This document provides a comprehensive guide for the Makita CL003G Cordless Cleaner, covering its functions, technical specifications, usage, and maintenance.
Function Description
The Makita CL003G is a cordless cleaner designed for collecting dry dust. It features a robust motor with a battery protection system that automatically cuts off power to extend the life of both the tool and the battery. The cleaner offers four suction power modes: Quiet, Normal, High, and Max speed, allowing users to adjust the power according to the cleaning task. An ON/OFF button controls the cleaner, and a separate button is used to cycle through the suction power modes. The cleaner also includes a lamp that illuminates during operation and blinks when the battery capacity is low, providing visual feedback to the user.
The cleaner's design incorporates a cyclone unit that helps reduce the amount of dust entering the main body, thereby enhancing suction performance and simplifying dust disposal. Various attachments, such as a nozzle, extension wand (straight pipe), and corner nozzle, can be installed to suit different cleaning needs, from tables and desks to floors, corners, and tight spaces in cars or furniture. Some attachments feature a lock function for secure installation, while others are designed for a twist-and-insert mechanism.
The battery cartridge includes indicator lamps to display the remaining battery capacity, which can be checked by pressing a dedicated button. The protection system also monitors for overload, low battery voltage, and other conditions that could damage the tool, automatically stopping operation if these conditions are met.

- Lamp Function: A built-in lamp illuminates when the suction power change button is pressed, staying on for approximately 10 seconds after activation or during continuous operation. It blinks when the battery capacity is low.
- Attachments:
- Nozzle: Easily attaches for cleaning tables, desks, and furniture.
- Nozzle + Extension Wand: Ideal for cleaning floors in a standing position.
- Corner Nozzle: Designed for cleaning corners and crevices in cars or furniture, and can be stored in a nozzle holder.
- Corner Nozzle + Extension Wand: Useful for tight spaces or high, hard-to-reach areas.
- Cleaning without Nozzle: Allows for picking up powder and dust directly.
- Dust Disposal: The dust case should be emptied before it becomes too full to maintain suction force. It is removed by pressing release buttons on both sides and pulling it apart from the cyclone body. After emptying, the dust case is reattached with a click.
Maintenance Features
Regular maintenance is crucial for optimal performance and longevity of the CL003G.
- General Maintenance: Always ensure the tool is switched off and the battery cartridge is removed before any inspection or maintenance. Avoid using gasoline, benzine, thinner, alcohol, or similar substances, as they can cause discoloration, deformation, or cracks.
- Cleaner Body: Wipe the exterior with a cloth dampened in soapy water and clean the suction openings.
- Cyclone Unit and Filters:
- Dust Case: Empty the dust case when dust accumulates. If it becomes dirty, it can be removed, washed with water, and thoroughly dried before reassembly.
- Mesh Filter: Tap the cyclone unit to remove dust. The mesh filter can be disassembled into a prefilter, tubular sponge filter, and mesh pipe for thorough cleaning. All components should be washed with soapy water, rinsed, and dried in the shade.
- High Performance Filter (Optional): Remove from the cleaner body, wipe and shake off dust, or wash with soapy water, rinse, and dry in the shade. Avoid fastening the rubber sealing ring when drying.
- HEPA Filter (Optional): Remove from the cleaner body, disassemble the high performance prefilter by twisting, and then wipe and shake off dust from both filters. Wash with soapy water, rinse, and dry in the shade. Avoid rubbing or scratching the HEPA filter with hard objects.
- Sponge Sheet: Remove from the suction opening, wipe and shake off dust, or wash with soapy water, rinse, and dry in the shade. Ensure it is correctly reinstalled with no gaps.
- Air Channels in Cyclone Unit: If suction performance is affected, disassemble the cyclone unit (dust case, mesh filter, and cyclone body) and remove any foreign substances blocking the air channels, especially around the incoming air port. Ensure the O-ring and flap valve are securely in place before reassembly.
- Troubleshooting: The manual includes a troubleshooting guide for common issues like weak suction, non-operation, noise, and vibration, providing solutions before seeking professional repair. Users are cautioned against attempting repairs themselves.
This detailed overview ensures users can effectively operate and maintain their Makita CL003G Cordless Cleaner for optimal performance and safety.
