away. It may result in loss of your eyesight.
5. Do not short the battery cartridge:
(1) Do not touch the terminals with any
conductive material.
(2) Avoid storing battery cartridge in a
container with other metal objects such as
nails, coins, etc.
(3) Do not expose battery cartridge to water or

charger.
Tips for maintaining maximum
battery life
1. Charge the battery cartridge before completely
discharged. Always stop tool operation and
charge the battery cartridge when you notice
less tool power.
2. Never recharge a fully charged battery cartridge.
Overcharging shortens the battery service life.
3. Charge the battery cartridge with room
temperature at 10 °C - 40 °C (50 °F - 104 °F). Let a
hot battery cartridge cool down before charging
it.
4. When not using the battery cartridge, remove it
from the tool or the charger.
5. Charge the battery cartridge if you do not use it
for a long period (more than six months).
Tool/battery cartridge protection
system
The Robotic Cleaner is equipped with a tool/battery
cartridge protection system that automatically cuts
OFF the power to the motor to extend the life cycle of
the Robotic Cleaner and the battery cartridges. The
Robotic Cleaner automatically stops under the following
conditions.
11 ENGLISH
Overload
When the Robotic Cleaner is overloaded and an
abnormally high current is drawn, the Robotic Cleaner
automatically stops without any indication.
To restart the Robotic Cleaner, turn the power OFF,
eliminate the cause of the overload, and then turn the
power back ON.
Overheating
When the Robotic Cleaner overheats, the lamp
Cleaner automatically stops.
In this case, leave the Robotic Cleaner to cool down
before turning the power back ON.
Overdischarge
When the remaining battery level becomes low, the
Robotic Cleaner automatically stops and does not
respond to any switch operations.
In this case, remove and recharge the battery
cartridges.

1. Place the side brush on the rotating shaft head on
the Robotic Cleaner with the groove of the brush
2. Secure the side brush using the supplied screw.
NOTICE: Make sure that the Robotic Cleaner is
operated with the side brushes installed.
Installing the battery cartridges
Align the groove (Fig. C-2) on the battery cartridge with
the tongue (Fig. C-3) on the battery dock and slip it into
place. Insert it all the way until it locks in place with a
small click.
If you can see the red indicator (Fig. C-1) on the upper
side of the release button, the battery cartridge is not
completely locked.
CAUTION: Care must be taken in installing the
between the dock and the battery cartridge.
The Robotic Cleaner operates with only one battery
cartridge installed on either of the battery dock.
To remove the battery cartridge, slide it from the battery
dock while pressing the release button (Fig. D-1) on the
cartridge.

CAUTION: If the skin or eyes come into
contact with electrolyte leaking from the batteries,
Pairing the Robotic Cleaner and the remote control
The Robotic Cleaner comes already paired with the
remote control. However, the pairing process must be
performed again if you replace the remote control.
1. Press and hold the Timer (Fig. F-6)

OPERATION
according to the preset cruising mode, avoiding
obstacles using ultrasonic sensors (Fig. P-1), and
captures dust and dirt and other debris on the route
using the side brushes, main brush, and vacuum fan.
However, the sensors may not detect an obstacle
in some situations. If your Robotic Cleaner hits an
obstacle, the Robotic Cleaner’s bumper (Fig. P-2)
absorbs impact and changes the direction of travel.
13 ENGLISH
NOTE: There may be cases where the Robotic
Cleaner could not pass over the barriers at the height
of up to 1.5 cm, even though the Robotic Cleaner is
designed to pass over such barriers.
NOTE: The Robotic Cleaner may avoid an area
where is colored in black, having black wood-grain
patterns, or an area made of glass.
NOTE: After a cleaning cycle is completed, some dust
and dirt may remain under certain conditions.
NOTE: Wireless communication may be interrupted
or blocked under the following conditions:

Operations
In standby mode, press the Boundary sensor button
(Fig. F-11) on the Robotic Cleaner to activate the
boundary sensor (Fig. O-2).
The lamp (Fig. F-11) lights up.
To deactivate the boundary sensor, press
the Boundary sensor button again.
NOTICE: This setting is not possible in sleep mode
with the auto-on timer activated.
MAINTENANCE
CAUTION: Always make sure that both battery
cartridges are removed before attempting to perform
cleaning, inspection or maintenance.
NOTICE: Be sure to take out the dust box before
turning over the Robotic Cleaner to prevent dust and
dirt from dropping out of the main brush opening.
NOTICE: Be sure to spread a rug or other cushioning
and the Robotic Cleaner (Fig. B).
NOTICE: Never use hot water (higher than 40°C
(104°F)), gasoline, benzine, thinner, alcohol or the
like. Discoloration, deformation, or cracks may result.
To maintain product SAFETY and RELIABILITY,
be performed by Makita Authorized or Factory Service
Centers, always using Makita replacement parts.
Cleaning the side brushes
(Figs. A, M-1)
• Threads and hairs tangled in the bristles of the
side brushes may cause the brush to stop rotating.
Remove them using tweezers or similar tools.
• If the bristles are deformed or missing, replace with
the spare brush (see “Installing the side brushes” for
details).
Cleaning the wheels
• Remove threads and hairs from the drive wheels
(Fig. M-2) using tools such as tweezers and
scissors. Turning the wheel facilitates the cleaning.

Cleaning the main brush
Removing the side brushes (see “Installing the side
brushes” for details) facilitates the following work.
1. Remove four screws (Fig. N-1), and then the bottom
plate (Fig. N-2) and main brush (Fig. N-3).
2. Wipe the bottom plate (Fig. N-2) with a cloth slightly
moistened with mild detergent or wash the plate in
water if necessary.
3. Remove threads and hairs from the main brush (Fig.
N-3) using scissors and wash the main brush in
water if necessary.
16 ENGLISH
4. Wipe the inside of the vacuum vent (Fig. N-4) with a
cloth slightly moistened with mild detergent.
5. To replace the main brush, align the protruding
portion (Fig. N-5) on the right end of the main brush
with the indentation on the right shaft bush (Fig.

6. Insert the left square end of the main brush (Fig.
N-7) into the left square shaft bush (Fig. N-8).
7. Replace the bottom plate in the reverse sequence.
NOTE: When the side brushes remain attached to
the body of the Robotic Cleaner, manually rotating
the side brush facilitates attachment of the bottom
plate without pinching the bristles of the side brushes
between the plate and body of the Robotic Cleaner.

When the Robotic Cleaner cannot continue to operate
under such conditions as drive wheel hanging down or
running out of battery power, the Robotic Cleaner will
stop cleaning and tell you something is wrong by the
following lamps and buzzers.
• Troubleshooting lamp (Fig. F-2)
• Filter maintenance lamp (Fig. F-3)
• Brush maintenance lamp (Fig. F-4)
• Timer lamps (Fig. F-6)
