Makita VC1310L, VC2510L, VC3210L instruction manual Assembly

Locking the caster is convenient when storing the cleaner, stopping the work on the way and keeping the cleaner still.

To operate the stopper, move it by hand.

NOTE:

•When moving the cleaner, make sure that the caster is unlocked. Moving the cleaner with the caster in the locked position may cause damage to the caster.

ASSEMBLY

CAUTION:

•Always be sure that the cleaner is switched off and unplugged before carrying out any work on the cleaner.

Installing the water filter (Fig. 11)

To pick up water or wet dust, remove prefilter and damper and then use water filter.

When installing the water filter on the tank, set it tight at the opening of the tank so that the hook of the water filter engages the tank opening firmly and there is no space between the water filter and the tank. (Fig. 12)

Also, install the water filter so that the mounting position marking can be aligned.

NOTE:

•Models VC2510L and VC3210L have no mounting position marking and no need to align it.

Installing the paper pack

WARNING:

•When using the paper pack, also use the prefilter together that is preinstalled on the tool. Failure to use the prefilter together may cause unusual noise and heat, resulting in a fire.

CAUTION:

•Never pick up water or other liquids or wet dusts when using the paper pack. Picking up such things may

cause the paper pack breakage.

1.Remove the rubber holder. (Fig. 13)

2.Extend the paper pack.

3.Align the paper pack opening with the dust suction opening of the cleaner. (Fig. 14 & 15)

4.Insert the cardboard of the paper pack onto the too so that it is positioned at the end beyond the detent protrusion.

Installing the pipe holder (optional accessory)

For Model VC1310L only

Depress the cord hook as shown in the figure. (Fig. 16) Attach the pipe holder onto the cord hook. (The hooks are away from the tank cover.)

Raise the pipe holder as far as the hooks contact the tank cover and press the A section of the pipe holder. (Fig. 17) Press the A section with a great force and with the A section so pressed lower the pipe holder. (Fig. 18)

Fit two protrusion of the pipe holder into the grooves of the tank cover and then press down the pipe holder. (Fig. 19 & 20)

NOTE:

•The pipe holder that is excessively lowered than the intended position cannot be installed on the cord hook with the hook away from the tank cover as shown in the figure. (Fig. 21)

NOTE:

•Make sure that the two hooks of the pipe holder are hooked on the tank cover securely. (Fig. 22)

Connecting a hose

CAUTION:

•Never force the hose for bending or stamp it. Never move the cleaner by a hose. Forcing, stamping and pulling the hose may cause a breakage or deformation of the hose.

•When picking up large wastes such as planer carvings, concrete dusts or similars other than small wastes, use the 38 mm inner diameter hose (optional accessory).

Using the 28 mm inner diameter hose may cause a hose stuffing and damage.

Insert the hose onto the mounting port of the tank and turn it clockwise until it locks. (Fig. 23)

Installing polyethylene bag

Cleaner can also be used without polyethylene bag. However, using polyethylene bag is easier to empty the tank without letting your hands dirty.

Spread the polyethylene bag in the tank. Insert it between the holder plate and the tank, and pull it to the hose inlet.

(Fig. 24)

Spread the bag around the top of the tank.

Hook up the other side of the bag around the top of the tank so that the prefilter hook can catch and hold it securely. (Fig. 25)

NOTE:

•A polyethylene bag available on the market can be used. The 0.04 mm or thicker one is recommended.

•Too much dust will tear the bag easily, so do not collect the dust more than the half of the bag capacity.

Emptying the polyethylene bag

WARNING:

•Always make sure that the cleaner is switched off and unplugged before emptying the polyethylene bag. Failure to do so may cause an electric shock and serious personal injury.

CAUTION:

•Do not apply a great impact on the powder filter and tank. Applying a great impact may cause deformation and damage to powder filter and tank.

•Empty the tank at least once a day although this depends on picked-up dust volume in the tank. Or, the suction force will weaken and the motor may be broken.

•Do not grab the hook when emptying the tank. Grabbing the hook may cause the hook to break.

Unhook and lift up the tank cover. (Fig. 26)

Shake off the dust from powder filter, damper and prefilter and then take the polyethylene bag out of the tank.

(Fig. 27)
