2. Attaching Accessories:

   Attach the extension wand to the main body of the vacuum cleaner. Then, attach the desired nozzle (floor nozzle or crevice nozzle) to the end of the extension wand. Ensure all connections are secure.

3. Filter and Dust Collection:

   Verify that the HEPA filter and dust collection system (either a dust bag or dust capsule) are correctly installed inside the vacuum cleaner body before operation.

Operating Instructions

1. Power On/Off:

   Press the power button (Controller Type: Push Button) located on the handle to turn the vacuum cleaner on. Press it again to turn it off.

2. Adjusting Suction Power:

   The vacuum cleaner features 3 power levels (Number of Power Levels: 3) or speeds (Number of Speeds: 3). Use the control method (Touch) to cycle through the power settings to suit your cleaning needs. Higher power settings consume battery faster.
3. Usage:

   Guide the floor nozzle over the surface to be cleaned. For hard-to-reach areas, detach the extension wand and use the crevice nozzle directly on the main body. The vacuum is suitable for indoor use (Indoor/Outdoor Usage: Indoor).

Maintenance

Regular maintenance ensures the longevity and efficiency of your vacuum cleaner.

• Emptying Dust: Empty the dust collection system (dust bag or capsule) after each use or when it reaches its maximum capacity to prevent loss of suction.
• Filter Cleaning/Replacement: The vacuum uses a HEPA Filter. Regularly check the filter for dirt and debris. Clean the filter according to Makita's recommendations (usually by tapping out dust or rinsing with water if specified for your model). Replace the filter periodically to maintain air quality and suction.
• Nozzle and Wand Cleaning: Remove any tangled hair or debris from the floor nozzle and extension wand to ensure smooth operation.
• Battery Care: Store batteries in a cool, dry place. Do not expose them to extreme temperatures. Charge batteries fully before storing for extended periods.
