IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
FOR BUILT-IN BATTERY
ENC008-1
1. Before using built-in battery, read all instructions
and cautionary markings on (1) battery charger,
(2) battery, and (3) product using battery.
2. Do not disassemble built-in battery.
3. If operating time has become excessively
shorter, stop operating immediately. It may
result in a risk of overheating, possible burns
and even an explosion.
4. If electrolyte gets into your eyes, rinse them out
with clear water and seek medical attention right
away. It may result in loss of your eyesight.
5. Do not short the built-in battery:
(1) Do not touch the terminals with any
conductive material.
(2) Avoid storing built-in battery in a container
with other metal objects such as nails, coins,
etc.
(3)Do not expose built-in battery to water or rain.
A battery short can cause a large current flow,
overheating, possible burns and even a
breakdown.
6. Do not store the tool and built-in battery in
locations where the temperature may reach or
exceed 50 °C (122 °F).
7. Do not incinerate the built-in battery even if it is
severely damaged or is completely worn out.
The built-in battery can explode in a fire.
8. Be careful not to drop or strike battery.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS.
Tips for maintaining maximum battery life
1. Charge the built-in battery before completely
discharged.
Always stop tool operation and charge the built-
in battery when you notice less tool power.
2. Never recharge a fully charged built-in battery.
Overcharging shortens the battery service life.
3. Charge the built-in battery with room
temperature at 10 °C – 40 °C (50 °F – 104 °F). Let
a hot built-in battery cool down before charging
it.
FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION
CAUTION:
• Always be sure that the tool is switched off before
adjusting or checking function on the tool.
Charging the built-in battery (Fig. 1 & 2)
Use only the Makita charger DC7021 to charge this
cleaner. Use of other type chargers may cause the
battery to burst, resulting in personal injury and damage.
Charge the cleaner when it is to be used for the first time
or it has been left uncharged for a long time. Connect the
charging plug to the charging connector, then plug in the
charger to the power receptacle. The light in front of the
cleaner switch will come on and charging will begin.
Charging takes approximately 3 – 5 hours. The light goes
out after the charging is complete. Refer to the instruction
manual for the charger for more details.
CAUTION:
• Do not operate the cleaner during charging. It may be
damaged.
• Always disconnect the charging plug from the cleaner
after charging.
• When you charge a new cleaner or a cleaner which has
been left uncharged for a long time, it may not accept a
full charge. This is a normal condition and does not
indicate a problem. You can recharge the cleaner fully
after discharging it completely a couple of times.
• Maximum charging time may be 9 hours depending on
room temperature.
Switch action (Fig. 3)
CAUTION:
• Always be sure that the dust bag or paper pack is
installed properly in the cleaner before use. Improper
installation may allow dust to enter the motor, resulting
in malfunction of the cleaner.
• Always switch off the cleaner after each use to prevent
damage to the cleaner and to lengthen the service life
of the batteries.
This cleaner can be operated in “standard” and “strong”
suction. For standard suction, slide the switch forward to
the LOW position. For strong suction, slide the switch
further to the HIGH position.
To stop the cleaner, slide the switch back to the OFF
position.
ASSEMBLY
Dust disposal
CAUTION:
• Empty the cleaner before it becomes too full, or the
suction force weakens.
• Be sure to empty out the dust inside the cleaner itself.
Failure to do so may cause the sponge filter to be
clogged or the motor to be damaged.
• Never throw away the dust stopper because it should
be used whenever either the dust bag or the paper
pack is used.
Push the A part of the lever and grab it. Pull the lever in
the direction B to open the cover. (Fig. 4 & 5)
CAUTION:
• Do not pull the lever in the direction C with excessive
force. Doing this may cause the lever to be taken apart
or damaged. (Fig. 6)
Pull out both the dust stopper and dust bag together at
the same time. (Fig. 7)
Remove the dust stopper and empty the cleaner. (Fig. 8
& 9)
Dust bag and paper pack
Install either dust bag or paper pack before using
cleaner.
Use the dust stopper when installing either dust bag or
paper pack.
Dust bag is usable many times repeatedly by cleaning it
out.
Paper pack is a throw-away type. Throw away the entire
paper pack without emptying when it has become full.
