoofdstuk 5.
Elektrotechniek
Controleer de nominale span-
ning van het toestel vooraleer u
het op het net aansluit. Overtuig
u ervan dat de spanning die op
het typeplaatje is aangegeven
overeenstemt met de plaatse-
lijke nominale spanning.
Bij gebruik van een verleng-
snoer mag alleen de door de
producent aangegeven of een
hoogwaardigere uitvoering wor-
den gebruikt - zie hoofdstuk 9.4
„Technische gegevens“.
Er wordt aanbevolen dat het
toestel via een aardlekschake-
laar wordt aangesloten. Deze
onderbreekt de voeding als de
lekstroom tegen aarde 30 mA
gedurende 30 ms overschrijdt of
hij bevat een aardingscontrole-
kring.
Bij gebruik van een verlengsnoer
op de minimumdiameter van het
snoer letten:
Kabellengte
m
Diameter
<16 A <25 A
Tot 20 m
ø1.5mm² ø2.5mm²
20 tot 50 m
ø2.5mm² ø4.0mm²
De ordening van de onder span-
ning staande delen (stopcontac-
ten, stekkers en koppelingen) en
het leggen van het verlengsnoer
zodanig kiezen dat de veilig-
heidsklasse behouden blijft.
Het bovendeel van de zuiger
nooit met water afspuiten: ge-
vaar voor personen, kortslui-
tingsgevaar.
Er moet worden gelet op de laat-
ste uitgave van de IEC-bepalin-
gen.
