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.

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.
