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.

• 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

1. Switch

• 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

• 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 dust pack is used.
