Important safety instructions
Before using the appliance, always read the operating instructions and keep them readily available.
Purpose and intended use
Besides the operating instructions and the binding accident prevention regulations valid in the country
of use, observe recognised regulations for safety and proper use.
WARNING – The appliance must
– only be used by persons, who have been instructed in its correct usage and explicitly commis-
sioned with the task of operating it
– only be operated under supervision
This appliance is not intended for use by persons (including children) with reduced physical, sensory
or mental capabilities, or lack of experience and knowledge.
Children should be supervised to ensure that they do not play with the appliance.
The vacuum cleaners described in this operating manual are suitable for
– sucking up dust and liquids
– dust suction for handheld power tools
– commercial use, e.g. in hotels, schools, hospitals, factories, shops, offices and rental businesses
– separation of dust with an exposure limit of greater than 1 mg/m³ (dust class L). Please observe
regulations valid in your country.
WARNING – 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 dust, etc.)
CAUTION – The appliance must
– only be used indoors and not outdoors
– be protected against UV radiation
Before start-up
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
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).
Only use the appliance if it is in undamaged condition. Never use the vacuum cleaner without a filter,
or if the filter is damaged.
Ensure that the voltage shown on the rating plate corresponds to the voltage of the local mains power
supply. It is recommended that the vacuum cleaner should be connected via a residual current circuit
breaker.
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 Makita-Service or an electrician to avoid danger before use of the
vacuum cleaner is continued. Use only the type of power cord specified in the operating manual.
As an extension lead, only use the version specified by the manufacturer or one of a higher quality.

Picking up liquids
Before liquids are picked up, always remove the filter bag.
CAUTION – Check that the float works properly.

> Filter element is clogged. • See section “Cleaning the filter
element” and “Replacing the
filter element”.
‡ No suction power during wet
cleaning
> Tank is full (floater closes the
suction opening).
• Switch off the cleaner. Empty
the tank.
‡ Voltage fluctuations > Impedance of power supply is
too high.
• Use a suitable extension cord
(see section “Technical data”).
• Connect the cleaner to another
socket closer to the fuse box.
Voltage fluctuations over 7
% should not occur if the
impedance at the transfer point
is ≤0.15 Ω.
