Using the Makita GCV09L1 upright vacuum is a breeze. First, charge the 40V XGT® 8.0Ah battery using the included rapid charger. It takes 76 minutes or less to fully charge. Once charged, attach the battery to the vacuum. You can choose from three speed settings - high, medium, or low, depending on your cleaning needs. For general cleaning, medium speed is usually a good choice. If you're dealing with tough dirt, switch to high speed. For light cleaning or to save battery, use the low - speed setting. Adjust the height of the vacuum according to the floor type you're cleaning. There are five height adjustment levels to ensure optimal cleaning. When cleaning under furniture, easily adjust the vacuum to a horizontal position. You can also use the attachments stored on the vacuum, like the round brush and crevice tool, for hard - to - reach areas. To keep your vacuum in top shape, regularly check the dust bag and replace it when it's full. Clean the brush roller often to remove hair and clogs. You can do this easily since it's tool - free. Also, keep an eye on the HEPA filter and replace it as needed to maintain good suction power. Make sure to store the vacuum in a dry place to avoid damage. And always follow the safety instructions in the user manual to prevent any accidents.
