NOTE:
•Take the polyethylene bag carefully out of the tank so that the polyethylene bag cannot be caught and torn by the protrusion inside the tank when emptying it.
•Empty the polyethylene bag before it becomes full. Too much dust in the tank may cause the polyethylene bag to be torn.
Installing powder filter (Fig. 11)
Place the prefilter in the tank.
Next, mount the damper on the powder filter and then place it in the prefilter.

have some spares for them.
To maintain product SAFETY and RELIABILITY, repairs, any other maintenance or adjustment should be performed by Makita Authorized Service Centers, always using Makita replacement parts.
