Using your Makita 40V max XGT® 6 Quart HEPA Filter Backpack Dry Vacuum is easy. First, put on the backpack using the padded shoulder straps and waist belt. Adjust them for a comfortable fit. Connect the anti - static hose to the vacuum and attach the appropriate nozzle for the job, like the floor nozzle for large areas or the crevice nozzle for tight spots.
Before you start, make sure the dust bag is properly installed. The stopper on the cover will prevent it from closing if the bag is missing. Then, turn on the vacuum using the controller. You can select one of the 4 - speed power levels according to your cleaning needs. Higher speeds are great for tougher messes, but they use more battery power.
When it comes to the battery, the auto - switching two - bay battery system is very handy. Just make sure you charge the 40V max XGT® 4.0Ah batteries using the Dual Port Rapid Optimum Charger. If you use two fully - charged batteries, you'll get longer run time.
Here are some important notes. Don't use the vacuum in wet conditions as it's a dry vacuum. Also, keep the HEPA filter clean. You can check it regularly and replace it when it's dirty to maintain good suction power and filtration efficiency.
For maintenance, after each use, empty the dust bag. Wipe down the exterior of the vacuum with a clean cloth. Store the vacuum in a cool, dry place. If you're not using it for a long time, remove the batteries and store them separately. This will help keep your vacuum in great shape and ensure it lasts for a long time.
