  Christine WhiteAug 27, 2025
  If your Makita Vacuum Cleaner stops while running, it may be caught on a cord or other object, or a cloth or string might be tangled around the wheels. Turn off the power and remove any obstructions. If it stopped without climbing a step, turn it off and move it to another location. Also, the LiDAR sensor requires obstacles taller than 25 cm within certain ranges, so ensure such obstacles are present.
