Cleaning the brushroll
1.
Remove the bottom plate, and then remove the
brushroll.
If the hair of the brushroll gets short, ask the Makita
service center for new one.
Operating the appliance with the short hair brushroll
results in poor dust collecting.

CAUTION:
Attach the bottom plate com-
pletely. If the appliance is operated without the
bottom plate, the brushroll may come off and cause
injury.
NOTICE:
Always attach the brushroll. Operating
the appliance without the brushroll results in poor
dust collecting.
