Maintenance Tips

• Empty & replace bags regularly: Don’t let bags overfill — full bags reduce suction and strain the motor. Always install a dust bag before use (cover won’t close without one).

• Clean/replace HEPA filter: Check HEPA filter after jobs; gently tap or blow out debris. Replace when heavily soiled to maintain 99.97 % filtration efficiency.

• Clear hose & attachments: Remove clogs in the anti-static hose and wand to preserve airflow and suction power.

• Wipe down exterior: After use, wipe the unit and harness to prevent dust buildup that can irritate straps and electronics.

• Battery care: Use genuine Makita 40V XGT batteries/chargers; store batteries in cool, dry locs and avoid deep discharge.

• Inspect straps & fit: Periodically check backpack straps and belt for wear; adjust for comfort and secure fit to avoid fatigue.
